Save Variables To Be Recalled Next Time The Program Runs?
Nov 9, 2009
I am creating a very simple game for a project. There is opportunity for bonus marks, and one thing I would like to do is be able to "save" the game. The only thing I need to do is save about 4 variables to be recalled the next time the program runs.
What is the best way to do this?
I have searched Google, and there are ways to link the program to an Access database, but that seams a little extreme. I tried seeing if you can make an XML file to hold them, but I can't really find any good information.

I am teaching myself VB, and when I try to run this program, I am getting "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." If I was to declare the variables inside each event handler, the program runs, but why won't it run when I make the scope public? Seems repititous having to declare the variables in every event handler. [code]

I have a complex form to allow the user to configure my app.
What's the best way to save the form state & reload when the program next runs.
I mean text he has entered in list boxes, the selected item of combo/list/radio, whether a checkbox is cheeked, etc

what I would like to do is create a program that runs in the task bar next to the time. What I want this to do is listen for the key stroke combo of CTRL-ALT-T no matter what program they are in. When they hit this key stroke I want the program to do is hide the task bar on the bottom of the screen. you know how you can change the hight to two rows one row and so on but you can also drag it down so it has no rows and can't see it. Then when they hit CTRL-ALT-T it will then display the task bar with what ever the hight wa set to. Just don't know what direction to go to do this.

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...

I've almost completed my first VB.Net app which is a rewrite of an old vba app I wrote.The last part that I need to write is the timed events part. What I have in VBA is quite straightforward.Every 500ms the Timer event runs through, it checks if certain variables have been flagged and if so runs the relevent code? Code is nothing major, just updates a networked device.I've looked into timers in .net but it seems like there are various routes that I can go down.

I created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

I have made a program that has an intro screen, moving onto an activity select screen which acts as the main interface to get around the program. After creating the program and installing it on my computer, when I close the program from the activity select screen, using the "X" at the top right corner, the program continues to run under "processes" in the task manager.If I close the program from the intro screen though, it will close everything, including the processes. Is there anyway I can get the same to happen with the game select screen? I can make it work by putting my own "End" button on the form, but id prefer to be able to do it with forms own close button.

I created a program in MS Visual Web Developer 2010. It has a form that simply launches a script that manipulates a database. The project lives in several files and they are all inherited so they see each other and it accesses a MSSQL Express DB on one of our servers.
When I F5-Run the project locally on my PC it works fabulously. When I copy it to a web-enabled (application) folder on the server it executes but almost my very first line of code fails with this error[code]...

I would like to know if there is a way to see how long a program runs. I have one that takes a very long time to run, which is not the problem. I start it and go to bed or leave for the day. When I come back it has finished. I do know it takes hours. Is there a way to find out how long it does take to run give or take a couple of minutes?

I created a program that has 11 threads running simultaneously.Each thread runs a stopwatch and measures the amount of time that passes between the Start and Stop.There is no code between the start and stop, so most often, the result is 0 milliseconds.I noticed that INITIALLY, after a few minutes, the program would slow and the output to the RichTextBox would become disjointed.So, every two minutes, I have a timer execute and end the threads and restart them all.This seemed to help, however, after about an hour and a half, the program becomes more sluggish, evident in the stopwatches recording more instances over 0 milliseconds.Does this have to do with 'garbage collection' and is that even possible in VB .NET (I thought C only had that), or perhaps memory management?

I am looking to write a program that runs in the background that monitors the USB ports on a PC. If a specific device gets unplugged I want a message box to come up saying so. Is this possible. I am guessing I would need to query the usb devices for their ID and then write a simple If then statement, however I do not know how to get the IDs of the usb devices.

I wrote a simple auto login script to update my IP address on a certain website. Something really strange is happening now though. The first time I run the program, nothing happens. However, the second time I run the program, that instance will work fine. Then I look in task manager, and the first program is still running, using a whopping 50% of my CPU. I believe VB may be blocking off memory or something, as when two instances are running each is using around 25% of CPU. Then after the second one successfully completes, the first starts to use 50% again.
Here's my code below:
Option Strict Off
Public Class frmTest
Private Sub frmTest_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
