View 3 RepliesI 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.

Console.WriteLine(Properties.Settings.Default.SomeValue);
The Settings class is autogenerated in the file Settings.Designer.cs.Now I have the case where a dll need's to read the settings from the Main Application's config file. Is there a simple way to achive this? Currently I am reading the file as an XML Document.

I'm using VB.net to open the files. More specifically
doc = word.Documents.Open(path, Type.Missing, False, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)
I'm trying to create an app to launch at start up that will ask you what applications you want launching, or if you want all your favorite app's to start up etc. But before I go any further, I think its crucial to know how to save settings that a user has entered (such as program location and name in this case) so that he/she doesn't have to enter them every time at start up.
So far I have just made this, can anyone tell me how I would get it to save the settings entered?
Code:
Option Explicit On

View 13 RepliesI have a form to calculate some settings. It works just fine. I will input some decimal numbers to 8 deferent Textboxes. For example I input 40.0098 to textbox1. When I press a button my form will calculate these setting, and it will generate some new values. What I want to do is save the user inputs and the generated values to a text file each input or value has its own line it should by after the name of that input or value so the user could read the info contain in this text file, so per say line 1 of this text file will represent the input of textbox 1. it should save it as "parameter 1 = 40.0098" to line 1 of the text file I also want to be able to load this text file to my form (only specific lines) when I press another button I should get a dialog box to be able to select the text file, once I do that my form should read line one and only the input what after the "=" so textbox1 should now show 40.0098 only.
