I like the way one saves settings in VB.Net, that is, with the project properties. However, I want to develop a mobile project that includes saving some settings. Problem is that the project properties doesn't include "Settings" when developing a mobile project.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 3 Repliesi have created a user setting named 'setmeup' as string, scope = user, value = "magical meow meow!".in my code i access it and assign it a new value like this...my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!"my.settings.save()application.restart()when the application restarts, i expect the my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" but when i check its contents its still "magical meow meow!".but when i use application.exit() instead of application.restart() and manually restart the program, my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" which is correct.what must i do? i want to use application.restart() because i don't want the users to double-click the icon again to start the program. i want the program to restart automatically.

I'm working on a mobile project, and I have this:
search textbox (fillby method)
combobox (bound to the data)
datagrid

I set up some application settings for checkboxes on an app and then decided to remove them. When I set the Application Settings to (none) in the designer and restarted the app, the checkbox constantly checks and unchecks itself. I completely remade the app and removed the file that is used to store my.settings in the Local folder of the user's appdata profile. I also made sure to uncheck the "save my.settings" on shutdown.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to save a collection of key/value settings in my application's "user settings" (they're column widths), but while I see no errors, when I run the code (in the IDE) my collection in "My.Settings" is always nothing at startup. I do a "My.Settings.Save" when the application exits, and barring the "serializers not found" errors in the IDE, no other errors occur. When I run my application as an exe, it behaves the same way..

View 4 RepliesI have a project that has several different interfaces (a website, a local application, and some webservices), that all use the same class library. The library is an API to a database. Some settings, like log level, database connection etc, i want to store in a single place, and I want them editable. What is the best way to accomplish this? I am concerned both about ease of editing, and ease of access for the dll, as there will be a lot of calls to it and a lot of lookups for the values. I have considered using app.config, a standalone XML file, and writing values to the registry, but I cannot find any good comparisons.
View 2 RepliesI want to add a setting that uses an enum defined in form1.vb. All the research I've done suggests support for enum type settings is built-in and handled automatically by the VS IDE ... I assume this means it's as easy as defining font or color settings. However, I'm not having much. Are any of you gurus aware of how to set up an enum setting via the Project Settings UI?

Does anyone know of a good way to save settings in vb.net?
The only way I know how to do right now is to make a registry key with a specified value and call upon it when the program loads up again.
I can't do this though because I have a whole lot of data I have to save.
can you save the data in a notepad and call it line by line to save each feature?
It's just a login form that is supposed to save your connection settings, but it won't save my values; they revert to the previous values every time I run the program. Does the IDE just not save your settings, or am I doing something wrong?

In a VB.Net project, you can use the Settings tab of the properties page to define application settings. To reference the settings in code, you use the syntax My.Settings.SettingName in VB.
On the Settings tab, you get to choose the Access Modifier. It may be "Friend" or "Public". Presumably, when you choose "Public", you are making the settings accessible to other assemblies. However, once "Public" is chosen, I can't figure out the syntax to reference the settings of one project from another. In fact, I can't observe any difference between using "Internal" vs. "Public" as the access modifier.
My question: Does choosing "Public" as the access modifier make settings accessible to other assemblies? If so, what is the syntax to reference the settings from other assemblies? If not, what does "Public" do?
I get this error

When I take my connection string and store it in the project settings. I know that this works.

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.
