A Boolean Value Does Not Persist After Publishing
May 1, 2009
I'm working with Visual Basic 2008 Express. My application opens with the Terms screen, a form that asks the user to declare his acceptance of certain terms and conditions or to decline. If he accepts, the app opens the main screen, giving him access to all the app's facilities. If he declines, the app gives him a message and then closes. Whether he chooses to accept or decline, the app puts his decision in My.Settings so that it can be used next time the app is opened. In this way he is presented with the Terms screen on the next opening if he declined on the last run. But if he accepted on the last run, he is presented with the main screen on his next opening.
All works fine when I do a debug run. But when I build and publish the app onto my desktop it opens with the Main screen instead of the Terms screen.
why it works on F5 but not after publishing?
Public
Class frmTerms
Dim Accept As Boolean

From what I read it is a good convention to name a method that returns a boolean value with the prefix of "is" or "has". So in keeping with this convention I am trying to name a method in my program with this prefix but I am running Specifically I have a class called Day. It is a simple class with a few data members and one method that returns a boolean value of true or false. The name of the boolean variable is isSpecialDay. This class has a method called isSpecialDay which takes the date of the day, applies some criteria to the date and then sets the variable isSpecialDay to true or false. My problem is that the boolean variable is named isSpecialDay and so it the method. What should I do?
Public Class Day
Private TheDate as String
Private DayName as String

I have a datagridview in a form that is dynamically bound to a datatable. When the user clicks a button I update certian columns of the current row with code like this:
Dim i As Integer = myDataGridView.CurrentRow.Index
Me.myDataGridView.Item("closed", i).Value = DBNull.Value

I need to very quickly write an exe system on a laptop where when the laptops are connected to the network they read a database table and store the data locally, so staff can use the laptop while they roam.The laptops have quite small capacity and the company would prefer not to use SQL Express or Access.
My question is, can the data initially be downloaded into the exe application via a dataadapter and dataset, and will that dataset the retain the downloaded data, or will I need to ensure the dataset is written to an XML file and then loaded/unloaded each time the laptop application is started while the staff are travelling ?

I'm having some problems in persisting the viewstate on postback for a Control (vb.net)
here's some code i've put in my control[code]...
I'm setting EnableViewState = "true" everywhere i can, but still no result. Do i really need to set those properties here. (ViewStateMode and EnableViewState) If not, where should i handle this and what is the difference between those properties?

I have been searching for quite a while now but i am unable to find the answer to the following. I am storing a key pair in Windows Store, and recently started receiving the "Keyset does not exist" error. Investigating a bit further i found out it could be two things, 1 - The private key is not stored with the persist key set attribute (X509KeyStorageFlags.PersistKeySet) and 2 - access rights to the key. I have tried both 1 and 2 with no success on one machine (in my machine it works apparently). The strange thing is that when i look into MicrosoftCryptoRSAMachineKeys (and S-1-5-18) the key remains there but only for a period of time then it is deleted which means that it is not persisting.
//If decoded then save as RSACryptoServiceProvider
newCert.PrivateKey = DecodePrivateKey(privateKeyFile, pkPassword)
if (newCert.PrivateKey == null)
[Code]....
I have just found out today that since i am doing this through a WCF service, the application pool is deleting the private key when it reaches its idle time limit so i am completely sure that it is the application pool the one disposing of the private key which causes the key to be deleted from the MicrosoftCryptoRSAMachineKeys and S-1-5-18 folders. Today i left a test running where i disabled Idle time shut down from the application pool bu i am still not sure if the private key will stop persisting with a restart or something like that?
Would anybody know how to make the application pool stop deleting my private keys?

I need some general advice about using ListView. The program was originally written in VB2002, but now it's running in VB2008.The results of my program would typically be a ListView of 30 lines by 8 columns. I need to be able to save this data so that it persists after I close the program. There will never be a need to manipulate the data, so I'm looking for something simple. (There will be a need to print it.) I'm presuming that I need to link to a database to save the data. Correct? If so, can I use the one in Microsoft Works (which I already have), or do I need to get Microsoft Access, or is there some other better (simpler?) alternative?

I'm looking for a simple, efficient way to get the position of the browser vertical scrollbar and save it into a session variable in an ASP page. What I'm trying to do is when the user changes a page I've the scroll position stored in a session variable so that when the user returns to the page the page will scroll to their last position.Is there a way to do this? I've seen examples of persisting the scroll position on postback but nothing yet doing exactly what I'm trying to do [code]

I need to save the controls location and size on the parent form to file. My aim is to be able to simply copy that file to the path where an instance of my program is running and then it automatically applies the previously saved layout of controls. How can I use My.Settings to do that or is there another better option?

