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

I have a setting labeled "Names" and in the program I can create a new "Names" value, which works fine. But, I want to be able to automatically save to this new "Names" and retrieve information from the value without having to close the program and reopen it in order to have the new setting saved. Is there a way to do this? I tried using the Me.Refresh() command, but it didn't do the trick.

I have to drive files using different settings from the printer driver. Can I change the preferences & settings of the driver from a VB application? Right now I am using a VBScript, using key presses, to drive the files. I am developing an application using VB.net. I want to get away from the key stroke method. It takes to long to drive all of the files at the different printer driver settings.
View 2 RepliesThis is regarding a windows app in Visual Studio 2005, a VB Windows application.'ve stored a connection string called strSQLConn in My.Settings. I'm trying to change the Server in code. I set a string variable called strConn to a new Connection string. My.Settings.Profile2006sql = strConn
This produces an error saying that My.Settings is readonly. I'm missing something basic here.
I don't know if this is the best way to change a connection string to toggle between a development server and a production server. My understanding is that if the setting Connection string is changed it will be used as the default for all the table adapters in a strongly typed dataset. Is that the case?
I have some questions on AppSettings. I can add a setting at design time from the settings tab of the My Project. I would like to add to the settings at run time. I have not found a way to do this. I would in VB6 use an ini file but would like to start using xml.
The .net makes this folder for the settings C:UsersRyanAppDataLocalTestAppSettingsAppSettings.vshost.exe_Url _0ay3fimqt4k0pp1s2e4vb3pi3iymxzx2 .
How do I retrieve the location to add to the xml file?

View 8 RepliesIm writing a app using vb.net, which has multiple front ends e.g a windows service and a windows forms app. Ive got all my business logic and database stuff compiled into 1 project (producing a dll) then the different front ends as different projects calling the dll.
In the backend / dll project Im connecting to 2 databases using app.config to store the connection strings and DataSets / TableAdapters. This all works fine .... Until
When I deploy the windows app, it deploys the exe and the dll produced by the backend project. when its installed on a client PC, Im need to point the app at a different db server and therefore need to change the connectionstring, but its packaged up in the dll.
is there any way I can use a settings file within my windows app (therefore deployed with my windows app) where I can define the connectionstring, which onload gets passsed through into my dll, so the backend connects the correct database. I know how to pass standard settings through (strings etc) but the my.settings.connectionstrings seem to be readonly.
I'm trying to make a V.O.S, (don't ask) and I have 2 questions:

i have a program i've made a while, and one of the users wants to be able to load his own images to the background instead of the plain grey that is there now. i've searched and searched, and basically can get this working
BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("C:UsersMeFileName.png")
i just slapped that onto a button just to get it to work as i was experimenting. but that only works for a file of that name, on my computer, in that folder. what i'm looking to do is get it so a user can browse his own directories for images and upload them as the background on the form. and be able to save the settings as well. but so far i have only seen different ways to load preset images that you can load. if it's even possible? i'd assume that you'd use the openfiledialog command, but i'm not that well versed in vb as of yet.

I have a forms application and I have multiple localizations for it. I've figured out how to add a button to a form, to change the localization and then read all the labels/etc and change them to the other language.What I would want to do instead now is click a button and it changes to the other language the current form but also the entire application so that any other windows opened while the application is open open in that other language.[code]This is the code I use when a button is clicked on a form to change it to Hindi the current form. However I want to when the button is clicked, change application to continue to run on that localization instead for the remainder of the time it is open.[code]

How do we overwrite config file at runtime. I have four config files for DEV, TEST, UAT, PROD. Based on user selection I need to overwrite the default config file completely with one of the selection specific config files. These config files not only have appsettings section, but also has complex cutom sections and subelements with lot of attributes. I need to overwrite and refreshsections dynamically at runtime. I know there are so many articles on editing appsettings sections. But I want to completely overwrite the entire file.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a contract to repair problems in a application that interfaces with a custom built digitizer tablet.The application recognizes the tablet at startup, initiates calibration to locate the pad limits and then saves those limits to file.During the run of the application the user has a cursor that is changed to a line with a X on the left hand side of it. The user then uses this custom cursor to click in a PDF document where they would like the contents of the Digitizer pad to be placed. When they click a box signifying the size of the digitizer pad along with the same blank and X appears. What I have been having issue with is that the box and the line with the X appear most of the time but on occasion the line and X appears at either the top or bottom of the box and the click is no longer at the line with the X but somewhere in the middle of the box. This really screws up things and often the user has to uninstall and re-install the application to get it righted.
The values that save the calibration points are bound to variables during the build process, there is a separate routine to calibrate the digitizer pad if the user desires to do it again.
