I am using mysettings to save user settings.
This config file is saved in this path:
c: Documents and
Settings [Local
Settings] Application
Data\
Is possible to change this path? For example, in my case I save app data in "ProgramData" folder (Vista & W7) and I would like save this config file in the same folder.
Private Sub SaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveButton.Click

Well currently I'm needing to store various settings, strings, integers, items, etc, within the program settings. So far this has gone without a snag and is working as planned except for one thing, Comboboxes. I have browsed through the various types of settings I can save to and the closest is a "System.Collection.Specialized.StringCollection", however VB is throwing up an error saying that:
Quote:
Error1Value of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.ObjectCollection' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection'.C:UsersUserAppDataLocalTemporary ProjectsProjectForm1.vb1234Project
How would I go about saving the items in a Combobox?

When I load the form, Cb1 and Cb2 are connected to a bindingsource.
When I change Cb1, the code (below) changes Cb2 to show only the items according to Cb1
This is working fine.
The problem is when I change Cb1 , change Cb2 and click the save button..... Cb2 seems to be 'lost'...

I've been tortured with this question for few days. As I understood, you could put some of form's properties to mysettings, actually binding them with some named values as strings.It's not very hard, and it was well documented. I tried it and it works fine.Only, not all properties are offered to be bound with mysettings, only some of them. For example, you could bind starting position and windowstate, close your application, and when you open it again, it will open the same window on the same place on the
View 4 RepliesI have a connectionstring in MySettings which all my datasets use. The project has three copies of the same database: LIVE, WHATIF and TEST. I need to have a dialog in my startup that asks the user which db they want to use and then I thought I could amend MySettings.Connection string dynamically. Hey-ho it's read-only! Is there any other approach I can use where I change a connection string once and all my datasets will then point to the selected db?

I have defined a StringCollection in the Project Settings.I want to use the values in a ComboBox.Is there a way to access it xamly?
I tried:
<CollectionViewSource Source="{x:Static src:MySettings.Default.MyCollection}" />
<CollectionViewSource
[code]....
It appears that when you access My.Settings.Default in VB.NET, your thread's CurrentPrincipal changes. Consider the following code.
[Code]...
Is this expected? Is it documented anywhere? I couldn't find any references to it.It also seems to only do this the first time My.MySettings.Default is accessed, which means that a workaround might be to touch the property to initialize it before attempting to set the thread's CurrentPrincipal. Would there be any undesirable side effects to doing that?

1. I have a button, and registry entries, each tell me what version and where it is located.
Example : (reg path = HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTNL)
Path = c:program filesmyprogram
Regan = us
The program its launching is called caw.exe. but it requires diffrent locations in a file named realms.*** file to work properly. Basically if Regan = us, do this, else if regan = eu do that, else if regan = tu do this. I need to basicly erase everything in that file and replace it, the file location is located under :
"PATH"/data/en"Regan"/realmlist.***
The PATH and Regan need to be replaced with correct paths.
2. After it has finished modifying the File it saves it and then Launches
Path/caw.exe
I built my programs in VB 2010 using a temporary dataset on my computer.I am not ready to have them address the dataset on the server, but when I call up the dataset to change the path, the full path is light gray and I can not change it.If I delete the dataset, it will ruin all of the forms that automatically populate from the dataset. Is there an easy way to change the full path of a dataset?
View 9 RepliesI'm working on my first web service and I'm having a blast doing it. I've got a client that talks to the web service installed on a test server. I'm ready to release the code and I realized that when I created the web reference I gave it a path to the web service. I do not want to hardcode this in my program, so I'm looking for a way to dynamically change the path to the web serivce.
What I've done is --
1. Create a web reference to the Web Service:[URL]
2. Built my client using this web reference
3. ... not sure where to go from here.
Basically, I want to stash a value in the app.config file and, on load, use this URL as the web service. Can someone point me in the right direction? There has to be a property I can modify at run time to point it to a some location.

In the below code I load the image to the graphics path using resource image and adding text on it. When I add the image through open file dialog it paints on the form with original size but I need to resize it, add it to the PictureBox, add text to it and give zoom and pan options to it and then I need to save with the original size.
When I resize and when save the image I endi up with a small image.

Im wondering why this doesn't work: It sets initialdirectory to directorypath and doesn't traverse into save folder. I've tried it all. Anyone have any ideas of how to get it to work? [Code]
