Use ArrayLists With My.Settings?
Mar 1, 2009
I was trying to use ArrayLists with My.Settings but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work.If I make a setting called "Words" and make it an ArrayList without a value, the program has an error every time I try to run it. If I try to give it a value in the project properties window it always gives me an incorrect data type error. Besides, I don't want it to have a value, I want it to be blank such as when declaring a New ArrayList. The only way I can get an ArrayList My.Setting to work is by clicking in the Value box, clicking the "..." button in the corner and adding some kind of Object with the add button. This automatically puts some kind of wierd object in the first index of the array list. If I don't convert Item(0) of the arraylist to a string then it also gives me an error when I try to read it. As a string it comes up as System.Object. Even though I can use the my.settings.Words ArrayList with an object in the first index, how can I get the setting to start off blank without having to constantly avoid the first index?

I have two arraylists, and I would like to have a new arraylist with only the uncommon items. Is this the "best" or at least decent way to do it?

OK, so I am creating a bit of code that will allow me to randomly pick one "card" from a "deck", delete that "card" from the deck, and repeat. I found in all of my research that vb.net has the arraylist that is supposed to be very simple in these situations. However, when I try to populate them with a For Each statement, I only get odd numbers in the array list. What am I missing?
Dim a As New ArrayList
For i As Integer = 1 To 52
a.Add(i)

I have two arraylists that contains links in one and the root url in the other. Sometimes the lists dont equal in number and I would like to iterate through the links list and if it contains a matching root url add it to a third list but also avoid any duplicates. I tried this but am not getting consistent results.
For Each link As String In urls
For Each part As String In post
If part.Contains(link) Then
[code]....
Perhaps there is another way; basically the part in post is a link to a page and contains the root url( which is link in urls). After extracting all these I need to ensure the 2 lists match.

I have been tempted to use List(Of T) in VB.NET instead of ArrayLists by someone-who-must-not-be-named-Robinson.Essentially, what I need to store are three things: One string, two integers, and maybe two booleans. I liked using ArrayList, because it treated all its elements as "Objects" so I didn't really have problems storing that variety of elements.But now I have been thinking on using List(Of T). But how do I do to store that variety of elements of mine? I have been thinking on making a Structure holding the five elements.Sounds like a good idea? I heard somewhere that Structures are expected to have a short life. But I fear I will be having my structures for... forever, as long as my app lives. That makes any difference? Finally, what if I needed to create... dunno...... 125000000 Lists, each containing a structure? Is that possible (and good)?

I have three arraylists (datasets and subsets) that I need to combine into one arrraylist so I can databind it to a repeater control and then present data to the user. As far as I know, you can only bind the repeater with one datasource (please correct me if this is wrong) that's why I'm combining these arraylists.Each arraylist has an ID from the database which I can use as a datakey to keep the data aligned. How do I combine these lists?

I have searched high and low for a solution yet still no luck, I have two arraylists populate with FileInfo and I want to compare the two and write the duplicate (matching files) to a listbox.Here is how I have populated the arraylists but in terms of the comparison I have not found anything that works:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim arraylist1 As ArrayList
Dim arraylist2 As ArrayList
[code]....
What can I do next to compare the two and write the duplicates to ListBox1.

I am trying to convert an algorithm to use them in order to save memory. However, I am struggling to achieve error-free code while using "Strict On".
Here is a basic version of the code I am attempting to use.
Code:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Module Program
[Code]...
It works when I do not use the Strict option. How do I improve the code to compile error-free?

Background: I'm writing a application that will allow users to enters items on a form using textboxes, radio buttons and checkboxes. I then take each input item and write it to it's own arraylist. After the user is all done entering data the information in the arraylists will write out to a single .txt file.

I've got three arraylists of strings, and the "091: " part of the string is not part in the arraylist, thats added when I display them in the listboxes. So basically, how can I sort a list, and make sure that item nr 98 in english, still equals nr 98 in japanese and kanji?

I am obviously not understanding something about scoping that is very basic. I have a very simple class:
Public Class testListClass
' This just contains a single list that is set by a property or the constructor
Private classArrayList As New ArrayList()

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..

Is there a way to maintain application modified Settings in the settings files after a program update? i.e. I have 10 or so values in the settings file and the users can modify them... when I send a program update they revert back to what I initially programmed them to be.

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.

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.

I saw that you can also use a "Settings File" (Add new Item)to add your settings instead of the application settings. But I can't seem to write any values to the file. Someone with experience with the "Settings1.settings"?

I can double click on the Setting.settings and the projects Settings grid appears in design. I change the value of a user scope setting yet when I run the application in debug it picks up a value I set initially instead of the current value of the setting.
When the app starts I set a connection string to the path of the .SDF file that I set in the Settings.settings grid and accesss it with
mRootSDFPath As
String =
My.Settings.SDFConnectionString

it is possible to create dynamic settings using My.Settings.For example, a person clicks "Add User"The program then creates the settings for that user, it creates User(DYNAMICNUMBER)FN, and User(DYNAMICNUMBER)LN. Where Dynamic number is the next user for no conflicts in the settings. Is this possible? So that you can save multiple users for example?
