VS 2005 Save Settings Database Connection And ComboBox Selection?
Jan 15, 2010
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 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 had this working and i foudn the info on this forum, but i cant for the life of me renemebr how to do it, and searching for the thread all i can find is this:

Which is not it, the method i used only involved a few clicks per item to set up and it made it so what ever selection was chosen in a combobox for example was saved, and then that selection was loaded on the apps next run, i know i had to do something in the application setting/databinding area of the properties.
here is the situation i am using the combobox with the databound dataset..i produce two combobox for that one field because i need to display the selected data in separate tabs... the combobox 1 is working perfectly i can select all data i want to but in the combobox 2 i can only see those data and when i select data on it, it will not display the selected data.. it still remain on the previous displayed data...
I have combobox I need settings saved when user clicks save settings button and I have add by number box I need settings saved on basicly its set on 50 but some users can change value up to 500 so I want it so that can also save settings and thats it
I was thinking adding this but I know it will be wrong
me.combobox1.SaveSettings() or me.nudResultsToShow.Settings.Save()
I'm trying to do the following: Store items from ComboBox in My.Settings (datatype doesn't matter). Retrieve these items to populate a ComboBox on formload. Also display these items (1 item per line) in TextBox, where I can edit and save the edits to both My.Settings and the ComboBox.
I have an app I'm working on with multiple forms. One of the forms, frmLocationInfo, has textboxes and comboboxes which are automatically populated based on a combobox selection from a previous form, frmLocations. I've been able to get any changes made to frmLocationInfo's textboxes to save to the SQL database, however, when attempting to select a different item from any of its comboboxes, it's not saving to the database and instead, I receive a "Procedure or function...has too many arguments specified" error.
Here is the code for the Save button: 'Save changes to Locations db Private Sub btnSaveClose_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
I have a calculate function that adds twenty text boxes together a+b, etc... 20 +20, B changes value when a selection in combobx is changed, how can i make the calculate funtion work up selection change in combobox ? You would think the selection change or index change , but that doesnt work because the tetbox doesnt actually get the new value till after the combo selection is made, so you actually have to go and make the selection twice I know i can put the code in the textbox value change , but i dont want to do that for 20 text boxes and i am assuming there must be a BETTER way?
... 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 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 am storing my connection string in my app.config file. I am using sql server express 2005. The connection string on my dev machine is different from the ones at the clients. so each time I update I open the config file and edit the connection string setting. This is quite a pain.also I have now published my app to an ftp folder so that the clients can get the updates each time I make changes. saves me the hassle of going to them each time i update. so now i need it to be so that I won't have to change the setting all the time.Would the best way be to store the connection string in a settings table in the database?
I have a combobox which contains few objects in Items. When the user selects any item from the combobox the values from the Object member variables are stored in the textboxes on the form.The user will change the values in the textbox and then he will select another item from the combobox.

i 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.

I am working on designing a SQL Server database connection class in VB.net 2005. The idea behind doing this will be so a developer can can call the class, pass it a stored procedure name along with the parameters, and get return values back (if any).
I have a database (Seeds1) that is connected to my project. I have gone in manually and entered data in to my database which is an Access. How do I retrieve information from my database into my program.
I am trying to connect a VB.NET 2003 Oledbdataadapter through the wizard to a SQL Server 2005 Database, but i get an error message during the wizard.These are my steps:New Connection, Select provider (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server), Select Connection:server name, log on: use windows NT integrated security, select database. I do all these steps then click "test connection" and it is fine, but when I click "ok" and error message pops up."Unable to connect to database. It is only possible to connect to SQL Server Desktop Engine databases and Microsoft Access Databases with this version of visual studio."
I would like to enable my app to run from a central database, but I dont want to recompile should the DB server change. Are my only two options saving the connection string to an XML file or the registry?
If so I think the XML file will probably be the way I go at least for me. I dont really want to mess with the registry. I just wanted to check what my options are.
I'm having a problem with combo boxes. I usually use Java and it's been awhile since I used VB but I never remember having this much difficulty.My application is using an SDF file. From Data Sources, I drag the details on one of my Tables to my Form to get all of the fields. Three of them are comboboxes. Each of the three is an INT64 and each corresponds to a primary key in a different table. I click the tasks button on a combobox and for data source I select the appropriate table that has the data to go with the combobox, for display member I select the field that I want users to see, and for value member I select the primary key. Then I run a quick test and start the app, open the form, and add a new record. When I select a value from the combobox the selection won't validate because it doesn't think it's an INT64 like it should be. It seems to be using the display member as the actual value instead because if I change display member to the primary everything works great.
I have two comboBoxes, one is CountryCombo and second is StateCombo.What I want is the that when i the clicks country combo and select a one country then the States of that the country should get populated in the State Combo.I have tried things many many many but nothing working.
