how would I do a loop with different my.settings variables?
ie lots of variables
My.Settings.numberofsites = 3
My.Settings.SiteDesc1 = Home
My.Settings.SiteDesc2 = Work
[Code]....
This would give me an error as there is no variable called SiteDesc.... but I actually want it to return SiteDesc1, then SiteDesc2 etc.
How do I rearrange the Settings variables in VB.Net 2010 to be near the ones they are related to? I edited the app.config file to rearrange them, but when VB loaded again they were still shown in the old order.
View 2 RepliesIm studying vb coding at the moment and im designing a reasonably small text based game using the windows console and so far i have a nice working game but the main problem is that the game restarts when you end the console, obvious i know. Been trawling through pages looking at different ways to save multiple variables for multiple uses such as a save/load feature and most pages have confused me, people asking for help with commands im not common with. So far i've tried using my settings to save the variables in a test program but can't get it to work?I have in settings a variable called gold with a scope of user as an integer and i have this code to try and utilise it

View 4 RepliesWhich is the best way to store global variables, in My.Settings or My.Namespace. The reason I ask is because I need to know certain boolean values if certain forms are open from other forms. At present I am defining Global Boolean variables in My.Application, which give the result I require.

I'll try to be brief, In short im trying to add together a variable, (name = STRFinValue) within a For loop, I think the syntax should be:
STRTotal = STRFinValue +STRFinValue(f)

[code].....
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

what if you created a pool of numbers: 1 - 21 and then chose a random selection from the pool? Something like the following:[code]This gets rid of those messy if statements and all of those loops.
View 1 RepliesI need to assign variables dynamically in a loop. In php you would use curly brackets but this doesn't work in vb.

This program asks the user for a number and then an amount to multiply it with and that amount should be added to the initial number. I need to loop because I am trying to display what the amount would be each day for a certain amount of days but in this loop its only calculating for the total .how to get the variables to change value to the updated day. I understand that its just keeping the same value in the variables I just need a push on how to get it to update the values through each loop.

I have some variables that are distinct by numbers, like in1, in2...If I have for loop, how would I access those variables, using the counter, and attaching it to the variable?I believe in JAVA, you could just use in+ct... where ct is the counter to access the variable.also how could you make a new variable in the for loop?Initially I had variables declare outside of the for loop. The problem was how to access those variables using the for loop.
var_nm1 = in1.Text
var_nm2 = in2.Text
var_nm3 = in3.Text
Dim nmList(2) As Integer

In my loop I am trying to remove items from a list that have a certain name. I can't do this with a for-each, so I tried a regular for-loop. It seems the for loop is not working as expected. It always goes over the limit. I had to put an if-then to break out of the loop (very ugly solution). I'm trying to find the correct way to accomplish this. [code]...
View 1 RepliesThis is my first attempt at doing something in VB.net. I would like to be able to read a text file consisting of a column of data values and then pass the data as a variable to a sub that produces a line graph and updates it with each iteration through the loop. So far I have the code to read the file as well as some code that produces a line graph using hard coded values.
I am unsure how to call this sub from my loop such that I can pass that data value read from the file to the graphing sub.
How can I call the "PictureBox1_Paint" sub from my loop? How can I pass variables read from the data file to "PictureBox1_Paint" when I am calling it? Is there anything different that needs to be done if I want the graph to update with each iteration through the loop (for each data point)?

View 6 RepliesMakes the following statement about the code below:
**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.
Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?
See below.

Last year (2010) I came across a FANTASTIC command that allowed me to take a string of variables with a common delimiter and break it all back out into separate variables (possibly an array) with one statement.
[Code]...
As long as the delimiter was a unique specifiable character, this one-statement command could break it out into elements. my memory and point me in the right direction.
I have code, shown below, that works all except for 1 thing: The variables being passed byRef get passed, but once modified in the else section of the "if me.invokerequired" code of RecordData, the variables are never updated in the calling function. To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]
View 15 RepliesThe company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.

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.
View 3 RepliesI am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..
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.
