I want to hear some discussion regarding what is the best way to persist program parameter and variable settings from one run of the program to the next. I used to often use the ubiquitous INI type file in VB6 programs but I am aware that these are not formally supported in .Net programs. I also have a major aversion to adding to the already overwhelming bloat of the Windows registry by using that to store values.

I am currently using vb 2008 and want it so when a user registers it will unlock all the extra features and stay that way even after the user quits and restarts the program... I already have everything set exept for the save feature. I don;t know exactly what to do. I just want to save the settings of my program so that they are the same every time somebody uses the program. I heard that you need to go into Project , then properties and then settings... But I don't understand what to do there...

View 2 RepliesI have 2 Forms: (1. MainForm.vb and 2.Settings.vb). MainForm.vb is the Startup form and Settings.vb shows when the MainForm.vb loads. Settings.vb has a CheckBox that allows the user to check if they never want to see the form (Settings.vb) at startup again. When I check it and close the program, then restart the program the checkbox is unchecked. How do I get the program to remember the user selection of the checkbox?

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?
How do you make a program remember settings. For example, first it prompts you for your name, then when you close out of it and start it again, it will display your name?

I coded a small application in VB Express 2010 and I wish any one could provide for me some code on how to save personal settings from an options form so that the end user don't have to keep making their personal choices every time that start my application that I created.
Personally I don't have a clue on how to accomplish this feature with in VB Express 2010.
I used check boxes and radio buttons in the options section on a form for the end users choices.
I have created a bunch of user settings using my.settings.*** and only save these upon form_closing for the time being.I wanted to save the settings every 30 or so seconds, so I created a timer with 30 second tick intervals. Inside the tick event of that timer I included the code that I had in the form_closing event.While it works to save the settings, it also 'freezes' or 'skips' the main program for about a second or 2 while it's saving. The code to save settings includes looping through at least 2 arrays and adding them to the settings specialcollection object one item at a time.Is there a better way to accomplish this, without 'locking' up the main form for a second or so? Is it feasible to loop through all the settings in a different thread (can you access settings cross-thread)?
View 1 RepliesI am using a check box tied to a program settings. When I am in form designer my check box property is "unchecked", however, when I debug my program the checkbox is checked.
My value for my settings is set to false and my property setting is also false.
Right, first of all I want to apologize for how bad this is going to sound but please bear with me.I have a folder named x, inside folder x there are numerous folders named 1,2,3 etc etc, inside these folders, there is either another folder named y with 20+ jpegs inside of it, or 20+ jpegs inside of the folder named 1,2,3 etc.
What I want to do, is navigate through the folders until i hit where the jpeg files are, select all the jpegs in the folder, and print them to my CutePDF Printer, and create a PDF with the name of the folder it is in.
[Code]...
As you can see, I've checked to make sure the path is correct and exists. If it does, i create an Array of all the folders inside of Folder X, and then get the number of files inside of the folder.After this I am stuck. What I believe I need to do, is open the first file in the array, and check to see whether the file inside is a folder, if it is, i need to open this folder, if it's not I want to select all the files and print them.Do you guys first of all understand what I want to do, and if so, do you believe it is possible to do this?

Account: Account name E-Mail: E-Mail used Password: Password used
Account name, Password, E-Mail will will all be in a textbox or combobox so if you can make it save from there. I have an total accounts created combobox. How would I make that load into a combobox and then when session is closed they all save. So loaded into a combobox then saved into a text file.

View 4 RepliesI'm wanting to store some settings for my program in an XML document. I've found plenty of places that allow you to write an XML document to somewhere on the hard drive although I'm wanting to link it in with the project so when the program installs it setups up the XML as well. This is also so when the program uninstalls it removes the XML.So I was wondering how I would go about writing to the XML document in my project, could it be done with Linq?
