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 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.

View 4 RepliesI 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.
View 6 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI'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..

The only way I know how to do right now is to make a registry key with a specified value and call upon it when the program loads up again.
I can't do this though because I have a whole lot of data I have to save.
can you save the data in a notepad and call it line by line to save each feature?
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.
Here's how:
create a form, 1 textbox, 2 check boxes, 3 buttons named as (setbtn, getbtn, delbtn)
'1 textbox, 2 check boxes, 3 buttons as setbtn, getbtn, delbtn
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Public Class Form1
Dim reg As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("SoftwareMyApp", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree)

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?
