VS 2008 Making Preferences To Program And Saving
Sep 27, 2010
The projects I've made in VS 2008 and VB6 are pretty basic. I use VS 2008 now, and I was wondering how I could accomplish something like this:Let's say I want to make a toolbar and in the toolbar (under Options...) I want to open up a dialog box that will allow users to change preferences to the software I've made. Let's say, for instance, they can set the background color of the main form to customize their software a bit.

I want to save my preferences for a program. I just want to know how to do it, since I cant get how to save this file at my documents, because every computer has a different name and username, but using the My.User.Name returns 'USERNAME-PC-USERNAME' which doesn't work. For example, I want the program to create this text file 'CPreferences' at 'C:Users'username'Documents'. And then when the program is re-opened it will automatically load this file into itself, the file will basically contain 2 lines:

what I mean, every full-featured program has one. Tools > Options brings it up in Firefox. First off, I've looked for tutorials on making these and can't find them anywhere, does anybody have any links? Second, I'm making mine with a TreeView and panels. The problem is designing this thing with all of these overlapping panels! It's crazy. So, how do you easily make an options menu like Firefox where clicking on different tabs brings up different data options?

I have a default WindowsApplication1. I understand that with .NET the recommended way to save program settings are to use XML files instead of the registry.In this application I have a menu with a "Settings" entry, that opens a window which has 1 setting"Save window position", and a checkbox

im new to programing infact this is my second day... im unsure of where to ask this question and i know this is probably not the hardest thing to do lol, i am making a "launcher" to launch a few games, a webbrowser and a few other things, however to do this i have a "set path" in the code, i want to know if anyone can help me make a "setup page" so the user of the launcher can set the path [eg]- to launch firefox i have If IO.File.Exists("C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe") Then Process.Start("C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe")not everyone has firefox installed to that exact location , so i need to make a settings page to set the paths, each file is launched buy a single button, in the future i may even make another program much the same for people who dont know how to use a pc nd just want to check emails and browse to a webpage.

Write a program that makes change for amounts less than one dollar. Input to the program should be an integer less than 100. Output should be the original amount together with the proper set of coins that add up to that number. The program should produce change consisting of the minimum amount of coins possible. The output should be printed in such a way as to avoid unnecessary amounts.For example:
32 cents should be printed as:32 requires 1 quarter, 1 nickel, and 2 cents Rather than� 32 requires 1 quarter(s), 0 dime(s), 1 nickel(s), and 2 cent(s)

I have an app that gets info from the internet into a label, the progam then decides which event will hapen depending on the info obtained, either load next form and continue or Application.Exit
My problem is that the speed that the info is returned from the net, varies and because the info is late sometimes the program exits when it should not.

How do I save my programs settings in a document? Like total sessions used, Total accounts created. Also, How do I make a text file save and load every time the program is opened or closed? The saved accounts should be like this in the text file.
Account: Account name E-Mail: E-Mail used Password: Password used
Account name, Password, E-Mail will will all be in a textbox or combobox so if you can make it save from there. I have an total accounts created combobox. How would I make that load into a combobox and then when session is closed they all save. So loaded into a combobox then saved into a text file.

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.

I am trying to set the variables, 'min and 'max' from user selected preferences. But, since the code where the variables go is outside of the private sub, I can't figure out where to put the code to retrieve the data from the file.
Dim spkr As New SpeechLib.SpVoice
Dim r As New Random()
Dim CountDownTo As Integer = r.Next(min, max)

My HP LaserJet 1018 Printer Preferences has "Paper options" with four options: Use different paper, Size is, source is, Type is. "Type is" has options such as: Plain, label, card stock, envelope etc. Apparently this information is relayed to the printer and affects its operations. In my case when I put in labels the heavier paper is not pulled correctly and the registration is often off. How can I choose one of these from VB 2008 .NET? I find "paper size" but not "type is" among the many options for Printer Settings.

I need to have the ability to have a Global variable/class that stores some basic information about the currently logged in user including that user's preferences, security rights, UserID, etc. This information will be needed by any/every part of my application. In the past I have either used a Public variable/class in a vb.net module for this purpose. I'm trying to get away from my old ways of doing things and was curious what people currently do for this functionality.
I am thinking a singleton or 2 regarding preferences and security but am not sure if that is the best way to go.
EDIT: I asked this when I was too sleepy last night. This is an n-Tier WinForms application.

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]...

What would be the best way to make a Windows .NET application be the only program that can be used on a computer? I have come across timers or events to switch windows back to a window with matching text and some api32 calls to make a form top most.
Is it possible to make an application like the windows lock screen where nothing can be done except that what is on screen? I want to block users from doing other things and only let administrators get to the desktop.

I am making a program that is very simple, but I'm have problems with it. It runs like this:Theres a textbox and you enter in any amount you want.Next to that there are three radio buttons, deposit, check and service charge.If you enter in 100 in the transaction text box, and check the deposit radio button, and hit "Calculate" it will display 100 (in a total display box); hit calculate again, it will display 200, then 300, etc..Now lets say you keep 100 in the text box, but you check either "service charge" or "check" and hit calculate then it will MINUS the amount in your total display box. So for example if you had 300 in the total display box, and 100 in the transaction box and you checked "Service Charge" and hit calculate it would display 200 in the total display box, hit calculate again, and it shows 100.. etc..
Public Class Form1
Private Balance As Decimal
Private Sub CalculateButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As

I am making a program in vb.net (visual basic) that has two forms. I have one as a sort of "main" base which will be behind everything. Then I have another additional form which is suppose to go on top of the "main" form. Well I get this to work when I show both of the forms, but I want the smaller (additional) form to be centered onto the main form. If you want an easier sense of it, its a small box in a big box. (all centered and aligned). Does anyone know how to do this?
