I'm having trouble saving, or better yet, retrieving a datatable from user settings My.Settings. I've created a user setting of type System.Data.Datatable, and am able to save the datatable to it at run-time by setting it as an instance of the datatable I am trying to save, and assigning it that datatable as such:

View 2 RepliesI'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 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.

View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesI 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 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.

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.
View 4 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...
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 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?
