.net - Save A Config File Sorted By The 'key' Attribute?
May 30, 2012I have an XML configuration file to which I will occasionally add new elements and, for ease of reading outside of the application, I want to keep it sorted alphabetically - by the "key" attribute of the "add" elements.After a lot of trial and error - using code I've gleaned from here, there and everywhere - I've come up with the code below. It appears to work okay, but I'm only just starting to learn Linq to XML, so I'd like to know whether this is an appropriate method or if there is a better/ more efficient method I've missed. It just feels like I might be taking an unnecessary step in recreating the entire file element.
Dim newEx = cfgEx.<appSettings>(0)
newEx.Add(<add key=<%= sNewKey %> value=<%= sValue %>/>)
Dim sortEx = <configuration>[code]....
EDIT: I think I've worked out a better way to do this - without explicitly recreating all the parent tags in thesortExvariable:
Dim newEx = cfgEx.<appSettings>(0)
newEx.Add(<add key=<%= sNewKey %> value=<%= sValue %>/>)
Dim sortEx = From c In newEx.<add> Order By c.@key Select c
newEx.ReplaceAll(sortEx)
cfgEx.Save(sXmlConfigFile)
VS 2010 - Easiest Way To Save Settings To Config File?
Mar 23, 2011Is there a really simple way to save the app.config file to a location then load it again? I'm making a multiclient app. I was planning on having each user have a folder, and in that folder would be their personalized app.config file that would load when they log in. I don't really know any XML.

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 - My.Settings File - Specify The Location For User.config File
Jan 3, 2010I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?

Apr 18, 2012I am writing an application that will be used to extract information from any one of three different database applications, depending on the option selected. I would also like it to be possible to run it against one of several environments (e.g. development, test or live).
I plan to hold the relevant logon details (in encrypted form, of course) in the app.config file, with the appropriate details selected depending on the environment and application. Rather than have each option hard-coded into a Select Case statement, I want to be able to nest the variables in the app.config. I had envisaged a section of the config file looking like this:

VS 2008 Save File And Encrypt Or Have Unique Save Name?
Mar 19, 2009My question is simple (the answer may not be...), What I am looking for is a way to save a file as an encrypted file (so know one can open it except in visual basic or a way to save it with a unique ending that only visual basic will recognize. I will also need to know of a way to open or load the file to.
This is going to be used in a game I am working on (and yes...I know visual basic isn't really meant for games, but it is coming together pretty well). I was originally going to have it save as a text file, but then everyone could open, read it and even change there stats. That is what this file will contain, the stats for their character, and when they load it, it will place the values into the correct spot.
I am a partial beginner or intermediate coder, I can understand code, I just don't know all there is, like saving and loading, and this is probably a little harder.

Forms :: Save Data To User.config That Is Not Bound?
Sep 23, 2009I would like to commit the data put in a checkedlistbox to the user.config. I have found a way to commit them to my.settings but no matter what Save() method I call, it does not commit the new data (that is not bound to a control, through the propertybindings) to the user.config, either immediately or when I shutdown the application. Which means, when I loop through the settings when the application starts back up, the data is not there to be added back to the checkedlistbox. I have put save methods in the formclosing events as well as when the data is created in the my.settings. using my.mysettings, my.settings and my.settings.default. Thank you in advance for your input.
This first method is a called when a button is pushed. it checks the text and then calls the next method (AddProperty) which should add the property to my.settings and save it to user.config, but my understanding is that it is not written to the file till the applicatoin closes.

VS 2008 Settings Are Read From App.config Instead Of Settings-file
Oct 30, 2009I 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.

VS 2008 File Association And Opening Program From Save File
Jul 20, 2009I'm having a slight problem getting my program to load a save file when double clicking the save file.I'm using the Command$() to get the command line argument. I can open a save file by dragging it onto the exe. But not by double clicking the save file (after it's associated with the exe).I though dragging and dropping a file on a program and double clicking the file would open it in the same way, but I guess not.So in short how does file association work and how do I get the file path set to a var when the program loads.

Make Application 'single File' And Get Rid Of XML Config File?
Dec 29, 2010I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?
