Using The .settings Files?
Feb 23, 2011how to use the .settings files and was wondering several items.(for this example let's call the settings file SettingsFile.settings)
1) After a call like
settingsfile.default.highscore = 100
settingsfile.default.save()
When you graphically set up the settings file (in the settings grid) in the solution explorer you can give initial values... is there a way to get those values back after the above call?
2) If you send a software update and the user installs it, will the settings file values persist or reset?
3) Is there a way to iterate through every setting in your .settings file? like a:
for each X in settingsfile
Persist Program Parameter And Variable Settings From One Run Of The Program To The Next?
Aug 2, 2009I want to hear some discussion regarding what is the best way to persist program parameter and variable settings from one run of the program to the next. I used to often use the ubiquitous INI type file in VB6 programs but I am aware that these are not formally supported in .Net programs. I also have a major aversion to adding to the already overwhelming bloat of the Windows registry by using that to store values.

Apr 14, 2009I am currently using vb 2008 and want it so when a user registers it will unlock all the extra features and stay that way even after the user quits and restarts the program... I already have everything set exept for the save feature. I don;t know exactly what to do.

But I don't understand what to do there...

C# - Using Settings Files (via The Designer) For Configuration?
Sep 8, 2011Every .NET project I've worked on uses an app.config file for its configuration. Fair enough. "is there a better way?" (in the spirit of continual learning of course)I guess my specific questions are:
Does it matter either way if I use app.config or settings file?Are there any scenarios where settings files should not be used e.g web sites where you should use a web.config instead?Other than not having to edit xml, are there any other benefits gained by using settings instead of app.config, e.g. its easier to deploy or maintain apps etc.
Clarification: I'll put this question another way: Can I completely ignore app.config files if I want to and keep all the configuration in a settings.cs file and interact with configuration via the designer only?

View 2 RepliesTagLib# - MP3 Files, Tagging And Images.?
Nov 28, 2009im using this MP3 tagging library called TagLib# or TagLibSharp.
Unfortunately the documentation is a bit patchy to say the least and their (Official) website, which contains all the documentation seems to have closed down, leaving me to download this MP3 tagging library from the link below.
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/TagLib_Sharp
Everything so far works, including tagging the 'Artist, Title, Album' etc. but I want to include an image in my MP3 files, like album art.I have found some sample code to read the image back from the tag using their library, I just can't work out what it would look like the other way around.
If filetotag.Tag.Pictures.Length >= 1 Then
Dim bin = DirectCast(filetotag.Tag.Pictures(0).Data.Data, Byte())
AlbumArt.Image = Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(bin)).GetThumbnailImage(115, 115, Nothing, System.IntPtr.Zero)
End If
This code above will read an existing tag and load the image into a picture box called 'Album Art'.how to 'flip' it so that it would look something like ...
filetotag.Tag.Pictures = AlbumArt.Image
Obviously using the memory stream functions etc.

View 3 RepliesVS 2005 Thumbnail Images For Files?
Aug 6, 2009Is it possible to set the image windows displays when viewing a file created in a VB.NET application? In my case I have files saved that store info on football plays for a play creator program. Can I use the image of that play as what the user will see when he searches through windows explorer?
Let me further explain with an analogy: photo files in windows have their images displayed as the user cycles through them; he chooses which one he wants to doubleclick based on the thumbnail image of the actual photo. I'd like to have a "photo" of the play itself shown instead of what is now just a blank generic grey icon for the play files that I save.
Class Library Config Files And My.Settings
May 19, 2010Say I have a Class Library project with its own .dll.config, and a forms application. I want to confirm that it is impossible to reference the .dll.config file from the .exe.config file and still use My.Settings.
For example: I have SomeClassLibrary project, with SomeSetting that I can access through My.Settings.SomeSetting. I also have SomeFormsApp project. This is what I want my SomeFormsApp.exe.config to look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
[Code].....
From my readings, this seems impossible. I either need to copy the content of SomeClassLibrary.dll.config into SomeFormsApp.exe.config, which is tedious and error prone when copying from multiple class libraries, or I need to use ConfigurationManager, which bypasses My.Settings and its typed, Intellisensed goodness.

Jan 29, 2011i've been busy with a program and it has worked out quite well. The only thing I still want is that it is possible to customize things and save that in a text file. Normally if i want an other background for one day, i need to change it in VB or make a checkbox to do that. if i then restart the program all the settings are lost and i have to set it again. so i was wondering if the program can make a text file and put codes like 1 for theme 1 and 2 for theme 2 etc. in it, then save it and load that file when it starts up again. and is this also possible for a login form? if yes, i can also add a "Create Account" button for my program instead of adding codes in VB.
