I'm working on program that has two forms. The main form is called 'frmMain'. Second form is called 'FrmHistory'. In the History form, you can check a number of combo boxes to set settings for a grid.
This works.Now, when I close the FrmHistory form and then open it again, I have it so those combo boxes (Settings) are how I left them. This works. I do so via this.

my settings work, they work great to be exact. But theres a problem, if the user renames the executable to something else, all the settings are lost. Are there anyways to prevent the settings from being lost after the user renames the executable? I'm using My.Settings?

I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?

I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

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.

I 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"?

I've been working on a little project recently which is a music player (unoriginal I know, but I'm just learning ). Basically, I want the items that have been added into the listbox to be remembered for the next time the application is opened so that you don't have to re-add the items. The items show up like this (because they are added from my documents): C:UsersEthanDocumentsMusicCage The Elephant - Aint No Rest For the Wicked.mp3?

I would like to change the dropdown list and whenever I make some changes it should auto post back and triggers a selectedindexchanged event for drop down list. I am having problem where it does auto post back but doesnt remember what I selected, it refreshes my page and item that i selected gets lost. I would like to do this without AJAX call. But, if AJAX is the only option, I am open to it.
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlProjectEditor" CssClass="ddlProjectEditor" Autopostback="true" runat="server" >

My issue is when I read from an existing executable and convert it to string and back to executable windows says it is not a recognized 32 bit or 64 bit application? The code below is real code I have rewritten many times but to no avail. If I leave out the part where I convert the bytes to string and just copy the binary and create a new exe with the binary the program works. But the whole concept of string converting back to valid binary has me stumped? This is Visual Basic 2008 code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim tempPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath

I set up some application settings for checkboxes on an app and then decided to remove them. When I set the Application Settings to (none) in the designer and restarted the app, the checkbox constantly checks and unchecks itself. I completely remade the app and removed the file that is used to store my.settings in the Local folder of the user's appdata profile. I also made sure to uncheck the "save my.settings" on shutdown.

Alright, for a school project i'm making a filecrypter, and i need to load the executable directly into the memory.
For those that don't know it yet, a crypter consists of a crypter, and a seperate "stub"
the crypter crypts the file, and the stub is binded to the file, and upon execution, the stub is executed, and in turn executes the file it's bound to.
I have a RunPE sub, and on itself it works fine
Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Imports System.Reflection
Public Class Form1

VS sets your project up with the default directory structure: ...indebug which also seems to contain some other files besides your dll (I assume these are related to the debug symbols, etc).So how do you set it up to copy your dll to another directory when debugging?Right now, I'm having to manually copy the built dll with every run and that's getting to be a bit annoying.I'm using VS 2008?

i am trying to open an external executable file during runtime using a process component and the process.start() method. I've been testing out my code with various executable files on my C: drive....some work and some do not work. I've been able to successfully open Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, and Notepad; however, when I try opening various other executables the following exception gets thrown:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll
I cannot figure out why some programs open just fine while others cause the above exception to be thrown.

What i need exactly is to make a program that have a button called "browse" , when the user clicks it , it prompts the explorer and let the user choose a .exe file, then theres another button called "merge", when the user clicks it, i want the file that was already selected to be merged with one that will be already on my project, and the result would be a single executable file, that will open the 2 .exe files when running it. Obviously i could do all the steps, but im stuck on the file merging part.

I want one of my applications to send an HTML email message to a user with a hyper link in it to start up an executable with arguments passed to it. It works fine if I just specify the executable path with no arguments. But if I pass the arguments then Outlook says it can't find the file. Here is the line that I add to the email message body to start the exe only:
