View 4 RepliesFile I/O And Registry :: Use Of External File?
Dec 16, 2008I have a .net program that you open, enter a bunch of information to control equipment,ovens, etc. After the user enters all of the information for the equipment/test, they run the test, data is taken, and they close the .net application.However, if they want to run this same test again, I don't want them to re-enter everything b/c it would be quite tedious. Instead, I would like to have a file > export and file > import option. I am going to import/export from excel.
I have set up a blank template in excel that has a lot of formatting and descriptions. My question is, where do I put this template file and how do I reference it? For example, do I save it in the project's inRelease folder? Then when the user goes to file > export, how do I refernce it as being in the inRelease folder? After making an installer package where does the template file get placed on the install if its in the inRelease folder?

View 1 RepliesHow To Put Application Settings In An External App.config File Using V
Mar 10, 2009I have been searching and posting regarding this problem and have found nothing to aid me. Discussion is either on web.config files or deal only with external files for connection strings or earlier versions of vb.net not 2008.I have already successfully put connection strings into an external config file, but trying the same approach with application settings has failed.There are two sections of the app.config involved with application settings.
1. the configuration and config sections at the top of the config. file where the section group and the section name are described.
2. the actually data for the application settings by section group section name which appears in the body of the configuraton section of the app.config.[code]
Read 2 Connection Strings From External File?
Sep 9, 2011I have a situation where I have a vb.net program that uses two connection strings. This program will be used on multiple web servers on multiple domains and the only difference for any of them is the two connection strings.What would be the best solution to read in these connection strings from a file separate from my actual .vb code?
Ideally I want to be able to drop the .vb and the connection string file into its own folder on any number of asp.net websites and not update anything else (for example add any connections to the web.config or anything) than the external file containing the connection strings, I assume something like xml would suffice?

Reference To External File Included In Project
Jun 9, 2010When you add a file that the project will use (in my case an Excel file) and set it to be copied to the output directory, you can of course add a string to a class with the file name in it to use the file. I was wondering though does Visual Studio automatically generate a member somewhere that contains the name of the file? Perhaps in the My Namespace?
Kind of like how when you set the Build Action to Resource, Visual Studio generates a member in the My.Resources namespace for reference. Whenever I change the name of the file in the Solution Explorer it would be nice if I had some method that would automatically update the file name in the code.

Storing Application Variables In An External File?
Jul 8, 2009I have been tasked to create an application, for which the requirements may change over time.This application will be a data entry Windows application,of which multiple copies will be running.All data will be written to text (.CSV) files for validation before being uploaded to a remote mainframe system (iSeries).My application needs to store certain variable information in an external text (or XML) file; for example, the file path to shared resources (which may change over time),as well as the specific data fields required by the mainframe system.
My questionsare these: what is considered the best practice for accomplishing such a task, and how would I accomplish it?I am completely new to XML, so I don't even know where to begin, although I am sure that XML is the path to follow for what I am trying to accomplish.
