Change App Settings Between Two Projects?

Oct 17, 2009

Is it possible to change application settings between two projects?

Here's what I'm trying to do- let me know if there's a better way, though:

I have two projects involved, a UI layer and a data access layer. I can modify the connection string at runtime in the UI, but I want to be able to set the connection string on the data access layer the same way. Right now I'm trying to use application settings but I don't know how to access settings from one project in another.

.net - Referencing My.Settings Across Projects?

Apr 19, 2011

I've been poking around in some projects written by one of our contractors, and he seems to be storing a lot of settings in the main "app.config" file for the application, using, for example:

<add key="SomeClass/SomeValue" value="False"/>
And then referencing the key value in the "SomeClass" class in "SomeProjectLibrary" using
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("SomeClass/SomeValue")

While this works, I guess, it also pretty much sucks. I was wondering if anyone knew of some more elegant way of creating variables in the "app.config" file, which could then be used across various applications within a Solution?

VS 2010 Settings - Projects - Message - "Project Name" Could Not Be Opened

Feb 26, 2011

When I open Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express, the following message comes up:

Quote: Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express. The automatically saved settings file 'visual studio 2010settingsvb expressCurrentSettings.vssettings' cannot be found. You can change this file on the 'Import and Export Settings' Tools Options page. The IDE will use your most recent settings for this session.

I click the 'OK' button, and the Start Page loads with the "Recent Projects" list on the left.

When I click on any of the projects to open them, another message comes up saying:

Quote: Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express. "Project Name" could not be opened. Do you want to remove the reference(s) to it from the Recent list(s)?

I read about a potential solution going to "%programfiles%Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7IDE" but I'm not sure how to proceed. Does anyone know why this problem is occuring? Did I truly lose all my projects?

Change The Proxy Settings("Automatically Detect Settings") In IE

Jan 17, 2011

I was wondering if it is possible to change the Proxy settings("Automatically Detect Settings") in IE without making the change to the registry. I wasn't sure if the Hive is similar in all operating systems, So I figured there has to be an API to make the change, also without having the restart the IE or the computer for that matter.

Change Application Settings?

May 23, 2010

To start with, I know that applications scope settings are read only, and user scope settings are read/write. My problem is this: I am creating an application which will be used in a setting where an "administrative" user (admin in this case does not denote any computer ability whatsoever- just the one in control of the computer) will be installing my application onto a computer where several users will likely use the application. I have a number of program settings which I would like the administrative user to be able to set, and have those settings be used for all users who run the program.

Change Proxy Settings While Using Watin?

Apr 13, 2010

I am using Watin mostly to automate thing I do by hand. Sometimes, I need to change proxy. To do this, I have to set up IE to use a local proxy all the time (listens locally and forwards to a remote porxy), and then by hand change the settings of that program each time I need to use another proxy.

This is not an elegant solution! It may work, but it is not nice.

So, my question is, how do I change programmatically IE settings while using Watin? I code in VB.NET.
