I am trying tp update app.config setting on button click.But I am still not able tp update the settings.Here is the code

I've trying to access an appsettings key value in my vb.net 2.0 web application.I've put the key in the app.config file:
<appSettings>
<add key="DownloadURL" value="http://<myURL>/" />
</appSettings>
I've followed the instructions here, and it says that I need to access this key like so:
URL = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DownloadURL")
But I get the following message:
Public Shared Readonly property
AppSettings() As
'System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection'
[code]....
I tried to replace the old method with the new one, but it does not exist.Strange, since I've done a similar thing with a web app and it did exist there.
why are application settings stored in "applicationSettings" when the ConfigurationManager is looking in the old appSettings area in a config file?
View 6 RepliesWhat is the purpose of the <Clear > XML element within the <AppSettings> tag in an application's config file?I see it removes previously added settings (see code below), but why would you want to do that? [code]I also understand that when manipulating app settings in code you could clear existing keys, but why have the <clear> XML element?Also, out of habit really, i've been putting the <clear> element before any <add> elements. Do i need to do this, should i not be doing this?
View 2 RepliesI've been linking to an external config file using <appSettings file="blah"> since VS 2003. I just created my first 2010 project, and I get no data from my file, nor any error. [edit]This functionality works as expected when I point to 3.5 framework.Another note, if I copy the other config to the debug directory and reference it by file name it works. When I use the UNC path it doesn't. The UNC path has worked for many of my past projects. Maybe it's a 4.0 security setting somewhere?

I'm writing an application for a device running Windows XP. There are 2 versions of the device and each version has its own API to communicate with the device's software. The application I'm writing needs to pull the same data from the API. My question is how to write a application that will detect at runtime which version of the device it is on and use the appropriate API.
I've created an interface containing all of the common methods and also classes for each device that implement the interface. Now I need to know how to activate the correct one at runtime.
Public Interface IAPI
Sub InitializeMachine()
Function GetActiveProgram() As String

I'm writing a Windows form application. I created a SQL database called myDB.mdf. The database/form connection was created using the wizard provided by VS2008. The connection string, table adapter, dataset, etc were all generated automatically. In runtime, I copied the database to several folders and I want to the application to connect to them one by one and do some data manipulation.
Here below are the relevant code I'm using:

I have multiple urls to the same webservice, each with it's own "token". I need to switch from one url to another during runtime. I have planned to do this by storing my URLs inside a XML-file, and then read it, copy innertext of an element and overwrite the WS url in my app.config. My app reads and write to xml just fine, it is when I actually use a method from the webserivice proplems start to appear.

I am creating a program that will be sold as a subscription. I am trying to decide how to prevent users from passing the program to others without purchasing it. I was thinking that on the very first run, the program could pull the MAC address from the computer it is run on, and create a constant at run time. This constant is then hard wired into the program and is used for comparison every time the program is run thereafter. If the MAC address do not match, it is on a different computer.
How do I recompile my .exe to include a globally declared constant used for comparison? And how do I use this variable throughout my program?Or is there a simpler way to create my program to require Key Codes for renewal once per year?
I did something that when I now load my program(VB 2008), my controls; combo boxes, buttons, progress bar, etc. look like they are from VB 2005 or like VBA buttons, not the rounded edge buttons of 2008.
They look like vb 2008 controls while I am in design view, but then they change their style when I run the program..

I'm trying to figure out how I can change a ListView's "Large ImageList" to another one at runtime. For example I have it attached to my Icons_64x64 ImageList right now but would want an option to switch it to Icons_128x128 at runtime. Hope that makes sense and someone has an idea out there. I haven't been able to come up with anything at all.

[Code]...
and then in the Form1_load sub and before calling the data adapter to fill data, insert codes below:
Dim strConnectingSting = NewConnectionString
My.Settings.RunTimeConnectionString = strConnectingSting
The method works but only for the first database. I found once adapter.fill is called and the connection to a database is established, the connection can't be changed.To do what I want, I have to create a startup project to call my main project. When I want to change connection, close the main project and start again.
I'm making a custom control that can be dragged around and it is semi transparent. I need it so that while it is moving (the mousemove event) that if it intersects a control that its parent becomes that control. I tried to have it iterate through all the controls and if control.bounds.intersectswith me.clientrectangle then me.parent = control type thing, but it did not work.
