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?
View 5 RepliesHow do you save an array or an arraylist in vb.net using My.Settings? I cannot find the array type anywhere, even in the browse window.I absolutely need to be able to save this.I know I can convert the array to a string, but I do not know how to convert a string to an array. I know that if I were to break it at a delimiter then I could convert a string to an array, but my problem is that any text at all could be stored within the array as a single value, so I cannot pick a delimiter that is likely to be used.
View 3 RepliesI have some code in a module:
Public esUsefullitems as new arraylist
That declares my list and I am using a simple structure to store data in but what I was wondering how can I save the arraylist to my.settings without getting a nasty object reference is not set to an instance of an object error, I know this involves using the 'new' method but I have tried many different ways of doing it but I still get that error, how do I do it?
Here's the code i've used in the past to save an integer array to settings (The setting being listed as a String on the dropdown):
Save:
vb
sec0string = String.Join(";", Array.ConvertAll(sec0, Function(n) n.ToString()))
Load:
vb
sec0string = My.Settings.sec0
sec0 = Array.ConvertAll(sec0string.Split(";"c), Function(s) Convert.ToInt32(s))

HumanName (the variable, not the setting) in this code is a 1-Dimensional string array. HumanLevel is a 1-dimensional integer array. There is no error in this code, but for some reason despite the fact that the integer array actually saves to settings exactly as it is supposed to, the string array causes the program to crash.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

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.
View 6 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

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.

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
