ClickOnce Overwrites User Settings Settings .NET 2008 Cant Use Registry UAC Causes Error
Aug 5, 2009I am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..

Connection Error When Using Project Settings
Feb 25, 2009I get this error
Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 34.
When I take my connection string and store it in the project settings. I know that this works.
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Application.StartupPath & "\Employees.accdb
Because if I use it like this
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Application.StartupPath & "\Employees.accdb")
conn.Open()
The connection succeeds but if I try this
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection(My.Settings.Default.employeeConnection)
conn.Open()
I get that error.
name:employeeConnection
type:string
scope:application
value:Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Application.StartupPath & "\Employees.accdb
Reference To A Non-shared Member Settings Error
Aug 31, 2010I have added a settings file to a project but whenever I reference one of the setting variables I get the following error:
Error 2 Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference. C:DevelopmentPhoenixAppProcessCreditCardProcessing.vb 67 77 Process
I had to manually add this in a merge conflict and the settings code worked fine in the originating branch. The generated code also seems to be identical from what I can see.
I am accessing the settings using My.Settings.{VarName}
edit: Just tried deleting the settings files. This still happens once the file has been re-generated from the app.config values.
VS 2008 Error Catching With Registry Settings
Nov 4, 2009I'm editing some settings in the registry and then adding items to a ListView.
[Code]...
If I'm not mistaken, the code will not continue in the Try block if the first part fails and then move on to the catch statement, correct? I'm adding and deleting a bunch of different entries in the registry and the computers I've tried my app on so far, have not failed. So I'm not able to test if this method will work for error catching. If there's a better method, I'd appreciate the info.

View 6 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.

Application.Settings VB 2005 - Save Arrays Using The Settings System Object
Jan 14, 2009I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.

VS 2008 Settings Are Read From App.config Instead Of Settings-file
Oct 30, 2009I have created a settings-file for my plug-in-based app. When the mainApp writes the settings to the file, the pluginApp should read the settings from the settings-file (when opening or at runtime even better), but somehow it reads the settings from the app.config-file. This means that the pluginApp never will read the settings according the values of the file.

Store Three Items In My.Settings / Where Are My.Settings?
Jun 28, 2010I store three items in My.Settings. One is a serialized string, and the other two are GUIDs. When the main form starts, those three items are loaded into various places. On rare, and so far unpredictable, occasions, one of these GUIDs is notably absent. The others may or may not be, I have yet to be able to check. Since it happens so infrequently (twice this month, though I have been working on the code every day), I'm having a very hard time tracking down the problem. However, it got me wondering where these values are stored. I see one of them showing up in App.Config, though without a value. Is there a place I can see the others?
