What would be the best way to save configuration of a program? for example lets say you have a checkbox and does whatever and you check it and start the program and it should be check or unchecked depending on the setting used.
View 1 RepliesI'm saving a bitmap as a jpeg using: savedImage.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) which is resulting in a JPEG with a 96dpi x 96dpi resolution and a 24-bit color depth. Is there a way in VB .NET 1.1 to change this to say a 72 x 72 dpi resolution and a 16-bit color depth?

View 2 RepliesI currently use a Configuration.xml file to store the various preferences and settings of my application. I'd like to continue using this but allow my different users to "load" individual XML files...
To do this, I imagine I can the My.Settings to identify the location of the appropriate file. Reading the docs, it seems that I need to use the .Save method after making any changes to my settings but I'm observing that changes are persisting, regardless of not doing this... what am I doing "wrong"?
I have a VB project which I'm trying to configure with three build configurations.I've successfully created the build configurations, but I decided the names I was using weren't descriptive enough so I went to Configuration Manager -> <Edit...> -> Rename and renamed them.
This renamed the configurations in the Configuration Manager.I then went to do some conditional compilation testing using #If CONFIG = but it failed.Checking deeper, it turns out that the values returned by CONFIG are the original names not the new names.Checking My Project -> Compile -> Configuration I can see that the names shown in that ComboBox are also the old names.
So, even though I have "renamed" my configurations in Configuration Manager, they're not being renamed on all levels.I can get around this by recreating these configurations with their intended names but that's about as bass ackwards a solution as I can think of. Is there some method of renaming configurations that actually works or is this just the way MS intended this to."work"?
(I used to use VB6.) I have been developing a database management program which is quite simple so far, with navigational controls, ability to delete record, datagrid, etc.
It uses databound textboxes, but when I modify the content of them it does not update the database. Same applies when I add a new record and fill in the textboxes.
I have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003
Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers
003 returns Bulbasaur
Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file
etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI?
-Databases would load internally?
-I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?
I want to know the code used to ADD, SAVE AND DELETE records in VB 2010. eg. I have a fully created DataSet, etc and I have three Buttons.. So to add a new record what code do I put in, same for the other two ( Save, Delete)
I know the code for VB6: Adodc1.Recordset.addnew ......
I have a datagrid bound to a datatable. The datatable will then be written to an xml file using the built in "WriteXML" function, which is sweet!
What I would like to do is update the table then overrite the existing XMl file when a cell value changes.
The problem is the "CellValueChanged" event is fired before changes are actually committed to the dataset. I do not want to use the "CellValidated" event because it will fire for each row when the file is forst loaded into the dataset and displayed in the datagrid.
Im using visual studio 2008. I have a form, inside are textbox and button. as i press the button,the text in the textbox will be save in MS Access 2003 or visual studio database. How to connect to the form to the existing access or visual studio database? how to save to the existing access or visual studio database?
View 2 RepliesI am quite new to visual basic and databases. Im connecting to the database using the dataset wizard in visualbasic 2008. And then dragging each text field on to the form. Everything works well, saves etc., updates ok. Until I have a multiline text box , when I try and save, Iget errors highlighting the table update code and get an error saying it cant be converted to a string. I have changed all the max text limit on the database so its not that. It works ok if I set the textbox back to a single line mode. Does these databases support multiline textboxes?
View 1 RepliesI have a main form (Form 1) with a menu strip and navigation bar. I use the main form to launch other forms (Form 2) as children of the main form.
All of the children forms contain SQL data sets /grids. I would like (if possible) to use the save button on the main form, to save data changes of the children form to the SQL database.
I'm working on a simple "sports management" game just to test out whether I could make an actual one some time in the future, but for the life of me I haven't been able to figure out how to save the contents of the datagridview. I want it to be saved in a format that doesn't require the user to have Access or any other program, so that the only thing users need are the .exe and the database file. Another question about the datagridview: How do I access the content on specific rows and columns of the datagridview? If I want TextBox1.Text to be whatever is written on Row 4, Column 2, how do I access that information?

View 6 RepliesI'm creating a program and i want it to secretly save when the user clicks on save.
In other words, i have made it so that it saves twice. Once for the user to read (like a fancy copy) and another that the program uses to open up the form.
Currently when pushed, 2 save dialog boxes come up after each other. I don't want this to happen. I want 1 to come up (the user friendly, fancy version) which is the easy part, but i also want the other 1 to save automatically and secretly without asking the user to set the destination.

1. Is it wise to do so? I think a sql database is a lot easier to manage.
2. Can I save or convert the excel file as one data in a table? How could I do it? I only see a image type for data type. Surely I expect to retrieve the excel file through ASP.Net website if necessary.oh, some additional info, every excel file is not big, but it contains pictures inside sometimes.

I need to switch a program from debug to release and ofcourse in the help it states:
"On the Standard toolbar, click Debug or Release from the Solution Configurations list box."
Only it isn't on the standard toolbar anymore nor is it under the add remove buttons pulldown menu.
It was there when I installed VS 2005 Beta and I didn't remove it but it seems to have disappeared on it's own and I can't see where to get it back and under the projects property window it isn't available and no where in help does it say how to get the listbox back to selct Debug or Release?

Here is a picture of my program running: How do I stop everything being deleted when things pass it...? how can i add a save feature to this program?
I've been programming for quite a while now and started learning about databases and decided to make a program with a database with it. I made a normal log-in system, but then I don't know how to add information into the database or take out.For Ex:Create account button:
- Creates a new string in the 'Accounts' table
- Then the user can login with that information
The main idea is, I want to be able to insert and delete data from a windows form (the log-in system). And check to see the information, like when users login. Please help, I've tried so many things and don't know how to do what I want with Microsoft SQL.
I am currently using vb 2008 and want it so when a user registers it will unlock all the extra features and stay that way even after the user quits and restarts the program... I already have everything set exept for the save feature. I don;t know exactly what to do. I just want to save the settings of my program so that they are the same every time somebody uses the program. I heard that you need to go into Project , then properties and then settings... But I don't understand what to do there...
