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.
Change Application Settings?
May 23, 2010To 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.

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.

Change User Settings In ClickOnce Deployment?
Apr 27, 2010I have a program, written in VB 2008, that I deplpoy in Terminal server, that has some user settings (scope: user) that I'd like to modify locally. By default the user settings were not even installed locally. I think they are supposed to appear in the ClickOnce data directory. Using the following thread, I was able to get the user.settings installed locally:
[URL]
basically, i set my xml file as "Content" and I set the publish status as "Data File".
With this, my settings file appears in:
"C:Documents and SettingsusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataCompanyXYZProgramNameL.exe_Url_arzmal0maveh1nnwfib245pfk13xqfma1.0.0.0user.settings"
The problem is that modifying this file doesn't affect the application. I changed some settings, restarted the app, and changes were ignored.