Instinctively, I would say that this is impossible, as NHibernate needs to know some mapping information on how to persist a given type. Thus, I encountered some situations in which I could use such a feature. For instance, through a named query or something like so. On the other hand, using a named query would require me to make an addition to the configuration file.
Let's suppose we have an application interacting with some underlying datastore. This datastore is configured through the NHibernate configuration file. Then, I wish to have NHibernate load only a subset of an entity properties, from another subsystem to which my application shouldn't need to interact much, so it is not worthy to define classes for this system, as I only need a fraction of this alien system's information, let's say three out of thirty-two data columns. For that matter, if I chose to load only those three columns let's say for performance concerns, I would then use an anonymous type, perform the required action onto this information, then persist it back to the datastore. Now, it wouldn't be of much interest to do so if I only had one entity to get loaded from the datastore, so let's say I have about 75,000 rows to load into my process. I then shall consider this subset option very seriously!
What strategy should you choose in such situation, if you needed to persist these changes to a subset only of this entity's properties?FYI: I am asking because I must write specific rules of usage with NHibernate, such rules that even a beginner developer would even be able to use it without knowing too much about NHibernate, but only following the rules and guidance of the technical documents I have to produce.

Let's say an application needs to persist mostly immutable data. Let's say the application's data files can grow fairly large. How would you implement a simple transaction processing so that changes are either successfully committed or rolled back?
The only requirement is to use built-in .Net libraries. (no databases, no third party libraries)
Here's my current solution. The data file will have three main sections: (1) header, (2) data, (3) index. For now, the header section simply contains an offset to the start of the index section. The data section will store mostly immutable data. The index section will contain serialized objects with enough information to access the data section.
When the application starts, it only needs to deserialize objects from index section. Anything from the data section can be fetched as needed. As the application gets ready to write changes, it makes a temporary copy of the original header and index sections. These would be small relative to the data section. New data would then be appended to the original data section. Once all data has been written, in memory objects would be serialized to the end of the file to become the new index section.
If all this goes without a hitch, the temporary file can be deleted. If something goes wrong, the temporary file can be used to restore the data file to its original state.
Will this work or is there a more elegant approach?

I am making some changes to a fairly old project.It has a DataGrid with an Inherited Class
Public Class CustomDataGridTextBox
Inherits DataGridTextBoxColumn
and a Override Sub Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Paint (.......What it was doing was alternating the Data Grid Line colours New Requirement is to break up some items in the DataGrid By categories So I have added new lines to the data and sorted so they show up ad category headers (Production Stations) And they would like the Category Header to be a different colour and then the alternating line colours to restart.This did not sound too difficult but that has proven a trap Setting the category header is no problem but restarting the alternating colours is Previously the row was determined to be odd or even to set the colour.Now I am intending to use an Integer to define what colour is used but it persists only for that text box.
How can I get it to extend its life so each call can refer to it and update it and set the desired colour?All I need to do is have an integer variable that will hold its value for the next call?

I have an app where I need to dynamically choose an SQLDataSource for a GridView so I can use 1 of 2 stored procedures, depending on who is logged into the system. My problem is that I am using logic like this, in the button click...
If Session("SiteType") = "Type1" Then
GridView1.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource2"
Else
[code]....
This happens when you click the button that reveals the panel with the gridview in it. The user then makes changes (basically adjusting a text box on one or more liens of the grid) and then clicks "save". However, the gridview no longer knows its DataSourceID once this happens, so when I try to go through the gridview's rows - there are none.
If, in the save button's click, I put the same code, it (of course) blanks out any of the data changes I made in the form. So, simply put - how do I dynamically choose the SqlDataSource, but only one time, so that the program then keeps that SqlDataSourceID associated with the gridview until the end of the cycle? Is this a ViewState thing? I don't totally understand ViewState...

I'm using an Entity Framework context, and sometimes would like to create a transaction so that the client can do multiple changes and then commit/rollback them all together.However, if many changes were made, and SaveChanges() was called multiple times, after which a rollback is called, entities that were commited already, will remain the way they were commited, and would not roll back.Here's how my transaction-relative functions look like:
Public Sub BeginTransaction()
Dim context = HttpContext.Current.GetObjectContext()
If Not context.Connection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
context.Connection.Open()
End If
[Code]...
Not only does the test fail, but it also leave the ObjectContext in an unstable mode, because it still has invalid changes in it.

I want to hear some discussion regarding what is the best way to persist program parameter and variable settings from one run of the program to the next. I used to often use the ubiquitous INI type file in VB6 programs but I am aware that these are not formally supported in .Net programs. I also have a major aversion to adding to the already overwhelming bloat of the Windows registry by using that to store values.

I had a working WCF published to IIS on my server. Recently I created another, self-hosting WCF (windows service) and added a reference to it from my WCF on IIS. Like this:
ASP --> WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Now, I can't seem to add a reference to my first WCF in my ASP app. So I've got this:
ASP XXX WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Here's the service model from the WCF in IIS. I'm publishing to http://localhost/LetterWriterASP/
<?xml version="1.0"?>

In my current program, I'm calling some EXEs by just clicking on a button (so basically an all-in-one tool). (I'm using VS 2010)Question is: when I publish my project, you get of course a setup which you have to install. I'd rather have it be an EXE you can just launch.
