Emulate The Application.settings File's Ability?
May 9, 2011
if there was a way to emulate the application.settings file's ability to do something like the following:
If I add an item to the settings file editor say Variable1 with a a value of "foo"
I can then go to my.settings.default. (and at this point) Variable1 is item that is an option after I type the '.'
Is there a way to do this for a collection? To where I have
Collection1. (and when I press '.' the name of an item would show up?)

I want define where my application and user settings files will be located.I would also like to rename them.For example my project will have a number of folders located inside the application folder when deployed.One of those folders is labelled "Cfg" and i want my application settings files to be saved in there.This is including the user settings, i dont want to localize the user settings file as is done automatically (at least not at this stage).

I'm trying to use the following command:
Dim xmlFilePath As String = _
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("XmlFilePath")
to retrieve the following setting:
<applicationSettings>
<MySolution.WebProject.My.MySettings>
<setting name="XmlFilePath" serializeAs="String">
[Code]....
However, xmlFilePath shows up as Nothing after that line of code is run.
What's the correct code to get a setting out of the web.config file in an ASP.NET application?
NOTE: Although you can add keys individually to the <appsettings> tag, I'm trying to figure out how to use it with the "Settings" tab in the project's properties.

Using VB2008 Express and I have a group box and in Propities|application Settings I have the backcolour set so that it is saved when the program closes. I have noticed in the "Settings. settings" file it has the default colours, but how do I get them?
<Setting Name="GroupBox1" Type="System.Drawing.Color" Scope="User">
<Value Profile="(Default)">235, 235, 235</Value>
</Setting>

I have been searching and posting regarding this problem and have found nothing to aid me. Discussion is either on web.config files or deal only with external files for connection strings or earlier versions of vb.net not 2008.I have already successfully put connection strings into an external config file, but trying the same approach with application settings has failed.There are two sections of the app.config involved with application settings.
1. the configuration and config sections at the top of the config. file where the section group and the section name are described.
2. the actually data for the application settings by section group section name which appears in the body of the configuraton section of the app.config.[code]

How do I save my settings in the same folder of my application is in .INI file.[code]And how do I delete the app.config folder in the AppData Local dir?Because what I noticed is.. It creates new folders everytime I release a new version of my application.It doesn't consume much space though but still it creates new folder corresponding to the application version.

I 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.

Is there a way to maintain application modified Settings in the settings files after a program update? i.e. I have 10 or so values in the settings file and the users can modify them... when I send a program update they revert back to what I initially programmed them to be.

i have created a user setting named 'setmeup' as string, scope = user, value = "magical meow meow!".in my code i access it and assign it a new value like this...my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!"my.settings.save()application.restart()when the application restarts, i expect the my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" but when i check its contents its still "magical meow meow!".but when i use application.exit() instead of application.restart() and manually restart the program, my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" which is correct.what must i do? i want to use application.restart() because i don't want the users to double-click the icon again to start the program. i want the program to restart automatically.

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 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"?

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..

Which 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.

If 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?

1.What codec should i use? I have NAudio, will that work?
2.Is there any examples or tutorials on how to do this, any at all? (i couldn't find any)

I have a need to add the ability to receive SNMP traps into one of my server apps (written in VB 2005). I have setup a UDP listener on port 162 (SNMP trap port) and can successfully get the trap message in a byte array no probs.
The problem is that I have no idea how to make a meaningfull message from this byte array. Does anyone have any pointers / code to either translate into a meaningfull message stream or a better way of adding this type of functionality (without adding 3rd party dll's etc).

When it comes to Backgroundworker's, I just make a total mess, even after reading over and over again the Backgroundworker component info on the msdn site... I have a code I would like to run on the form but if I do it with a simple "Public Sub" it will make the form lag, freeze, until the operation is done. So I try to paste the same code into a backgroundworker, and use Runworkerasync, but I get errors stating that the backgroundworker can't access controls on the form.

I have a system on my webbrowser that allows the user to choose their Search Engine out of a selection I organized. the down point is that I have it set so when they click save it will just hide, because if it closes the settings will be reset and not saved. However I want them to save. Here are my codes to the search button:
Private Sub Search_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Search.Click
If SearchEngines.RadioButton1.Checked Then
CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).Navigate("http:www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=" & SearchBar.Text & "&btnG=Google+Search&meta=")
[code]....
This is the code of save:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Hide()
End Sub
I would like it so it saves when the whole program is closed, so when they start up it's automatically set so they can search on their favourite search engine.

So I am trying to make a program where the user is limited in moving the mouse to a form. I still want the user to see whats going on behind the form but not be able to click on anything but my form.
I tried using this
Cursor.Clip = Me.RectangleToScreen(Me.ClientRectangle)
The problem is that if the user clicks in certain spots on the titlebar...the mouse is unlocked. The machines this is going on has a ball type of mouse so if you scroll fast and click fast enough...it can also unlock.
