View 8 RepliesI 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.

I'm trying to save a collection of key/value settings in my application's "user settings" (they're column widths), but while I see no errors, when I run the code (in the IDE) my collection in "My.Settings" is always nothing at startup. I do a "My.Settings.Save" when the application exits, and barring the "serializers not found" errors in the IDE, no other errors occur. When I run my application as an exe, it behaves the same way..

View 14 RepliesWhich is the best way to store application and user settings of an application running with multiple instances?My problem is that using the vb's "Application Settings" one instance would overwrite the other one.I want to identify each instance with a number passed via command line argument. I could use this number to identify the appropriate settings of the running instance, but I see in a local INI o XML file a better way to handle that.
View 1 RepliesIf I create a user level application setting and bind it to a text box on a form, then type something in the textbox, the value is automatically saved and when the application is launched again the value appears in the textbox. This doesn't happen when I scope the setting as application.
Why are application scoped settings not saved automatically like user scoped settings are?
If this is by design, how can I manually save these settings and load them at runtime?
I'm back, and ive continued with my browser. I've added some cool new features but right now im hitting an old problem i forgot about. Basically ive added a music player to my browser.

View 4 RepliesWe use a number of VB6 DLLs in classic ASP, using Server.CreateObject in the ASP page. The DLL code has recently (as a test) been converted to VB.Net 2008, and all the obvious issues that usually arise have been dealt with, meaning we are now able to use a .Net version of the DLL in classic ASP using interop (by using regasm to register the assembly for use in COM). The code that the converter added to the objects to make them usable in COM was <System.Runtime.InteropServices.ProgId("My.ObjectName")>, just before each class definition.
We have started noticing an inconsistent performance issue when using this new version of the DLL vs. the VB6 version in that it can sometimes take much longer to perform some tasks (even the task of constructing the objects from the DLL). In fact the same unit of work, including some DB work - now through interop ADO - can vary wildly (This is not limited to ADO work though!). We have started looking into this to try to figure out if it's some constant source of inefficiency, or if it's a load issue (threading related maybe).
I cannot seem to find a straight answer to the issue of threading when converting the code base. The DLL in VB6 is configured to use "Apartment Threading", the only other option being "Single Threading". Is this something that requires attention and is relevant when converting to .Net given we are still using the DLL through COM, and does anyone know what needs changing/configuring/checking?
Can you create new settings from the code view? Like if you wanted to add a new user, you could add a new settings for that user.

View 9 RepliesMy VB.net application has a lot of application settings, is it possible to group them somehow(other than having a common name)?For example, my application has a lot of winforms each of which needs to save some information about itself. Is it possible to use something like:

Form2.width = My.Settings.Form2.Width
etc.
Im using vb 2010 Express. I use 'Application settings' to store "demo version exp. date" of my program. My program stores the settings in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_fbujq51flndh1ui4t4442ohpvlebhwej" folder.But when user copies the exe program and pastes it to another folder, the settings folder changes. I mean when user copies and pastes the exe program to another folder, the program starts to store the the settings in
"C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_zywjz0o2tyrcmd35h5j1fdq0lplbklwc"
(Different than the first address). This causes the exp date to change everytime user copy-pasts the program.. Is there any way to specify where to store the settings? I mean when the program starts i want to store the settings always in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftxxxx" folder.
Unfortunately my settings do not get saved.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm binding user settings to a bunch of controls on a WinForm dialog that has OK/Cancel buttons. While this works great to read in the bindings in, I would only like to commit binding changes if a user clicks OK, and not if they click cancel. Is there a simplistic setting to achieve this rather than managing all reading and committing myself?
Right now, let's say I have a textbox that binds to a user setting called "country". It has "United States" in it and if a user changes it to "Bolivia", that will get committed as soon as it is typed instead of when the OK button is pressed.

View 1 RepliesTo start with, I know that applications scope settings are read only, and user scope settings are read/write. My problem is this: I am creating an application which will be used in a setting where an "administrative" user (admin in this case does not denote any computer ability whatsoever- just the one in control of the computer) will be installing my application onto a computer where several users will likely use the application. I have a number of program settings which I would like the administrative user to be able to set, and have those settings be used for all users who run the program.

I'm using my.settings to store different communication parameters. After changing parameters, for several reasons, it's easier to restart the application then to re-initialize all objects/variables/etc using program code.
When I change my.settings and use save to save them. When I quit the application and manually start it again, the newly saved settings are used.
When I use either .restart, or application.exit in combination with process.start. The application will use the old values for my.settings.
If I read up on .restart there's a remark mentioning that it will restart the application using the initially used settings.
Before restarting the application, I manually checked if the new settings were really save to the user.config file, and they were.
My question: Is there a way to restart the application using either .restart, or application.exit in combination with process.start which will use the newly saved my.settings values?
