Saving ConnectionString To My.Settings

May 21, 2009

I would like to save my connectionstring in my.settings but this property is only readonly.When i would save it as a String, then I can't find it with the wizard for building a report. [code] is there also another way to build a connectionstring? this works, but the type of My.Settings. Data base String is a string and not a ConnectionString.

Prompting Before Saving Settings?

Nov 3, 2010

I need to have my application to prompt the user to see if he wants to save the settings or not before the application exits.I got this to work this way: I added an event handler to My.Application.Shutdown. This event handler does prompt the user and save the settings if the user answers "Yes".But in order to stop the application to save the settings anyway via its regular way, I have to set My.Application.SaveMySettingsOnExit to falseAs I said, it works, but it just look like a bad logic to set SaveMySettingsOnExit to false to have it to save the settings saved on exit with a prompt.

My question is: is there a way to get it work like this:
-SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =True ( Save and Prompt)
-SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =false ( Save and no Prompt)

Saving Variables In My.settings?

Dec 13, 2010

Im studying vb coding at the moment and im designing a reasonably small text based game using the windows console and so far i have a nice working game but the main problem is that the game restarts when you end the console, obvious i know. Been trawling through pages looking at different ways to save multiple variables for multiple uses such as a save/load feature and most pages have confused me, people asking for help with commands im not common with. So far i've tried using my settings to save the variables in a test program but can't get it to work?I have in settings a variable called gold with a scope of user as an integer and i have this code to try and utilise it

Studio Not Saving Settings

Aug 2, 2009

I recently noticed that exceptions were not getting caught by Visual Studio (I'm using VS 2008 Standard) - e.g I could do this and run the program[code]...

and the debugger would not kick in and tell me something had gone wrong, the program would just continue running as normal.I remembered someone on here helping me fix this a while ago by pressing Ctrl + Alt + E to bring up the exception handling settings, so I did that again and ticked the Common Runtime Language exceptions box (Throw) and then all worked fine again.The problem is, this setting does not seem to be getting saved - each time I restart VS I have to set it again, which is annoying to say the least... especially when I forget and then get confused when my program isnt working properly.

Way Of Saving Control Settings?

Sep 23, 2010

I'm writing a search tool. Setting the search parameters requires adjusting the values of over 70 different controls on my form.I want to make a list of saved searches. Is there an easy way to do so? Does VB have any built in features to save and load the current values of every control on the form?I could code it by hand. But this would be tedious, especially up to 15 listboxes, where I would need to save each item in the list and note whether they are checked or not. I really hope VB has a way of saving the entire form at once.

Saving 2-dimensional Arrays To Settings?

Jun 30, 2011

I have two different 2-dimensional arrays. I assume the setting i need to save them to is a string setting, as is the cast with regular integer arrays. The first 2-d array I need to save is an integer, the second a decimal.

Let's say the settings are called my.settings.2darray1 and my.settings.2darray2
Let's also say the arrays are:

vb

dim 2darray1(50, 99) as integer dim 2darray2(50, 99) as decimal

What would the code be to load each array and save each array?

How do I save my programs settings in a document? Like total sessions used, Total accounts created. Also, How do I make a text file save and load every time the program is opened or closed? The saved accounts should be like this in the text file.

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.
