How do I Change the Action Center Settings. I have already a function that will change the windows updates to never check for updates. Once I turn it off an Action Center Message pops up. This message can be turned off via Windows. The same process I am trying to implement using VB.NET.

I populate a hash table with the name of a control as the key and the control itself as the value using the following code that loops through my code on start-up:
Private Sub Populate_Hash_Table()
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls

[Code]....
This method works effectively, but the only problem is I seem to get a preformance hit as it takes a second to set the current control to false and the new one's visibility to true. What way should I modify my code so that it works more efficiently?

View 2 RepliesI 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.

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.
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.
View 1 RepliesI wanted to know is it posible to change My.Settings location.. for example, not in user folder (dont remember in witch folder, but i know it was in some users folder..), but save in application folder?Cos i write programs portable, so they work if the folder with my program is moved even to different PC..It would be a great if i could use my.settings and store in the application path..Cos i have tried to save in registry, xml file, ini file, and they all are pain in the a*s..

How can I make a vb application which will cause IE to use a proxy server (localhost 8888) when the main form loads and undo this change when the main form is closed??
View 2 RepliesI 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.
We have a VBScript that launches an Access app that connects via ODBC to SQL Server - wouldn't you know the server name is changing.
