I am using a check box tied to a program settings. When I am in form designer my check box property is "unchecked", however, when I debug my program the checkbox is checked.
My value for my settings is set to false and my property setting is also false.
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.
View 3 RepliesReportViewer is a component I use frequently. Imagine my surprise in VS2010 when I find that a project MUST use the 4.0 framework choice or the toolbox will not display the component. I am trying to use a 2.0 project for compatability reasons. No matter how I try to reference the WinReportViewer it will not work unless I update the project for 4.0 framework.MS, I don't understand what this means for upgrade path for old projects being opened in VS2010. We are a VS2008 shop and it would be horrible to upgrade a bunch of projects to 2010 only to find that ReportViewer is no longer supported by 2.0 framework.

View 6 RepliesCurrently I have a background worker doing a bunch of stuff and if a condition is met, it throws up a MessageBox for the user to pick from an the background thread pauses like I need it to, however most of the time the Messagebox shows up behind the main form (which is on the primary app thread, the UI thread) and I'd like the BW code to pause until it's acknowlegded and I also want the MessageBox to be owned by the main form (so it's always displayed in front and you can't get to the main form until you acknowledge the MessageBox. Later I'll be changing the MessageBox to be a modal form that matches the app's theme (I'll be opening this form using .ShowDialog()) should I go ahead and make that form now?

View 5 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 4 RepliesI want to hear some discussion regarding what is the best way to persist program parameter and variable settings from one run of the program to the next. I used to often use the ubiquitous INI type file in VB6 programs but I am aware that these are not formally supported in .Net programs. I also have a major aversion to adding to the already overwhelming bloat of the Windows registry by using that to store values.
