Is it possible with VB .NET to make the program use specific regional settings? More precisely , I want to make my application always use the English regional settings (those defined from Control panel > Regional settings) in order to always use (and calculate) the decimal numbers by using the dot symbol ( . ) as decimal separator , regardless the settings on the current PC (in order to avoid forcing the user to change his Regional settings) ?
View 7 RepliesWith my program I wanted to change the fixed connection string to a User entered one. So in the application settings I added DBConnectionString as a user define String. If the string if empty, it shows the window where one can add the server, database and user name / password. If you press the OK button, it saves the settings:
Private Sub LDBOKBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LDBOKBtn.Click
' ----- Server name is required.
If (Trim(LDBServer.Text) = "") Then
MsgBox("The Server or Host name is required.", _
[code]....
The problem is that when you press the same button to show the System Settings again, the ConnectionString is empty again. So nothing was saved.
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"?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 6 RepliesIs it possible for a program to make new settings?
To enter the settings name, type, scope, value?
How do you make a program remember settings. For example, first it prompts you for your name, then when you close out of it and start it again, it will display your name?

I would like to make a Settings Field (SKey) to point to a constant (Q)
Where the Settings Value will be modified by the user using Text box and public const Q = keys.Q so I can let the user modify a hotkey to what ever he wants I wished to use the following code for registering the Hotkey
Public Const Q = Keys.Q 'My.Settings.SKey should points to this variable
'There will be more constants for other keys
RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, 1, HCtrl + HAlt, My.Settings.SKey)
the problem is:
the program use MY.settings.SKey as String and I cannot define it as integer where the input is a text
I'm trying to make a webbrowser in VB 2010 just for fun. I'm trying to make a settings menu but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Form2.ShowDialog() won't work. I'm a total newb to VB so I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.

One feature I hope to include involves a splash screen check the state of a Boolean (True/False) at launch and then open the appropriate form.

The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.
I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.

View 2 Replies1. I can't find the file which reflects changes to user settings. This might be because I just can't find it (I can see a bunch of user.config files but they are all empty - weird!), or...

Regarding 2. - do I need to invoke
Is this all I need? And if so, why are my user.configs empty?
I'm working with an Treeview and i'm new at it and i have 2 questions.
1. How can i save the treeview items, to settings (my.settings.history)
2. How can i save the treeview items as an TXT or XML file or another exception.
my old vb6 program used to store to ini files now with .net I rekon I need to do something new.. was thinking XML but then in searching around I stumbled apon this my.settings stuff.. so I followed the instructions but something strange is going one..
1. whats the difference between the standard my.settings and adding a new class that is of settings ? anything ?
2. I made 10 new settings in the setting manager but when I try to change then it gives me the old squiggle line saying no go.
