VS 2010 Making 'settings' File?
May 11, 2010
if we say i have a program and i want it to launch another .exe So the code of them being able to choose where it's located is "openfiledialog".But can i make it save the setting somehow, so it makes a small document/text-file thingy so it can read the locations from the file ?Or is there someway that the program remembers it ? I want it to ask for a file location first, and then next time pushing the button "start" it remembers the location ?

1. 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...
2. I'm not actually saving them when I think I am.
Regarding 2. - do I need to invoke
Is this all I need? And if so, why are my user.configs empty?

I am making an application for my school library, which lets the user see how many books have been borrowed, how many returned, and how many that have not been returned. I am using My.Settings to do this. I have no problem saving the settings, or making them change according to how many books have been returned or borrowed, but when I try to load them into a few labels, I get an error.
[code]...
This is the error I obtain:Conversion from string "Books borrowed so far: " to type 'Double' is not valid.

How do you save all the settings in a simple code; lets say you have a text box, a checkbox, and a listbox.
In the text box, it lets say you wrote hi
checkbox, you checked it off
listbox, you selected lets say HI from it.
How do you save the settings onto a file? Lets say a .cfg or whatever thats called file. Its like automatic, so that the cgf says lets say says:
NameofCheckBox=true
NameOfListBox=HI
NameOfTextBox=hi
Any way to do this stuff? I've seen some people do it, but they wont tell me how. I dont want to add all this code just to make a file that saves it & reads from it. I know the streamwriter and streamreader, but its a bit complicated.

After reading through a bunch of stuff, I was curious what production developers use for config files. I know that there is an app.config file that can be modified by the user of the program w/ settings. I also know I can create my own .xml file or .ini file to store settings as well. I wanted to know from the production side, what do you use and why?

I'm using My.Settings to store some text information which will be displayed to the user under certain conditions. What I'd like to know is whether part of the text (not all of it) can be formatted in bold?
The reason I'm storing in My.Settings is because it can be customized but not to the extent where I need to store it in a database. And while I'm at it, is it possible to format parts of MessageBox text and labels in bold, or is this an all or not at all situation i.e. changing the font property?

Is 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.

Im making a class that represents a file. Im making a sub that reads data from one byte array into many properties. Now i need something that returns a byte array but only the first 4. Let me demonstrate because i can't think of a logical way of explaining. "something".substring(0,3) That would return a string containing "som" i need a function like that for a byte array
[code]...
Is there an existing function for this type of thing ? i've looked but didn't see anything that I understood.

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"?

on my program i have an activation in it and in order to activate the program you need to enter a code that is stored in the settings. so i was looking through my computer and i found the programs config file. and so I opened it and i found all of the codes for the activation. I need to find out how to make the file so the user doesn't have access to it and then how to move it to a more hidden place in the C: drive.

I'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?

i am making a game in which the file stream gets a certain file(lets say a.txt) and it reads it, if it has certain values stored in the file it returns boolean(this is a function), then a sub procedure writes to the file using a streamwriter and a filestream using the same file. I am having problems, sometimes visual basic says that another process is using the file, this is before i closed the filestreams and the streamwriter or streamreader, then it gives me errors when i close the files, it tells me that it can't access a file that is already closed, i thought the filestream gets the file and lets the streamreader or streamwriter read or write to the filefound out the problem?

I have 2 settings in my application, username and password.
When a user types in a username and password in my text fields i wanted it to save these values to the application settings that i set.
Now it does this fine while the application is up. If i close the app, and reopen it, the application settings are removed, and back to default.

How the logic is confusing. I was thinking of making a Variable that stores the time NOW and once the uploads 1 file, another variable will take the time and subtract it from the old time and times it by the number of files left. Or as you can see I have a little % calculation there and I could use that to calculate the amount of time left.Will that be consistent? Or are there other ways to achieve the result
