Adding App Settings At Runtime?
Mar 9, 2009
I have some questions on AppSettings. I can add a setting at design time from the settings tab of the My Project. I would like to add to the settings at run time. I have not found a way to do this. I would in VB6 use an ini file but would like to start using xml.
The .net makes this folder for the settings C:UsersRyanAppDataLocalTestAppSettingsAppSettings.vshost.exe_Url _0ay3fimqt4k0pp1s2e4vb3pi3iymxzx2 .
How do I retrieve the location to add to the xml file?

my old vb6 program used to store to ini files now with .net I rekon I need to do something new.. was thinking XML but then in searching around I stumbled apon this my.settings stuff.. so I followed the instructions but something strange is going one..
1. whats the difference between the standard my.settings and adding a new class that is of settings ? anything ?
2. I made 10 new settings in the setting manager but when I try to change then it gives me the old squiggle line saying no go.

Not too familar with the propertygrid control.But I have two comboboxes that need to be added to it from my.settings. How do i setup both My.Settings and then link it into the propertygrid?
The dropdowns will be named "Location" with 5 values, and the second called Hourly/Salary with 2 values.
This would be part of my larger application where the user selects these values and then logs in.

This question is about VB.NET. I'm quite a novice on this one, so please forgive me if you feel that this question is nothing short of crazy or whatever. Anyway, I've been a creating a simple Windows addressbook Form application. We all know for a fact that a single person can have one or more addresses, of which a one-to-many relationship holds true. So there, my application also has to be able to edit each of these addresses (by the way, my application uses an Access Database, which really sucks but it's part of my task), and I already thought of using a control array (just like in PHP but it obviously never worked in .NET) for me to edit them. How am I supposed to implement this?

I want to place a few buttons on my form. The number is unknown at design time. Actually each button will represent an item entered in combo box. So if user adds an item, a button on the form should be added by the code.

I have added a DataGridViewComboBox to my DataGridView during design time. It has 0 items in it and I need to add a bunch of items to it during runtime.
In most controls, they have some kind of direct method like ".Items.Add("etc")", but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to access the DataGridViewColumn programmatically.
I can create a new ComboBox during runtime and add it to the DataGridView, but that's not what I need to do.
I played around with IntelliSense, I've searched on Google and I've looked through the documentation. The only thing I could find on MSDN was DataGridViewControlCollection, but I didn't see anything that would allow me to directly access that control.

I was writing a program for creation of form to ticket reservation. The form creation and everything is done a runtime. The problem is that i wanted to include a validation process in which the program will check whether user has entered the data(name) before showing select airline list box There are 2 if conditions which i both want to validate and if both the IFs are validated then i want it to show the list box.I dont know how to do that. Below is the code snippet
Private Sub button_selectair(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Me.Controls.Contains(t1) Then
If (t1.Text.Length <= 3) Then
MessageBox.Show("please enter a proper name")

In the helpfiles of Visual Studio 2008 I read control arrays are no longer supported. There is an example for the new situation but then you need to hard code the names of all the controls beforehand.I do not know how many controls I need, could be one or 5000 (think simple image browser). Is it still possible to create something like that or should I change to a different programming language like Phyton? At the moment I work around it by using a browser control and then manipulate the <img> tags but I'm puzzeld as to why this functionality was removed and if there's a solution to the problem.Another thing I don't understand is where the app goes when it's installed with 'Click once'. It dissappears completely, doesn't show up in 'Program Files', can not be found by the search function but it *is* somewhere because you can start it form the Start menu. However, I use data which is in a subfolder of the program folder, which I nor my program can find any more after the app is installed. The program runs but it can't find any place to put/get its data so in the end it doesn't work.
I work around it by *not* installing the program but have people just run it after unpacking the downloaded folder. This works great but I wonder how long this will be the case until Microsoft disables this possibility? I have no idea why they would, but I also have no idea why they did remove the functionality I mentioned above. I already changed to PHP and MySQL because I had to throw away my carefully built W2K+MSAccess image database a few years ago and after installing Vista Visual Studio 2005 was a goner. OK, I upgraded but then no control arrays any more and now they hide the apps when you install them? Why on earth would they do that?

I am trying to be able to add everything within a listbox to a program setting that can be re loaded when its opened up again, I have the part to load them upon opening, but I don't know how to make it add all the items within the listbox to the setting, so it has something to load.
This is to load them on startup:
For Each item As String In My.Settings.logs
log.Items.Add(item.ToString)

I have a basic IDE for a user control i am building. It allows me to add labels to a panel and move them around, like a very basic form designer. When I add the controls to the panel at runtime, I'd like to give the control a unique name string like how the VS IDE tracks the controls it already has and adds an extra number when it creates the default control name. I have tried checking the controls collection each time a new control is added, but wasnt sure if there was a good string comparison method to return a name with a unique number on the end that hasn't been used yet.

i am in runtime mode and have a form open. I do some calculations on it and based on those i generate some lines of VB code (concatenated and saved in a local variable). Is there a VB command that i can use that will take this code and INSERT it into another form?
i could copy the code, exit runtime, go to design mode and paste it into the form myself but because i want to do this for several subs for a lot of forms then it will become very time consuming.

I am very interested to see the answer as I would like to know the significant differences (if any) of generally using one more than the other. In a few days, I will be starting my Java programming class to familiarize myself with the language.I do know that Java uses objects.My question/discussion is not necessarily related to .NET (although in a way, it is); my question is more about what is a better practice and why.Is it more proper to declare buttons and such through runtime rather than designer? Is it just more work typing everything? Or does build and run much faster?

lblPanel.LblScheduledTweet1.whenDate = Date.Today

The goal of this code is to add a control to a panel in runtime. This MUST be done in runtime for the purpose I intend. The problem is that, when I add a second control, the first one disappears.

Any snippet of code for adding groups at run-time to a listview. I am currently listing books (and stats) without groups via the following code which is executed in a loop (one pass per book title).
item = New ListViewItem
item.Text = seq.ToString
item.SubItems.Add(Mid(titlenode.Nodes(N_CSTAT).Text, 3))
item.SubItems.Add(Mid(titlenode.Nodes(N_JSTAT).Text, 3))
item.SubItems.Add(titlenode.Nodes(N_PUBLISHED).Text)
[Code] .....
The listview is set to details view. What I want to do is group the book titles by series. For example, books by Michael Connelly may be grouped by "Harry Bosch", "Jack McEvoy", "Mickey Haller", etc. I can create a new group for each new series by
groupnum += 1
group = New ListViewGroup("group" & groupnum, _
System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Left)
group.Name = "group" & groupnum
group.Header = series
But I cannot find how to add the group to the listview and add the new item to the associated group.

Updating a VB6 prog in VS2005 on Windows 7. The prog has an MDI + child forms and there are a number of content types, with varying numbers of controls being set up and positioned from setup files.On forms which are not child forms I can easily add controls at run time like this:
Dim lab As New Label
With lab
.Left = 0 : .Top = 0
.Width = 800 : .Height = 800
[code]....
This doesn't work on a child form, no label is visible. Can't see any obvious problem in quickwatch.
