My program will need to store some settings for when the program gets closed then opened again. I would then like to reload the settings?

I am currently working on a menu driven console program that so far has 4 menu options of checking internet connection, decrypting/encrypting a message, calculator, and a logout, and i am wondering about a few current things.
1. How do i make it to where, when a program starts for the first time, it asks for a user to enter in his data, like signing up for a site for the first time?
2. How do i make it to where the program will save the data entered, and does not delete when the user closed the program.
3. How can i make it to where when a user signs in, his/her data is read correctly? Like an array search for a multidimensional array.For my "New user" sign data i created a function...
Function createNewUser() As String()
Dim name As String
Dim userName As String[code]...
In class i saved my program in with load of other test programs for the same assignment and got everything mixed up i finally figured out what was what and loaded the program in Visual Basic. Now my program doesn't recognize one of my forms when i try to access the design view of it. I hit run for the hell of it and the program runs with errors of course but the form1 "the missing one" shows up with all the buttons etc and i can use it.
Heres the link to the files. [URL]
What makes it even harder is that I can't replicate this problem on my computer very consistently. Sometimes I will get the error but most of the time I won't. Basically what is happening is I am creating an IE object which my program then controls for a long period of time. What is happening is, if a user exits the program it calls oIE.Quit() then closes the program. This should close internet explorer and all processes associated with it.
But, the iexplorer process doesn't end up closing. Then when the user tries to run the program again we get this error "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80004005.".
To fix this we simply close the any iexplorer.exe processes that are open and it will let us create our i.e. object again. This happens also if the program crashes and they try to restart it. I am not sure what is causing this or if I am missing something that has to do with com objects. Here is some code although plugging in this code likely won't reproduce any errors:
'create ie object
oIE = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
oIE.Navigate("[URL]")
oIE.Visible = False
oIE.Silent = True
'kill ie object
oIE.Quit()
I am looking for an easy way to save the value of a variable when a program is closed. And then when it is reopened the variable has the same value as what it was previously when the program was closed. The variable has an integer value.
View 2 RepliesI have a program which when a button is clicked on a form sends the form to the back, so that Notepad can open on top, then it opens up notepad
Me.SendToBack()
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe", myPath & "*********.txt")
Now what I want to do is to detect when the notepad has been closed then I can bring the form back to the front and I just do not know which commands to use for this to detect a program outside of VS 2010.

for example i have this code :
Sub Month()
Dim Conn As New Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection
Conn.Open()
Try
Dim Cmd As New Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand
With Cmd
[Code]...
What will happen to the datareader when the Connection is closed ( Conn.close)
Will the Cursor that is used by the datareader be freed ? or will it stay open ?
If the cursor that is used by the datareader is still open , when will it be automatically closed ? or should i just closed it manually ?
Will it cause the dreaded "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded" ?
why when I am Closing the program by clicking on the X button, the NotifyIcon did not closed? it just stay there until I move my mouse over it....

I would like to develop a very simple question-answer program whereby there is a user form with a label which contains the question, a text box where the user enters the answer and a button that the user clicks to change to the next question. This should be rather simple but I would like to have about 500 questions in the end (will be slowly adding more questions).

View 1 Repliesi would like for my first project to be a CPU stress testing program (kind of like Core Damage or Intel Burn Test).I have no problem designing the form, but how and where should I start? I've done some searching, but haven't really found much. I think the reason for that is because nobody is really going to just give out source code for anything (which is completely understandable).
The main thing I would like to understand is what exactly makes the CPU work at 100%? And how could I design it to where it automatically determines the amount of cores/threads the CPU has, and utilize them 100% without having to open up one instance for each? Or is that jumping too far ahead?
EDIT > I know that I'll need to create some kind of loop for the CPU to process over and over until closed. I was thinking something along the lines of calculating Pi to 32 million digits or something like that.
> Another goal is to have some sort of error checking capability. I am an overclocker, and I would like to have this ability with this program. For example, it I make it to calculate Pi, then I would like for it to tell me if there were any errors in the digits it produced.
I am a EE graduate from about a year and a half ago working in the semiconductor industry as a hardware/test engineer. I wan't to learn VB to do lab level data test and acquisition. I am learning this in my free time at work and home, and I would be using VB to talk with different electronic equipment through GBIP to source, measure, and record data. Anyone have any good ideas of a good book for such applications?? I know there are a ton of books and courses out there, but 99.9% of that information is not going to be needed for my industry application. I also took a few C classes in college, and I have some experience with labview so I am not a total noob to programming. So if anyone has a good book, or refferences that would be really appreciated.Also what version of VB would you recomend me learning?

As I develop code, I often want to unit test some of the building blocks of a class even if they are normally private. If my unit tests are inside the project, I can use "Friend" to accomplish this and still keep the functions private for normal use. But I would rather move my NUnit tests into their own separate project(s).
