I am making an application for my school library, which lets the user see how many books have been borrowed, how many returned, and how many that have not been returned. I am using My.Settings to do this. I have no problem saving the settings, or making them change according to how many books have been returned or borrowed, but when I try to load them into a few labels, I get an error.
[code]...
This is the error I obtain:Conversion from string "Books borrowed so far: " to type 'Double' is not valid.
Ok, it's basically all in the description, but I need to make it so there is not a limited amount of bookmarks. I cannot use My.Settings because when i try to select 'My Project' in the Solution explorer, it doesn't work
if we say i have a program and i want it to launch another .exe So the code of them being able to choose where it's located is "openfiledialog".But can i make it save the setting somehow, so it makes a small document/text-file thingy so it can read the locations from the file ?Or is there someway that the program remembers it ? I want it to ask for a file location first, and then next time pushing the button "start" it remembers the location ?
I'm using My.Settings to store some text information which will be displayed to the user under certain conditions. What I'd like to know is whether part of the text (not all of it) can be formatted in bold?
The reason I'm storing in My.Settings is because it can be customized but not to the extent where I need to store it in a database. And while I'm at it, is it possible to format parts of MessageBox text and labels in bold, or is this an all or not at all situation i.e. changing the font property?
I recently made an application which have some settings one of them a saving path

I 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.
I am working on making a bookmarks and history interface for my web browser so basicall for the bookmarks the code is

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.
I 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..
I am trying to change the way my aspx pages load when I double-click on them in my development environment. I wish for the markup to show instead of the design. So, I go into "Tools" -> "Options" -> "HTML Designer" and make my changes. However, I have to do this every time I get into VS. How do I make those changes stick?
I've designed a project containing of some forms. The problem is that it doesn't display correctly on wide monitors. I've searched for it and found out that it works correctly for dpi= 96. I wanna change dpi via registry in vb.net (not manually)Here is the code I use:
Dim dpi As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics If (dpi.DpiX <> 96 And dpi.DpiY <> 96) Then Dim DPISetting As RegistryKey =
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??
I 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.
Is it possible to use VBScript to modify the ODBC information in the registry to point to the new server? Basically changing one specific value for one specific key. Am I better off deleteing the ODBC key and readding it from scratch?
I need to change my application settings to use roaming profiles. Therefore I changed the roaming property of the according settings to True. Unfortunately I get now the behavior that the settings are still read from the local store (if they are existing there), but are written correctly to the roaming store.
What's the suggested way to change application settings from local to roaming?
I am making an application that prints records and I want to set the paper height dynamically. My problem is how to change the settings of the printer programmatically in VB.Net.
Somebody told me that it could be done by going to Device and Printers, select the printer and setting it with the desired height. However, can I do this programmatically?
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 have created a Outlook 2007 AddIn project with a Setup project.The settings for a databae connection are in the registry.Now I want to create a config file outside the msi so the settings for the database connection can be changed before the addin is installed.It is no problem if the settings stay in the config file instead of the registry.I have googled around but found no solution yet.
