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.
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.
Is it possible to use FileSave to save a richTextBoxs content with a fixed save path, without needing to go thru the save dialogue to select save location.
I set up some application settings for checkboxes on an app and then decided to remove them. When I set the Application Settings to (none) in the designer and restarted the app, the checkbox constantly checks and unchecks itself. I completely remade the app and removed the file that is used to store my.settings in the Local folder of the user's appdata profile. I also made sure to uncheck the "save my.settings" on shutdown.
I have a app config file with a filewatch file path as a setting. This way the user can change that file path easily on site. My problem comes into play when the file path, usually to another computer on the network is not valid, then I will get a not so nice microsoft error. I would like to catch this error, and put in a friendly msgbox to tell the user it's just an invalid file path. But the file watch is on my first form on the program, and having the catch on the onload of the form is not soon enough. I can catch the error on the form1.designer.vb, but I don't think your suppose to modify that. Cause when I do, bad things happen, like i'm not able to get my form in design mode.
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..
I am using My.Settings to store the path of my crystal reports. Now I wish to place my crystal reports within local execute path. So how do I set within My.Settings to detect the local run path?I tried putting application.localuserappdatapath in application settings which return back as a string.

I have a textbox in my program which refers to the user specified path. Everytime the program is started it retrieve the setting : Private Sub frmmain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load If My.Settings.path <> "" And My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(My.Settings.path) = True Then txtpath.Text = My.Settings.path ElseIf My.Settings.path = "" Then When I try the program on my own system there is no problem. But the customers said that everytime they start the program the messagebox popups and they have to choose the path again and again.

It's just a login form that is supposed to save your connection settings, but it won't save my values; they revert to the previous values every time I run the program. Does the IDE just not save your settings, or am I doing something wrong?

It saves the settings to the registry, loads the preset settings, and if you want to uninstall the app, you can use the delete settings, which deletes the registry folder for you app.

Apparently the system.collection.arraylist does not work since it is more of a list than anything else. Is there some sort of collection that will save my array as is so that it can be retained latter on application load?
I use a textbox AutoCompleteCustomSource to save recent entries within a textbox and obviously, then autocomplete them when the user enters a matching value. When the application is closed then re-opened these values are lost.
I believe I can save the values using My.Settings but I haven't been able to get it to work.
I created a setting 'AutoCompleteList' of type System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteStringCollection in the Project properties > Settings area.[code]...
What I am trying to do is serialize an object map and store it in My.Settings. There appears to be no data type that can be used in My.Settings that would hold a byte array other than a string. Therefore, I encoded the byte array from the serialization and turned it into an ASCII string, but it wasn't a true representation of the bytes, and the deserialization failed. Converting the bytes to an ASCII string apparently chops some of the bytes down to 7 bits, which hoses the conversion.
Before I get into anything too bizarre, I figured I might as well put the question here: Is there a way to stuff a byte array into My.Settings?
i know about the My.Settings but i need to know how to save all the settings in a .ini Text file for example I GOT A SOURCE :: BUT THE GET SETTINGS DOESN'T WORK || Save settings DOES work
