Application.Settings VB 2005 - Save Arrays Using The Settings System Object

Jan 14, 2009

I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.

Binding A Textbox's Text Value Setting To A Variable In Configuration File?

Jul 22, 2009

I am binding a textbox's text value setting to my a variable in my configuration file. I only consider the input from this textbox to be valid if it's an integer number bigger than 1. Right now what I was doing is letting the user write whatever he wanted in the box, and I'd only let him save the settings after calling a validation function. The problem seems to be that my binding variable in the Settings class seems to be being updated as soon as the textbox is being edited, and that's a behaviour i'd like to skip. How can I do this?

I'm trying to make a program that can export my schedule into a CSV file to upload on to google calender.I need to extract some text within a textbox control. I'll show you an example.This is the text in the textbox:

I need to get just the date and times from this list, and put them in variables. so that I'll end up with:

1) A string with a value as a date, which would be "10 January, 2011" for example: strDate1 would have the value of "10 January, 2011"

2) A start time, for example: strStartTime1 would have the value of 9:45

Retain TextBox Line Breaks In Winforms After Assigning Text To A String Variable?

Oct 3, 2011

I have a WinForms app with a multi-line textbox. This displays and retains (after loading from the DB) line break characters fine. However if I assign the TextBox.Text value to a string variable and then re-assign the variable back to the TextBox.Text property, the line break characters are lost and replaced with a square character (can't past them here as they just paste as a line break!)

Assign Value To A Variable In An Application At Runtime Through A Text File And Then Set That Value To Permanent?

sir, i have no idea how the code will look, but i want it to assign a value after reading from a text file and then store it for further use even if the text file is not there, but without using any external storage like registry, disk, ram. It should store the value in itself and do like this:-

dim variable1, variable2 as string
if file.exists("text.txt")
read the text

String Variable From My.settings?

Apr 21, 2011

I'm going to describe what I'm trying to do and then what I'm doing in hopes of making this as clear as possible.I'm trying to create a way of having data avaialble to the application that could be changed in the future and not have to recompile the code.Normally I do this for my connection strings incase something changes, this way I can just change the file and I'm good.however in this case I'm trying to store a long string variable that contains something like(including all " in the string) "Dear " + emailRecp + vbCrLf + "Thank you for buying our product...."

Now when I do this as part of the code with something like strMessage = "Dear " + emailRecp + vbCrLf + "Thank you for buying our product...."when I look at the output from this it looks like (which is what I want):

Dear Mr Smith

Thank you for buying our product....

however when I do strMessage = My.Settings.purchaseMessage (even with .ToString()) the output looks like Dear " + emailRecp + vbCrLf "Thank you for buying our product....how to do this in another manner that won't affect performance.I have also tried to trim the " from the first and last char positions and no luck.

Save A Collection Of Key/value Settings In My Application's "user Settings"?

Apr 14, 2008

I'm trying to save a collection of key/value settings in my application's "user settings" (they're column widths), but while I see no errors, when I run the code (in the IDE) my collection in "My.Settings" is always nothing at startup. I do a "My.Settings.Save" when the application exits, and barring the "serializers not found" errors in the IDE, no other errors occur. When I run my application as an exe, it behaves the same way..

Which is the best way to store application and user settings of an application running with multiple instances?My problem is that using the vb's "Application Settings" one instance would overwrite the other one.I want to identify each instance with a number passed via command line argument. I could use this number to identify the appropriate settings of the running instance, but I see in a local INI o XML file a better way to handle that.

this website seems great and this is my first post. Sorry if this has already been answered but I have been searching for a long time. I have a program with a list view in details mode. I have it load column settings (visibility, display index, width, etc.) when the form is opened and save them when closed. There are many columns...about ten so far...like folder, file, size, etc. Is there a way to access variable names from the values of other variables?

.net - Application Settings Scope - User Vs Application?

Apr 13, 2012

If I create a user level application setting and bind it to a text box on a form, then type something in the textbox, the value is automatically saved and when the application is launched again the value appears in the textbox. This doesn't happen when I scope the setting as application.

Why are application scoped settings not saved automatically like user scoped settings are?

If this is by design, how can I manually save these settings and load them at runtime?

Application Settings (Specifying The Folder)?

Jul 22, 2011

Im using vb 2010 Express. I use 'Application settings' to store "demo version exp. date" of my program. My program stores the settings in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_fbujq51flndh1ui4t4442ohpvlebhwej" folder.But when user copies the exe program and pastes it to another folder, the settings folder changes. I mean when user copies and pastes the exe program to another folder, the program starts to store the the settings in

"C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_zywjz0o2tyrcmd35h5j1fdq0lplbklwc"

(Different than the first address). This causes the exp date to change everytime user copy-pasts the program.. Is there any way to specify where to store the settings? I mean when the program starts i want to store the settings always in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftxxxx" folder.

C# - Commit Application Settings Changes?

Nov 16, 2010

I'm binding user settings to a bunch of controls on a WinForm dialog that has OK/Cancel buttons. While this works great to read in the bindings in, I would only like to commit binding changes if a user clicks OK, and not if they click cancel. Is there a simplistic setting to achieve this rather than managing all reading and committing myself?

Right now, let's say I have a textbox that binds to a user setting called "country". It has "United States" in it and if a user changes it to "Bolivia", that will get committed as soon as it is typed instead of when the OK button is pressed.
