I am using my.settings to save settings. Problem is when a different user logs into the computer they have different settings. Is there a way to use my.settings to work across all users that log in?
View 5 RepliesI thought I postet this yesterday but I can't find my thread so if this is a duplicate please point me at the original one. Background: I need to create a user account and Modify it's registry before the user logs on the first time. Creating the account is done by using the Winnt provider (works great). To create the profile I'm trying to use Process.start to launch a process as the newly created user. With the use of loaduserprofile property the users profile gets created and i can do my regwrites without problem.

View 1 RepliesThe code below tries to clear the cookies for all domains once a user logs out of the system. For some reason, only the last domain in the array is cleared. Why does this happen?
For example, if I change the size of the array to 4 and then change the for loop to only go to 3, then it only logs me out of y.xcv.com.
As a sidenote, I have this loop working on a different server that uses a slightly different function to clear the cookies.
Edit: Code updated per suggestions below. Now it fails on the "as HttpCookie" line. Do I need to include some library?
Dim aDomain(12)
Dim ESidCookie, WIdCookie, EBidCookie, TSidAccessCookie, PSidAccessCookie, SSidCookie As HttpCookie

you tell me how to make a ClickOnce Application Start when A User Logs on? I am running Express so I cannot use the Installers in the full VS. I would like it so it will only add a shortcut when it is installed. (Application is available offline)
View 4 RepliesI 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?
how can i look up for a specific computer given ip or computer name ...retrieve the user logged on..

i searched my entire hardrive. i also searched the entire project.
writing user info such as user, computer name, date, and time to an acces database using a button click event. Then use a query to check if the user has accepted the aggreement. If the user has accepted the aggreement then call a vb.exe that display the aggrement. I have a login script that runs the vb.exe and uses a button click that records the user info to a csv file, but if the user has already agreed to the policies I do not want it run again.

View 8 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..

View 1 RepliesSo, I've created a form that allows for the user to save his or her settings after closing it. When using Visual Basics to run the program, there is no problem and it works wonders.Here is the problem.When I run the program not in Visual Basics, when I go to open the form, it fails. At first, it was because I didn't update the configuration file to include the new settings. Which was dumb, of course, but I updated the file and made sure to put it with the program.

Means the program will check the current system user... and If the user is allow by the program... the program will Run...and If the user not allow by the program the program will display Message..."You are NOT ALLOW to use this program" and the program will close.
I have a NumericUpDown Control on a form. In the Application Settings / Properties Binding, for the value parameter, i can't select my USER setting called : Heures (Integer / User).

But it's not saved.No problem for other settings (String / User). But i don't understand why the settings (Integer / User) are not saved.
I have a Boolean, user scoped setting. I access it through a referenced class library, called Settings. This class library has a Module with properties:

While the code is running this works. But after a restart of the application the new value is not persisted.
I'd like to know if there's a better way to read/write various user settings to disk. My program loads up a bunch of settings during load but also during execution from a few different forms, encrypted string values, boolean values, different types. The code seems to work okay but I have a feeling it's just not the best way to be doing this. Some of the settings are encrypted strings that have to be decrypted/encrypted so the code to read/write the text file is a bit different on some items. The data read from disk usually goes to a public string, a textbox, or a up/down type control. Below is about 1/10th of the settings that get loaded/written at various times. Anyone have a better way that might be more efficient that I should look at?

So, I've created a form that allows for the user to save his or her settings after closing it. When using Visual Basics to run the program, there is no problem and it works wonders. When I run the program not in Visual Basics, when I go to open the form, it fails. At first, it was because I didn't update the configuration file to include the new settings. Which was dumb, of course, but I updated the file and made sure to put it with the program.
However, when I opened the program again, it failed. So, I tried putting an error message in the form so I know why it failed. This time, it would come back saying "Error Occurred. The Following Error Occurred:" and that is it. No details at all why it was having any problems reading my new user settings. Once again, the user settings work fine in visual studios. It has the updated configuration file in the same place it is.
I am trying to save a custom object as a user setting in a VB.net app. This object consists of a List(Of Pair(Of String, Object)). Pair is a custom class which has two read/write properties (a String and an Object).
If I put simple types like int, string, datetime as the second value of my pair, the setting is saved without any problem. But if I try to put something more complex, like a list, there seems to be a problem during serialization and my setting is not saved.
String values in my pairs are serialized like this:
<value1>Priority_1</value1>
Object values are serialized with a special attribute:
<value2 xsi:type="xsd:int">2</value2>
Seems like values of type Object are serialized differently, to "remember" what is the real type of the object. Why can't it do the same for more complex types like List(Of T)?
Okay so i have a problem with saving the users settings. Okay i have about 50 check boxes on my frm1.So for example if the user clicks on check boxes 1 and 2 the next time when the user starts the program i want check box 1 and 2 to be checked

I noticed that the application settings (user.config) are stored in my AppData directory which is names quite oddly: C:UsersclarkgriswaldAppDataLocalCompanyMyApp10.exe_Url_zwsqzsjtunwuxfkklwa3fcjple4hufb01.0.0. 0 Is there anyway to adjust that path? The main reason is that when I release a new version, I want to copy the old settings into the new application's directory, and with a name like that, it's not really feasible.
