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.
When I save settings for an application using My.Settings.Save it saves it in %AppData%LocalCompanyname. Because I don't want my app to be installed and I want it to be a just .exe file, and it leaves some files on that computer. I like it to be in my apps location. Can I change that default location?

I need to save some string settings at runtime and read them back. They will need to be changed at anytime during runtime also. The examples I have found says they are obsolete for vs2008. how to save and read some string settings? I found alot for the application settings that to me are ones you set once for the app like in an asp.net site. I need to change these anytime like you would in a registry.

What is the correct way to handle saving user control settings on form close. I have a tabcontrol that a user can add tabpages during runtime. The user control has a few controls (listbox,combobox,textbox) How can I save the created tabpages and the data in each control in the usercontrol? Below is how I am calling my usercontrol
Code Public Class TabPageEx Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabPage
[code]....
I seem to be a little lost as most documentation seems to suggest that I can not save usercontrol settings in the app.config. I have played around with the solution expl. settings tab without much success. But, then again I may be going about it all wrong. So, I am looking for a little direction on the best way to handle this on form close.
I'm having trouble getting the objects of the PageSetupDialog and the PrintDialog to persist in my.settings Is there an example of this anywhere? Seems like it should be something there is a boiler plate for so I can see where I have gone wrong.Added a System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings and System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings entries in my.settings but even trying to save these form the results of the dialogs they show as nothing with out a error.
I am working with that app.config for the first time and am having a bit of trouble getting it to work. I was able to get the most recent opened files added but can't seem to get it saved.
Here is the load event
Private Sub frmPrefsDialog_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load If My.Settings.RecentOpen Is Nothing Then
If NewEntryName.Text = "" And OpenFileDialog1.FileName = Nothing Then MsgBox("Please choose a name for your game.", vbExclamation) MsgBox("Please find your game.", vbExclamation) Else Button1.Text = NewEntryName.Text
I am looking for the best way for settings within settings. Example would be an IRC network list. Which will be displayed as desired writing. If i clicked edit on that network it would bring up another form with that networks setting. Take xchat for example. what would you say would be best suited? XML seems more suited.
I've a project called G.S.S. There's a 2 forms in the G.S.S and a checkbox on the form2. I added these codes:[code]Then I created an another example project to try these on, added 2 forms, a checkbox on form2 and wrote same codes. I wondered when I run the app because it's running perfect. It saves the settings.So what's wrong with my G.S.S project?
I have been trying to get this to work for the past hour, I have an arraylist that contains string() items inside of it, I want to be able to save it and retrieve it.. When I try to save something to it and then close my application and turn it back on, everything I saved is gone.
I need to have my application to prompt the user to see if he wants to save the settings or not before the application exits.I got this to work this way: I added an event handler to My.Application.Shutdown. This event handler does prompt the user and save the settings if the user answers "Yes".But in order to stop the application to save the settings anyway via its regular way, I have to set My.Application.SaveMySettingsOnExit to falseAs I said, it works, but it just look like a bad logic to set SaveMySettingsOnExit to false to have it to save the settings saved on exit with a prompt.
My question is: is there a way to get it work like this: -SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =True ( Save and Prompt) -SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =false ( Save and no Prompt)
I'm working on a project that users can add new tabs, buttons, textboxes, Excel forms(existing or new) or sth. else to the application. How could it be possible to save these changes?

Im studying vb coding at the moment and im designing a reasonably small text based game using the windows console and so far i have a nice working game but the main problem is that the game restarts when you end the console, obvious i know. Been trawling through pages looking at different ways to save multiple variables for multiple uses such as a save/load feature and most pages have confused me, people asking for help with commands im not common with. So far i've tried using my settings to save the variables in a test program but can't get it to work?I have in settings a variable called gold with a scope of user as an integer and i have this code to try and utilise it
I recently noticed that exceptions were not getting caught by Visual Studio (I'm using VS 2008 Standard) - e.g I could do this and run the program[code]...
and the debugger would not kick in and tell me something had gone wrong, the program would just continue running as normal.I remembered someone on here helping me fix this a while ago by pressing Ctrl + Alt + E to bring up the exception handling settings, so I did that again and ticked the Common Runtime Language exceptions box (Throw) and then all worked fine again.The problem is, this setting does not seem to be getting saved - each time I restart VS I have to set it again, which is annoying to say the least... especially when I forget and then get confused when my program isnt working properly.
VB 2010 Express, Windows 7 The settings on the main form save properly. My problem is that I have a usercontrol that is changed to a tabpage that I use to 'clone' tabs. Is there a way to save the cloned tabs along with there settings?

I'm writing a search tool. Setting the search parameters requires adjusting the values of over 70 different controls on my form.I want to make a list of saved searches. Is there an easy way to do so? Does VB have any built in features to save and load the current values of every control on the form?I could code it by hand. But this would be tedious, especially up to 15 listboxes, where I would need to save each item in the list and note whether they are checked or not. I really hope VB has a way of saving the entire form at once.
I have two different 2-dimensional arrays. I assume the setting i need to save them to is a string setting, as is the cast with regular integer arrays. The first 2-d array I need to save is an integer, the second a decimal.
Let's say the settings are called my.settings.2darray1 and my.settings.2darray2 Let's also say the arrays are:
vb
dim 2darray1(50, 99) as integer dim 2darray2(50, 99) as decimal
What would the code be to load each array and save each array?
