[vb2008] Retrieve Previous Settings During A New Update?
Jun 20, 2011
If I modify a program of mine in some parts, adding also some settings in My.Settings and changing version, then I have to compile and create a new installer with the dear old InnoSetup.
Then I install the program, I go to see the settings ... and I see that them are the default settings stored in the MyProgram.exe.config file shipped with the new installer.
But is absolutely easy that a user would have changed the settings in a previous version (if existing) of the program.
So now the question is: during the new installation is there some clean and tested method to retrieve and update the settings set by users in any previous version of a program?

I am populating a dropdownlist with the prior months/year for the end user to select. I am able to pull everything within the current year but I am looking to extend this to a 24 month period.
So far I have
Dim dateNow As Date = DateTime.Now
Dim dateMonth As Integer = Month(dateNow)
Dim dateYear As Integer = Year(dateNow)
For i As Integer = dateMonth To 1 Step -1
ddlTime.Items.Add(DataCalls.Calls.Production.GetMonthName(i,dateYear))
[Code] .....
As you can see, this will only give me the current month down to Jan of this year. I want to go beyond that.

Is there a way to maintain application modified Settings in the settings files after a program update? i.e. I have 10 or so values in the settings file and the users can modify them... when I send a program update they revert back to what I initially programmed them to be.

the code below is for creating controls at runtiem, but i have realised even tho i remove the controls and then add controls, they are keeping their settings and more so the Data, eg the checked list boxes are keeping their data so if i do some work with 1 of the 3 pannels then when i change the pannel im working on it still has its lists, how would i go about using a 'frest template' as in a clear all previous settings just so their isn't any possable errors.

Every time I compile my app and the version number changes (I have an auto-incrementing build number), I lose the user-configured app.config settings, since they're stored in the AppData folder for a specific version. Essentially, every release of my application starts from scratch as far as user settings go.
While this is a mild annoyance in development, it raises the question as I approach deployment/release - if I use the app.config to store my user settings, will the user's personalized settings be hosed every time they install a patch that changes the version number of my app? If so, is there an easy way to "upgrade" the settings from the previous release? I know that using HKCU in the registry is another option, but I like the ease of the My.Settings namespace, and I'd like to stay with app.config.

But i've a problem, everytime i hit the button "Save Settings" in my form/application it will re-save the settings to ini file, causing duplicate entries :(
Does anyone knows how can i avoid it to happen?
And, how can i retrieve a setting from the ini file to a textbox or messagebox or something?
(before anyone start saying me to use .xml, i was reading and i prefer the .ini files to what i'm doing)

The idea with this form is to add the futures which is calculated when the button is pushed but I need the list to update every time and show the values each time to which the previous value is added to the new calculation, e.g. of what it should look like in listbox:
Year 1: $1,290.93
Year 2: $2,724.32
Year 3: $4,350.76
etc....
I have been working on this a while and I am at a standstill, I was given a function to clear the form everytime it calculates but I don't know how to implement it, I am new to VB. Here is what I have so far:
Public Class frmFutureValue
Private Sub btnCalculate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculate.Click

I'm working on a project at the moment that relies heavily on the configuration information stored in My.Settings. The problem is, whenever I update the software, it resets the settings. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the way I update the software. I make my changes to the program, then up the version of the application and its setup project (also creating a new Product Code). Afterward, I just run the new install to update the application.

I'm currently working on an application written in VB.net using Visual Studio. The app retrieves and updates data from a remote database. While debugging, I updated a particular row in the database and after messing around a bit managed to crash the app. Since then, whenever I fetch that particular row, the data that was previously updated continues to be retreived - regardless of what is actually in the database.
All other rows properly reflect the data in the database and are capable of being updated through the application as they should. However with this one particular row it continues to retrieve outdated data and locks up the application when I attempt to perform an update. Does Visual Studio create some sort of local copy of the database which was perhaps corrupted?

I am doing a system for my project. The system will request user choose or fill-in the birthday date. From the birthday date, I need to calculate the age and store it into database (MSSQL). My problem is, if I am able to calculate the age and store it into database, how do I update the age? How do I update all the age in the AGE column every year? (no matter update based on YEAR or MONTH DATE as long as there is a way to do it, automatically)

I am having an issue on the listbox when the new data value equal to previous data then = to "0". However, I want if the new data value( A ) is equal to the previous data( B ) then ( A ) equal to ( B ).

My problem is when the new data comes out from the API, if it is equal to the previous data and it will appear 0. But what i want is the new data comes out is 0 and it will equal to previous data. e.g: first data comes out is 12.00, in above case, if the second data comes out is 12.00 but it will shows 0 which means unchanged. But in my case now, i want if the first data come out is 12.00, then if the next data is unchanged (0) and it will appear 12.00 and so on.

The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.

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.
