I need to save the form settings, like a save state of the form. Because the program allows the user to add controls. I would like to be able to save them and load them. BTW: The controls are Panels and Labels. BUT! The Panels are a modified version of the control, known as NewComp. This simply allows the user to drag the panel around the form.

View 1 Replieshow to get the form to save some data, but the problem is I only know how to get it to save as the body. since the main parts of the program are third party, but here is the code I'm using to save data.

cmbLabel.DataSource = _schedule.DataStorage.LabelStorage.Labels

I need to make a save button. The user will work in main form. User also has Settings in the MenuStrip, when the user clicks Settings a new form will open. There user has ability to make changes that will affect the Main form. This is the code:
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
bib.Panel2.Hide()
End If
This is the change that the user will be able to do that will affect the Main form, but I'm not really sure how to make that the CheckBox1 will be saved when the user clicks it and the clicks OK button. I also want to know how to make a cancel button.

I finally figured out how to get the form to save some data, but the problem is I only know how to get it to save as the body. here is the code I'm using to save data. [Code] Since I have them all saving to the "body", whatever the last box is in the code is what shows for all three once I click save. Does any of that make sense? How can i get all 12 of my text boxes to save to the form so that when I click save and then re-open it, they're all populated? Should I use the .Tag property (don't know how) or assign the data to an array somehow?
View 8 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.

I have a scheduling program here that shows you a calendar and let's you double click a time to open another form where you input the meeting information. When I click save it saves the person's name to the calendar view, but no details when I double click the entry again. What would be the best method of getting the other fields to save so they're there when I double click? Should I just somehow assign them to strings and return them in the right text box or would I need an array?

I created an ASP Table Control and added a row to it programatically. I then repeated the process to add another row. The first row that I added disappeared and only the newest row is being displayed. Is there a property that needs to be set to allow the state of the table to be saved?EDIT:All I do is click a button on the page and it adds a row to the table. Repeated clicks of the button only add one from to the table., here is the function that adds the rows.

View 4 RepliesWhat is the best way to save the state of a program. Maybe that is not the right way to describe it but, what I mean is almost any application you can input a whole bunch of data make selections and choices and then save these in files unique to the application your working with.
For the time being I will ask my question in term of VB.NET since it is what I am currently working with. I understand the use of the stream writer to write data to a file (any file extension can be used even your own made up one) and then you can later open the file with the stream reader and load the saved application state. At least that is what I know how to do. Are there other ways to approach saving the state? In my case I have a dictionary that is defined through user input to store a lot of data and I am trying to find the best way to save the dictionary so I can load it again.

Me.Validate()
Me. CustomersBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.BoardingschoolDataSet)
[code]....
Therefore that code above works perfectly as both of them saves information to the Customers table and waitingforApproval.The problem is here:When I open form2 which recieves information from WaitinforApproval database table(and I see it getting it from there as tableadapter works), I want to save the received information to the customers.So I have two data sets in here. Just like above So here I have created a button called confirm/save the data to customers. Hence I put this code in confirm button:
Form 2 code
Me.Validate()
Me. CustomersBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.BoardingschoolDataSet)
And the current dataset set for this form is �waitingforApproval.So it doesn�t save the received information from waitingforApproval into the customers�
