I have three settings Pleas,DocketSheets,AllTrays (strings). How to I set the value and save them for ever?
I've tried.
My.Settings.AllTrays = "Tray1;Tray2;Tray3;Tray4"
My.Settings.Save()
but it says that AllTrays is readOnly. Are the settings only retrievable and not settable or updatable?
I am not sure what the heck I am doing wrong. I would like if when the user selects no, then the app setting is nothing. By nothing I mean nothing, I am using "Nothing" to test but its not working it returns whatever is in the richtextbox
This is in my formclosing event
Dim msg As String = "Do you want to save your comments?"
MessageBox.Show(msg, "Save", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
If DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then

I am developing an application, and i need to store some configuration settings, with time, i will need to add some more configuration settings.

View 2 RepliesI have this code in one button:
For Each x In ListBox1.Items
Label1.Text = "Status: Loading IMDB page..."
Dim str As String = x
Dim MOVIESNAME = str.Substring(str.IndexOf(""c) + 8)
[Code] .....
Is there an option to set a time interval between each check? Because it will load the page (it's not google, it's my personal website with some information needed) and it need to be fully loaded till it gets the information then it would do another check for another listbox1 item. Like.. maybe 5 to 10 seconds is enough..

I have a label printer with the driver loaded with the settings in the driver set I can print the exact label that I want, I have the problem that I need to set the default settings in the driver when the software starts. there are 6 of these printers and the only problem we have found is that different operators like to change the settings.
What I need to do is to set the following commands in the driver so each time the system is started (daily) it loads the settings and works properly.
I need to set
Custom Commands Text, Start, Parsed Text
In the Advanced Setup, turn on use printer settings
Other settings would be usfull but as I cannot set these I do not think I will be able to set others.
I can currently set some of the commands eg,
DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.Copies=2
I am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..
I have created a settings-file for my plug-in-based app. When the mainApp writes the settings to the file, the pluginApp should read the settings from the settings-file (when opening or at runtime even better), but somehow it reads the settings from the app.config-file. This means that the pluginApp never will read the settings according the values of the file.
View 4 RepliesI saw that you can also use a "Settings File" (Add new Item)to add your settings instead of the application settings. But I can't seem to write any values to the file. Someone with experience with the "Settings1.settings"?

What I am trying to do is allow for my objects to know when their data has changed on the database (so they are able to raise an event to let the user of the object know about the change).After following several tutorials on how to get SqlDependency working, I have finally managed to get it to let me know when something changes (although it also appears to let me know when I make the initial connection to it too, but that isn't a problem as I can work around that).The function that I have which sets up the SqlDependency is;
Public Function getMembers() As List(Of User)
Dim conn As New SqlConnection(_connectionString)
Dim sql As String = "SELECT UserGroupUserID, UserID, GroupID FROM dbo.xtblUserGroupUsers

I want to prevent a form from loading if the systems regional datetime settings format for the date is not in the form of dd/MM/yyyy.
View 1 RepliesI found that there was the Settings.Properties collection as well as the Settings.PropertyValues collection, and hopefully i'm not doing extra work here, but i'm creating both, and then assigning a value to the Settings(PropName).
Defaultly, in my "static" settings (through the IDE designer window and such) I have 9 settings/properties, and at run time when I'm processing, the Settings.Properties.Count doeos indeed equal 9.
Now, in the process of my application I generate some "saved" control properties myself, and actively "add" them to the Settings:
For Each prop As String In Me.Keys
Try
name = Layout & "." & _control.Name & "." & prop
[Code]....
This seems to work fine, and after the repetitive code (cycling through a collection) is finished, the Setting.Properties.Count does indeed equal 79, for the 70 new properties added.
I not only execute a My.Settings.Save() when the application exits, but I know I also have the SaveMySettingsOnExit set to true, but the next time i load up the app, my settings.properties.count is back to 9.
Basically, my app has the main form and a windows form "splash". Let me explain, this "Splash" is a WINDOWS FORM, not a splash form; its just named splash because I want to use it for that reason.In my project settings, my main form is my startup, and the splash form is my splash. This splash form has been coded on a timer for 10 seconds, but when I set the splash form as the splash setting, the form shows up for 1 second and goes to the main form.What I need is to edit the splash setting time from 1 second to x# seconds (preferebly 10)

View 3 RepliesIn VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.
text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.
I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time
Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I'm using LINQ to Entities to generate typed result sets in VB.Net. I've got a generic Report class as follows:
Public Class Report
Public Property Name As String
Public Property SQL As String
Public Property Type As String
End Class
Then in the calling scope I want to have code that does something like:
' create my data context
Dim context As New MyAppEntities
' get a report object out of a dropdown list

So far I'm finding that .Net won't let me set the type in the (Of Type) clause on the fly at runtime.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I've tried changing the Type property of the Report class to an object of type Type, but that doesn't work either.
BTW, I know there are alternative ways to accomplish the same thing, but I'm working with external constraints that make this what I've got to work with right now.

My typical application has a couple of textboxes, checkbuttons, radiobuttons, and so. I always want to load the settings the user used the last time when the program starts, and also want to save the settings as the users clicks "Save settings" or closes the application. When the user attempts to save the settings, I'll have to check each of the controls for input errors (sometimes they have to have a max length, other times only caps, other times other things, there isn't a rule for them all, everytime it'll be different), and only if everything OK i'll let him save the options. If there is something wrong, no option is saved and my error-control provider will pop up a description of the input type info that should be put in that control.
I've been designing this from scratch for all my projects, but it's being a pain to do it. So I'd thought maybe now was the time to do some library to help me. I thought initially that maybe it'd be a good idea to have all the controls on my form that are going to be part of this save/load process to have an attribute associated with them, something like this [Code]

How do I reset My.Settings at run time to the initial default values. I want to do this after the app has been running and the user may have save changed settings.

View 2 RepliesI�m converting some Crystal reporting functions from VB 6.0 to VB .Net 2008, have reports up and running, and I�m not quite sure how to approach one aspect. The issue I have is most of the Crystal reports connect to a database and run a stored procedure. The connection properties are set up in the report usually pointing at the development region. At run time I need to be pointing to either development, user acceptance, or production. I know what environment I�m in from a configuration file but don�t know how to go about telling Crystal what environment and stored procedure to point at. In VB 6.0 it was:
CR1.Connect = "DSN=" & A.ReportServer & ";<<Use Integrated Security>>;DSQ=" & A.ReportManhattanDB
Where A.ReportServer and A.ReportManhattanDB contain the connection poperties. The stored procedure is passed via:

But it isn't working! If I don't Overrides Property BackColor, this is working as expected but I really need to group in my custom tab.
I'm developing a revised version of a system I have been using for years, but with all the advantages of .NET features that were not around when I first made this. It's proving a steep learning curve! So, when a user logs in through my Login.aspx page which simply compares username/password to Database record, the system creates a session variable containing the user's Username and various other things. There are two type of variable which will be common to all elements of this system
User Specific data, Username, Permissions, etc
Setting variables, drawn from a database of pre-set facilities which are setup within the system, some will determine which facilities work, how they work, and some will be dependent upon the User's permission. Obviously, I could set everything within the Session data, but that'd be inefficient wouldn't it? If I were to set these globally available variables in my App_Code, how would I go about setting this up so that, for example, those variables which require a database call, are set for the duration of the Logged-In session and do not require constant Database lookups? Further to that, those variables which are dependent on the session state, would need clearing on each LogOut. I am using VB.NET.
