Reset My.Settings At Run Time To Initial Default Values?
Jul 12, 2009
How do I reset My.Settings at run time to the initial default values. I want to do this after the app has been running and the user may have save changed settings. The intention is to reset evering to 'factory defaults' as opposed to the last saved value as done by 'settings.reload'.For example in the property below , I want to restore to the value to '90' as given in the default value. I want to do this for all settings.[code]...

A Windows service written in VB.NET is using the My.Settings namespace for simplicity. There are only three settings to read, and these are read within the constructor of the ServiceLauncher.
I am attempting to install the service as such:
installutil GID.ServiceLauncher.exe
And this is successful, however the config settings it is using are not the ones within the GID.ServiceLauncher.exe.config file, instead it is using the ones baked into the app as Default Settings within Settings.Designer.vb (marked with DefaultSettingValueAttribute). [The questionable wisdom of Microsoft not allowing a developer to ignore default settings is another question entirely].
How can I further diagnose this issue, and maybe force a reload of settings? I tried calling My.Settings.Default.Reload, however this did nothing. All settings are application settings, and only differ by "value" from those in the auto generated file.
I have successfully attached the debugger using System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() and true enough, the settings are still the default settings.
In anticipation of the question, the background: The reason for requiring configuration settings is because this is a very straightforward service that simply executes an exe; and this exe is in configurable location. There are other reasons also, such as I wish to have the service name configurable without recompiling.

how I can set the initial settings that will be deployed with an installation CD to my clients. I found out how the .config file is stored on my own computer when adding Userscope-settings in my project. I also read that the my.settings are also stored in app.config from where it is read when program runs first time on my clients computer and these are then stored in user.config file. Is that right?
Q: If I make an installation disk and want to have my program to have specific settings on my clients computer when he installs it does these settings follow the settings I have on my computer when I make the Installation file or can I manage these settings some way?

While writing an app that uses a couple settings, they occasionally get re-set to empty. I haven't seen any pattern to this, but I do have a vague memory that there are certain circumstances that will reset the settings in a project under development. What are the circumstances that cause the settings to be reset?

I have a repeater which displays products. Users can select a Size - dropdownlist and an Amount - textbox. Then they press Order or Cancel. When they press Cancel I would like the values of Size and Amount to return to their default values.
Protected Sub lbtnCancel_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lbtnCancel.Click
rpt.ProductList is the repeater name
lblFeedback.Text = ("")
lblFeedback.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Black
End Sub
I am using VB.NET.

I am trying to reset all integer values to "0" with a reset button.I try not to use hardcoding by simply set them one by one. So my idea was checking all the variable's type and set them all to "0".
I tried to use this methode, from someone in this forum (sorry, I forgot the name but this is very helpful...) For Each ctrl As Control In Me.GroupBox4.Controls 'Check and see if this control is a TextBox
If Object.ReferenceEquals(ctrl.GetType(), GetType(Label)) Then 'Check and make sure this s the "TextBoxToExclude"
'CType(ctrl, CheckBox).Checked = False
CType(ctrl, Label).BackColor = InactiveColor
End If
Next
But when I tried to find the code, I couldn't get it.So, if anyone knows how to do this,

Windows resets the IDLE time every time the user touches the keyboard or the mouse. My application needs to reset the IDLE time at specific moments, but how to do this programmatically.
The following does NOT reset the IDLE time using VB, C# or QT4.
- Programmatic mouse movement / click.
- Programmatic keystroke.
Somehow Windows knows these actions are simulated. How can I reset the IDLE time?

i have a textbox with hexadecimal values and i would like to use the slidebar/scrollbar to change the values (increase/decrease) then save the final values to a text file. To prevent the program from writing to many times to the file, i decided to use a timer. As long as the user still making changes or controlling the slide/scroll bar the timer will re-load (5 seconds). When the user is done modifying (no more dragging or clicking on the arrows) at that time the timer already expired, then the value get recorded to the text file.

I have a small dataset which has most of its schema defined at design time, but I add a few columns to one of its tables at runtime. My problem is how do I reset those changes? he dataset is not linked to any datasource. It just has its own table which I "manually" populate. The static columns have been added to the datatable at design time. However, I add a few columns as runtime based on a list of categories. Like this:
[Code]....
The dataset is used in a small dialog that pops up within my application. I add the dynamic columns when the dialog is opened by using the Load event. Everything works great the first time. But if you close the dialog and reopen it, there are problems. My startup routine tries adding the dynamic columns again, but an error is thrown saying the column already exists. I have tried a lot of things and did some reading but I can't figure out a way to reset the dataset when the dialog is closed. The only solution is to close the whole application and reopen it. I have tried the following in the Leave event of the dialog form:

Here is my case:I have a richtextbox called Rtb1 I have the text property for this control set to "ThreadAmountEdit=[Thread Amount]" This was set through the RichTextBox Tasks function, by clicking the control and selecting the little arrow in the top right corner. In working on my form, I edit the text "[Thread Amount]" of the rich text box to "45". What I need is to be able to reset Rtb1 back to default ("ThreadAmountEdit=[Thread Amount]")on button click.
I've tried: Rtb1.Refresh() which doesn't appear to do anything I've also tried Rtb1.ResetText() which completely clears the textbox.

I am practicing on how to print from vb.net (2008) i was able to print my text, however I am having hard time changing default page settings.When the script loads up it thinks my default printer is my 8x11 printer and adjusts the label for that. however I am using a small label printer and labels are very small like 1x2inch. After I hit print button I can get the printer dialog box up change the prinet however because margins are wrong, my print out is unaligned. I like to change my default printer at form load step.
