VS 2005 : My.Settings.Save() Not Working?
Oct 28, 2009
I've updated my settings via:
My.Settings.SomeString = "new text"
then I call
My.Settings.Save()
When I check the .config file, the entry under
<userSettings>
<BE.IS.My.MySettings>
<setting name="SomeString" serializeAs="String">
[code]....
... the value remained the same, unchanged.1 thing though, my app is started via Sub Main() in module file, instead of "Enable application framework". Does this affect the saving of Settings file?

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.

I am using VB.NET 2005 and running non embedded crystal reports from the SQL server and have following variables database name, server name, user name and password in the application settings editor and given the default values.
I have created a form that allows these settings to be changed by the user and the probem that I am having is that, the reports are still running with incorrect credentials. The following code runs when the user modifes the values and clicks OK button

I always wondered, but is there a way to get My.Settings to save even when you move a program, such as copy it to another location? Maybe its just me but whenever I use My.Settings in an application, copying it into a different directory will reset all the settings, which kind of sucks.Is there anyway to get the values to stay in the application no matter what? If not My.Settings, than is there any way to store a value to a program so that you don't have to use external files, but so that it will remember the settings even when copied?

I have a program that reads a database file(.csv or.Txt) then allows user to select data from 6 different comboxes and taext boxes are then populated based on the selection made from combobox
I would like to be able to give the user the option to save their settings so next time the program is open it will connect to the same database as the last connection and also have comboboxes go to the last selection Do I have to create a save setting value for each combobox? and the connection string?
is there a simple way to just save everything? so when the program is open it goes back to the last time it was open.

I can double click on the Setting.settings and the projects Settings grid appears in design. I change the value of a user scope setting yet when I run the application in debug it picks up a value I set initially instead of the current value of the setting.
When the app starts I set a connection string to the path of the .SDF file that I set in the Settings.settings grid and accesss it with
mRootSDFPath As
String =
My.Settings.SDFConnectionString

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.

I'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..

I don't even know where to begin describing this. I have a project, that uses settings, for some paths, settings that I retrieve with the My.Settings. function.In my laptop, when I change the .exe.config file, the settings are updated accordingly, but when I try that on the production server, it just shows the default value used while compiling.
I tried changing the solution configurations to debug and other custom configs with no effect.Tried to use the same folder copied and pasted without version control, still the same result.Tried a co-workers laptop, by using the last svn revision, it works there too. But on neither of the servers works.

I have a application that requires access to a tablet, the tablet in order for it transfer data accurately needs to be calibrated from time to time. Users have expressed intrest that once calibration has been done and has been validated to be correct that
those new settings be ready for use in the main application. However, the only way I have been able to do this is to physically re-start the application. I have not had any luck with My.Settings.reload(). The settings I can confirm have changed but the application after saving them and calling the reload do not reload them. Am I doing something wrong? Does reload only work under certain conditions?

I am implementing a mechanism to detect a corrupt user.config file in vb at application startup.
I do this at the start of the application before initializing anything.
If an exception is thrown while trying to access it, I replace the file with a backup last known good copy.
After replacing the bad file and physically checking that we have a good file I run the code :[code...]

So, I've created a form that allows for the user to save his or her settings after closing it. When using Visual Basics to run the program, there is no problem and it works wonders.Here is the problem.When I run the program not in Visual Basics, when I go to open the form, it fails. At first, it was because I didn't update the configuration file to include the new settings. Which was dumb, of course, but I updated the file and made sure to put it with the program.

However, when I opened the program again, it failed. So, I tried putting an error message in the form so I know why it failed. This time, it would come back saying "Error Occurred. The Following Error Occurred:" and that is it. No details at all why it was having any problems reading my new user settings. Once again, the user settings work fine in visual studios. It has the updated configuration file in the same place it is.

I am a beginner using 2008 Express and I am trying to get my application to remember and restore some combobox values. It seems to work fine if the application is opened and closed normally but for some reason it loses the settings if it is opened from the startup folder.
Here is how the startup link is formed:
Dim shortcutFile As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup) & "FBNav.lnk"
If Not IO.File.Exists(shortcutFile) Then

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?
Public Class frmLogin
Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdSubmit.Click

It saves the settings to the registry, loads the preset settings, and if you want to uninstall the app, you can use the delete settings, which deletes the registry folder for you app.
Here's how:
create a form, 1 textbox, 2 check boxes, 3 buttons named as (setbtn, getbtn, delbtn)
'1 textbox, 2 check boxes, 3 buttons as setbtn, getbtn, delbtn
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Public Class Form1
Dim reg As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("SoftwareMyApp", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree)
