A while back, I wrote my own settings provider because I was having problems persisting settings in a class library. (Note - I had no problems persisting settings from an application).Today, I just did a test of persisting class library settings and it worked, without my custom provider.The test is:
(1) Create a class library
(2) Add a setting - 'Name'
(3) Add a class with a public shared property 'Name' that reads and writes to the setting 'Name'.
(4) Create an application that references the class library, and use the shared property to read and write the 'Name' setting.
I'm sure that before the 'Name' setting would persist while the application was open but after I closed it and re-opened it, the setting would revert to the default.This is not happening now and I'd like to be sure that I was being an idiot before and not an idiot now.
ETA: I've noticed that the first time I create a test app, change the setting, close, and reopen, the setting is not persisted. Subsequently it is. May be I gave up after one try before. Any ideas why it's not persisted the first time?
ETA2: As an example, I have a class library called 'MyLibrary' and a test application called 'MyApp'. I do the steps 1-4 above, and below are the contents of the user.config file found at C:Documents and SettingsUser NameLocal SettingsApplication DataMyAppMyApp.vshost.exe_Url_vi5gjcooahbdm2ma3dcay0mkexu2suul1.0.0.0. Note: I did not touch the settings in MyApp;-

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to save my application settings at run time, but im not noticing any change in the application settings window. Basically, whenever a change is made to the price of a room, i want to save it to the settings so it can recalled later on in run time and when the program is started up again at a later day. Heres the code im using;

I'm having trouble with my application settings and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this.
I have a Librabry with a connection string. In the project for the library it has its own app.config:
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >

I am starting to use cryptostream class. I may be wrong, if you encrypt something, close the app, and then try to decrypt it, it will not be able to because a different key will be generated. Because I do need this functionality, I am wondering if it's possible to save the key in application settings and whether this is the right way to go?

my old vb6 program used to store to ini files now with .net I rekon I need to do something new.. was thinking XML but then in searching around I stumbled apon this my.settings stuff.. so I followed the instructions but something strange is going one..
1. whats the difference between the standard my.settings and adding a new class that is of settings ? anything ?
2. I made 10 new settings in the setting manager but when I try to change then it gives me the old squiggle line saying no go.
I'm asking this question here, in this forum, as I couldn't find MSDN Managed forum for Crystal Reports. And the previously asked questions are unanswered. I've developed an application using VB.NET and Crystal Reports in VS2008. The report generated gets printed correctly on modern laser or inkjet printers. However, the entire formatting gets affected when I print these reports on dot matrix printer. Apart from that. the print speed is very slow. I tried exporting the report to PDF, XLS, DOC and other formats - but no solution. There was Export to Text function, which is not working in Crystal Reports now.

I 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.
View 2 RepliesI am looking for the best way for settings within settings. Example would be an IRC network list. Which will be displayed as desired writing. If i clicked edit on that network it would bring up another form with that networks setting. Take xchat for example. what would you say would be best suited? XML seems more suited.

View 5 RepliesI have been trying to get this to work for the past hour, I have an arraylist that contains string() items inside of it, I want to be able to save it and retrieve it.. When I try to save something to it and then close my application and turn it back on, everything I saved is gone.
View 3 RepliesI 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)

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.

VB 2010 Express, Windows 7 The settings on the main form save properly. My problem is that I have a usercontrol that is changed to a tabpage that I use to 'clone' tabs. Is there a way to save the cloned tabs along with there settings?
Multiple people use the program and the number of tabs and settings are different for each person.
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.
View 4 RepliesI 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?
