Using My.Settings During Design Mode?
Oct 19, 2011why when I use My.Settings to Add items during design mode, they do not show up during run mode?
This is for a custom control.
I'm missing something between the control that exists on a Form during design-mode and the (apparently new) control that's created during run mode.
I can add items in design mode using the Application Settings editor (right-click on custom control, select Properties then Settings). But when I use code in a smart panel during design-mode along with My.Settings.MyProperty.Add() to add additional items, the new items show-up in design mode but revert back to the old set during run-mode.
Override The Design Time Connection Settings Of Crystal Reports
Nov 5, 2009I�m converting some Crystal reporting functions from VB 6.0 to VB .Net 2008, have reports up and running, and I�m not quite sure how to approach one aspect. The issue I have is most of the Crystal reports connect to a database and run a stored procedure. The connection properties are set up in the report usually pointing at the development region. At run time I need to be pointing to either development, user acceptance, or production. I know what environment I�m in from a configuration file but don�t know how to go about telling Crystal what environment and stored procedure to point at. In VB 6.0 it was:
CR1.Connect = "DSN=" & A.ReportServer & ";<<Use Integrated Security>>;DSQ=" & A.ReportManhattanDB
Where A.ReportServer and A.ReportManhattanDB contain the connection poperties. The stored procedure is passed via:

Forms :: Sharing Settings XML Document Between Forms?
Dec 26, 2009I have an application built that has several forms. I use an XML file to store settings data (mainly folder names for data output) and I need each form to be able to access and modify the data. I'd also like each form to access functions from a main form (such as file parsing functions). I have read articles about properties and inheritance but I need some guidance as this topic is pretty confusing.

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Checking Forms Design?
Aug 3, 2009I'm very green with VB Express 2008 and am going through the tutorial. I'm skipping over a lot of the exercises as some of it is review for me - I've a fairly solid background in MS Access VBA and forms design there. But I have a simple question on VB Express forms design (I'm not worried about data handling or anything yet).How do I test a form? In my first form on my project, I just press F5 (Start debugging) and it opens just fine. However, I'm playing around with a second form in design mode and can't seem to get it to open to test some of the code (simple msgboxes associated with buttons).
In Access 2003 and earlier, there was a design mode and form view. The Access design mode was the equivalent of the design tab in the VB project, but I can't seem to find the equivalent of the Access form view in VB so that I can open that form. VB F5 only seems to open the first form.BTW, is VS 2008 the correct tag/prefix for this question on VB Express 2008? I see there's a separate tag list - is there an approved list of tags aside from the prefix before the title in the posting screen?

Forms :: Implement A Classic Layout Design In .net (2.0)?
Nov 14, 2010how to implement a classic layout design in vb.net (2.0).The application design is the classical toolbar panel at the top and different panels stacked at the bottom. Depending on the button pressed at the top in the toolbar panel a different panel at the bottom will be available.This is thought to have different part of the software available on different panel but with the toolbar panel always available at the top.To implement this I thought:
1) one tablelayout with 2 rows. First row contain a panel with the button (toolbar panel) and adding/removing hte correct panel requested on the bottom row.

View 8 RepliesForms :: Looping Through Controls - Design Can't Be In Separate Panels
Oct 21, 2009I am familer with looping thru controls like so:
[Code]....
Next I have some labels on another form, that due to the design can't be in seperate panels. They are (lblChipColor1 - 6) and (lblChipValue1 - 7). I am trying to populate the color ones from the Array above. I can obviously loop thru the array, but I can't find a decent way to loop thru just the lblChipColorx lables ignoring the lblChipValue1x labels. It would be easy if they were on seperate panels. I tried adding the labels names to an array of type string and of type label, but got nowhere with that. Is there another way to group them, or build const array of label names, that I can work with?

View 2 RepliesVS 2010 - Advantage To Do Everything Programatically Instead Of Using Design View To Create Forms
Oct 19, 2011I was wondering if there is any advantage to do everything programmatically instead of using design view to create forms, controls etc. Would there be any difference in size and/or performance after you compile it? So far I've been doing pretty much everything programmatically, specifying all the properties that aren't default for my forms controls but I am starting to wonder is there are any advantages to this, apart from making it easier (sometime) to manage and change the behavior of my controls.

Forms :: My.settings Save Only Font Name Not Size?
Nov 20, 2010I have a question how can I save in My.Settings only the font name and not the size.I have a form where I can change the font for a label on another form. This works perfect.I can even save it in my.settings.
The thing is though, that on that other form I have 2 labels, thet should have the same font name, but the size should be different. (label1 has font size = 40 (can be changed) and label2 should have a fixed font size (should not be changed)).I tried to use label2.font.size = "14", but font.size is readonly.
Forms :: Use Process.start Based On Settings File?
May 14, 2010My first post! im quite new to programming but loving every minute of it.Basically i want to open another exe file from vb.net 2010. i can do it normally using
system.Diagnostics.Process.Start _ ("c:winamp.exe") if winamp for example is installed on another pc in another location i want to run it from my program but i want there to be sort of like a settings.txt file where you can edit the path to winamp and my program should first read the path set in the settings file and then open accordingly. how do i go about doing this?
btw it would be great if you could point me in the right direction for making a windows form where one can edit the settings file within my program without editing the settings file in notepad

wierd thing is that when i run the app, the controls are placed properly, but design time is totally f&*ked up.I know this one isn't me. is it the tab control? should i just do toggle buttons at the top and show/hide my own panels? this is just too freaky to deal with. is there an easy work around for this?

View 1 RepliesMy.Settings.Upgrade Stopped Preserving Settings After Visual Studio And Framework Were Upgraded?
Jan 13, 2011The 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.
