Unable To Synchronize The My.Settings?
Sep 29, 2009
With my program I wanted to change the fixed connection string to a User entered one. So in the application settings I added DBConnectionString as a user define String. If the string if empty, it shows the window where one can add the server, database and user name / password. If you press the OK button, it saves the settings:
Private Sub LDBOKBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LDBOKBtn.Click
' ----- Server name is required.
If (Trim(LDBServer.Text) = "") Then
MsgBox("The Server or Host name is required.", _
[code]....
The problem is that when you press the same button to show the System Settings again, the ConnectionString is empty again. So nothing was saved.

I'm trying to get my application to restore the default values of my application settings but every time I click the Synchronize button it says:
No user.config files were found in any of the following locations.
I have never before tried to synchronize this application and am working with Visual Studio 2010. [URL].

synchronizing a combobox with a textfield. I have a form with a textfield and a combobox. The combobox is populated with the department name from the database when the form loads. I would like the textbox to display the corresponding department number when the user selects a department name from the combobox. I have tried using the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combobox but I can't seem to code it to work. This is the code I'm trying to use but it is displaying "DEPARTMENT" in the textbox. Department Code is the primary key of the table.
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM DEPARTMENT"
Dim da = New OracleDataAdapter(strSQL, cn)
da.Fill(dSet, "DEPARTMENT" )

I have written a stupid backup utility that copies new or modified files. That's fantastic until I come across files that are 11 GB in size that have been modified. I have a feeling I can compare the file to be backed up and the file that will be over-written (old version of file) and "synchronize" the file instead of copying the entire 11 GB.

I have a class that contains a List(of T) used in a multithreaded application. I have three methods Get, Add and Remove where these access and modify the List(of T). I was using SyncLock to lock m_List any time I queried it for the desired object as well as when I added or removed objects. However I'm curious as to if there is a performance gain by simply locking m_List when I add an object or remove an object as opposed to when I'm searching for a desired object?

I sometimes come across patterns or common practices that I do not agree with. I have a clear opinon of what is considered "good design", which is mainly based on my understanding of abstraction and creating layers.IMO, the core of an application is it's object model. It's a hierarchic model where one object references other objects or lists of them. That's a memory-internal model. For example, a house object references a list of rooms referencing lists of furniture.An object is identified by it's reference. There are no IDs or PKs in that layer.Saving/Loading data is an additional feature. Sure, no application will do without, but it's based on top of the core of the application. I could write an application that works very well without loading/saving, and for version 2 I will think about whether to save data to a database or an XML file. Merely this fact proves that a database layer is not the lowest. I've never agreed with that three-tier model - even if you call me unteachable.
In addition to all application objects, there are Datasets - and that's my problem now. They can be considered as a copy of what is already present in the application's object model. Its from a different, table-oriented view. As both structures exist in parallel, there's the need to synchronize the DataSet with the (rest of the) application's objects.That's the task that I am always struggling with, and I ask how you handle it. I know this is a major design question but, fortunatelly, I could quite get around this problem so far.The only solution I can imagine is maintaining additional relation lists. For example, whenever the property of a room object changes, that change must be reflected in the associated DataRow in the DataSet. For this purpose, I need a look-up table that tells me the PK of the given room in the database. It requires a lot of additional efforst to do all the synchronization.Again, the house or room object itself does not have a PK and it won't get one because on that layer, it doesn't even know that a database exists.

We have a reporting app thats needs to update it's charts as the data gets written to it's corresponding table. (the report is based off just one table). Currently we just keep the last read sessionid + rowid (unique combo) in memory and a polling timer just does a select where rowid > what we have in memory (to get the latest rows added). Timer runs every second or so and the fast sql reader does it's job well. So far so good. However I feel this is not optimal because sometimes there are pauses in the data writes due to the process by design. (user clicking the pause button on the system that writes data). Meanwhile our timer keeps hitting the db and does not get any new rows. No errors or anything. How is this situation normally handled. The app that writes the data is separate from the reporting app. The 2 apps run on different machines. Bottomline : How to get data into a c# app as and when it is written into a sql server table without polling unnecessarily.

I'm writing a desktop application that uses the main access database that will be hosted on a central server, but there will be a laptop with the app on that has an offline mode so records can be created offsite. When the laptop returns I want it needs to be synced back to the main database.
Has anybody got any pointers on a way to do this, I've briefly read about JRO but is there an alternative / better method?
Originally, I was just going to write some custom code to do this, but thought I'd check to make sure there wasn't something already out there.

I have a multi-threaded application with several datasets that are read/written to from a couple threads. I have read that datasets can handle multiple readers and one writer. I have synclocks around all dataset writes and no synchronization around reads. I am experiencing random "Index was outside the bounds of the array." exceptions where a dataset item is in a conditional statement, for example:

I have application in .net 2.0 in which I have a DataTable object globally in my application and have different dataviews in whole application.
When an action performed i have create many threads lets say 5 in which data is read from different dataview, meanwhile while 2/3 threads are reading data(not all 2 more left to read data) a thread write data in datatable. So we get exceptions like "Enumeration update" or "parameter not null" type.
I have use ReadWriteLock for this but do not find any luck it gets stop on ReaderWriterLock.AcquireWriterLock().

The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.

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 am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..

1. I can't find the file which reflects changes to user settings. This might be because I just can't find it (I can see a bunch of user.config files but they are all empty - weird!), or...
2. I'm not actually saving them when I think I am.
Regarding 2. - do I need to invoke
Is this all I need? And if so, why are my user.configs empty?

I 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.
