Visual Basic 2010 - Use Settings To Save Users Background?
Apr 23, 2012
I am working on an virtual operating system. And I want the user to be able to change background, and at the same time save it! So, the next time he opens the application, the background is saved and changed.
I know that I have do this through project > settings, but I don't know how to program it. I have managed to allow the user to change background, but dont how to save it. Could anyone solve this little problem for me?

I'm trying to save a setting that keeps what background image I'm currently using.If it's an external file, there is no problem, i can just get the .location and set it in a String setting to store it.
But, if I want to store an image resource as a setting, how do i do it?I know i can store rawdata, like bitmap information, but then i can't set that type of data to the my.background.
I don't know if the question should be: "how do i reference resources", but the my.resources.resource.methodsList doesnt contain anything that seems to be of use.

how do I do this properly:
vb
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[code]....
I would like to store some app data in a 'default system folder', so when I launch the program it will know where to look for it's own settings.As a matter of fact I only need to store there a path to the files used by the program. Users will be able to choose where to put them (simplified installation). The program has to know where to look for them.
Am I creating the folder properly? As you can see I'm referring to C:... The folder structure presented here comes from my laptop running on Windows 7 Ultimate. Maybe the C:... can be somehow defined by some sort of a system 'shortcut'. Following the above example the program would look for those in C:... , but maybe I can use something like ~~ default.app.settings.My Program Name ~~~. How does it work? Have no idea how to call it properly, but I'm sure you will know what I mean.

My project is using Visual Basic 2010. I have a pure text save file with the following format:
num_TEC|1
num_STR|0
num_PER|0
num_MEC|1
num_KNO|1
num_DEX|1
I'm trying to load the data by using the first column as the object name and the second as the value. I've had some success with the following (skipping some basic IO lines):
prop = FileReader.ReadLine().Split("|")
tempvar = prop(0)
If TypeName(Me.Controls(tempvar)) = "NumericUpDown" Then
Me.Controls(tempvar).Value = prop(1)
I have a problems with this because I have some objects in panels or group boxes and Me doesn't reach into them.
Is there a way to just strictly reference an object with a variable? I'd love to assign the first column into prop(0) and just say
if TypeName(object(prop(0))) = "NumericUpDown" then
object(prop(0)).Value = prop(1)

How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.

We are testing the visual basic 2010 ee in one of the computing suites at a secondary high school. The installation was fine When we tried opening or saving a project it saves it into a default location i.e my documents. The problem withthis is pupils dont have access to c:. They their own drive on the network (h:) where they save their work. When i went and changed the settings in VB in tool > options.

I'm writing a windows application and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. It wouldn't be a difficult program, except that I'd like to support more than one user and with each user I need to have many, many different settings change instead of, say, two or three. I'm wondering if there's a standard ideal way of storing large amounts of settings for different users?
I'll try to describe what I'm trying to do here..At the moment I have an Access database (for easy deployment) with about 60-something tables. 66 tables are named after books, and each have a different number of chapters. Each of those tables contains one row for every chapter plus a CheckState field that contains a 0 or a 1. I also have a simple Users table with a UserName and UserID field, and another AllBooks table with data for every book, like the name and the number of chapters.
When I user is selected, I have a listbox that displays every book (taken from the AllBooks table) and then a checkedlistbox that displays the chapters of the selected book and automatically checks off different boxes depending on the CheckState field.
So but I'm a bit stumped on how to implement different users... instead of tons and tons of different tables should I have a different table for each user that have 60-something columns...? I dont know enough about relational databases to make the right call.

What would be the best and easiest way to change background image in a VB application from images that are preselected by user from any given folder on the hard disk.
So say "Mike" selects some images in D:ImagesNature in the Nature folder we have lets say "20" images. Now the VB app reads this and saves path so next time its open its fetching images from that folder once more. And every few sec lets say 45 sec a new image is loaded for background.

I have a form which has a textbox named "textbox1", and a button named "Button 1". Button 1 is meant to be a submission for textbox1 (i.e. when button1 is pressed, the value of textbox1 is saved and remembered). I want the value of textbox1 to be remembered on any computer, but I need it to be update-able too.I tried using settings to do this like so:
Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.TextBox1.Text = My.Settings.TextBox1
End Sub
[code]....
but the problem in doing this is it only works for the current user. When the application is then put on another computer the value is blank.

Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?

I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.
