I have a setting labeled "Names" and in the program I can create a new "Names" value, which works fine. But, I want to be able to automatically save to this new "Names" and retrieve information from the value without having to close the program and reopen it in order to have the new setting saved. Is there a way to do this? I tried using the Me.Refresh() command, but it didn't do the trick.
View 2 RepliesI have a application that requires access to a tablet, the tablet in order for it transfer data accurately needs to be calibrated from time to time. Users have expressed intrest that once calibration has been done and has been validated to be correct that
those new settings be ready for use in the main application. However, the only way I have been able to do this is to physically re-start the application. I have not had any luck with My.Settings.reload(). The settings I can confirm have changed but the application after saving them and calling the reload do not reload them. Am I doing something wrong? Does reload only work under certain conditions?
I am implementing a mechanism to detect a corrupt user.config file in vb at application startup.

I am am having some problems with using My.Settings. I have saved some strings with My.Settings.Save() and am trying to set the strings back to its default value. I have tried using My.Settings.Reload() but it does not do anything. What is the best way to set the strings back to its default value that I have set it to? I have looked around for this question but could not understand what to do to fix the problem. I have gone to msdn.microsoft.com but could not find any good information, only this[URL]..

I have to drive files using different settings from the printer driver. Can I change the preferences & settings of the driver from a VB application? Right now I am using a VBScript, using key presses, to drive the files. I am developing an application using VB.net. I want to get away from the key stroke method. It takes to long to drive all of the files at the different printer driver settings.

This is regarding a windows app in Visual Studio 2005, a VB Windows application.'ve stored a connection string called strSQLConn in My.Settings. I'm trying to change the Server in code. I set a string variable called strConn to a new Connection string. My.Settings.Profile2006sql = strConn
This produces an error saying that My.Settings is readonly. I'm missing something basic here.
I don't know if this is the best way to change a connection string to toggle between a development server and a production server. My understanding is that if the setting Connection string is changed it will be used as the default for all the table adapters in a strongly typed dataset. Is that the case?
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.
View 3 RepliesI am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..

View 3 Repliesi have created a user setting named 'setmeup' as string, scope = user, value = "magical meow meow!".in my code i access it and assign it a new value like this...my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!"my.settings.save()application.restart()when the application restarts, i expect the my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" but when i check its contents its still "magical meow meow!".but when i use application.exit() instead of application.restart() and manually restart the program, my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" which is correct.what must i do? i want to use application.restart() because i don't want the users to double-click the icon again to start the program. i want the program to restart automatically.
View 2 Replies1. I can't find the file which reflects changes to user settings. This might be because I just can't find it (I can see a bunch of user.config files but they are all empty - weird!), or...

Regarding 2. - do I need to invoke
Is this all I need? And if so, why are my user.configs empty?

I need to call again my gameplay form after finishing 1 stage. I'm just doing the normal calling. Me.Close() then Object.Show(). (Object is the object of gameplay form). The problem is, there is a continous loop of the form its flashing. It's like it's showing then closing again ang again non stop. What should I do? Or is there another way of calling again my gameplay form?

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.
I have created a settings-file for my plug-in-based app. When the mainApp writes the settings to the file, the pluginApp should read the settings from the settings-file (when opening or at runtime even better), but somehow it reads the settings from the app.config-file. This means that the pluginApp never will read the settings according the values of the file.

View 2 RepliesIn my ASP.NET page I have a thread that runs for a while (sometimes up to 2 mins). How could I reload/ redirect the page after the thread is done? I know I can't use Response.Redirect() because the page is already done loading.
View 1 RepliesI have a session variable that changes some things about how a page looks. I have a button that changes the value of this session variable. But ... the onClick event happens after page load, so by the time I update the session variable based on the button click, it's too late, the page has already been loaded.
Theoretically I could put all the logic about changing the display into a function and call it from page load, and then call it again from the onclick after the variable as been updated. But this is impractical: there are many user controls that check the value, used on many different pages in different combinations. I would have to hard-code the list of user controls on each page, and if someone added a new user control to a particular page, they'd have to remember to update this function, which is lame.
Is there a way to force a page reload? (I can use response.redirect back to myself and it works. If all else fails I guess this is what I'll do. But it means an extra round trip to the server, which is clumsy.)
Is there a way to process the onclick before the page load?
