How To Reference Resources To Save In Settings - Visual Basic 2008 .net
May 24, 2012
I'm trying to save a setting that keeps what background image I'm currently using.If it's an external file, there is no problem, i can just get the .location and set it in a String setting to store it.
But, if I want to store an image resource as a setting, how do i do it?I know i can store rawdata, like bitmap information, but then i can't set that type of data to the my.background.
I don't know if the question should be: "how do i reference resources", but the my.resources.resource.methodsList doesnt contain anything that seems to be of use.
trying to save the settings in a settings form but every time m setting the settings (when the form is running) then exiting it and then reopening itare the settings that i setted not there Ex : I open form2 by clicking on a button thought form1 and change the settings for example i uncheck a checkbox then do i close form2 and then open it again. And the settings should be saved so the unchecked checkbox should still be unchecked.BUT when i close form1 should the settings be unsaved and go back to normal :)

I have an issue with creating a VB program. I reference files on my computer that are displayed in a webbrowser in the program. The issue comes when I install the program on another computer because of the file path. The program is looking for the files on the computer I created the program on because of the file path, instead of looking for the files within the program resource files.
For example, I created the program on Computer A and referenced File "C:ComputerAMy DocumentsHelp.txt"
Once installed on Computer B, the program doesnt display the image because it's looking for "Computer A" in the file path.How do I correct my programming so that the files are universial and can be found on any computer the program is installed on?
