What use are they if they cannot be altered from their default values anyway? Rhetorical question. First, what's the best way to circumvent the Settings system and write to the application scope settings file directly (security issues in the next paragraph)? XmlReader/XmlWriter? IIRC, if an application tries to write to its Program Fil...
I have a class in silverlight that I would like to store to disk. It contains a couple of basic CLR objects - strings and integers, and a WPF BitmapImage. What is the best way to store this to a file? I have tried serializing the class and dumping it to file, but BitmapImage does not support serializing. Ideally, I want to store the bi...
I am looking for a neat/clean way to store a list of strings into a C# settings file. As far as I can work out, you can't store List objects into these settings, so basically it needs to be converted to a string. For example, say I have a list of names: N*a*m*e*A Name;B Complex, Weird, Name Name"nickname"Person i.e. I am trying to ...
I am using the built-in My.Settings functionality in VB.NET to save application settings. This is very convenient but I notice that each time I release a new version, the settings are lost. Why and how can I prevent it? ...
We have a RCP application that does sometimes get some data from URLs in the internet. Our customer uses a Proxy-Server, and we can't get to the information we need unless the network-settings are correct (Setting IP of Proxy and the Port-Number). In Eclipse (the IDE), there is the Preferences->General->Network Connections Dialog to set...
I've noticed that when using the Settings object that's created by a Windows Forms application, any spaces in the "Company Name" field of the assembly info are replaced by underscores in the path of the user.config file. For example, in XP the path to the user.config file will be something like: \Documents and Settings\user\Local Setti...

Hi, I have created a graph in extJS and was wondering if people know of a general formula to calculate the major and minor units of the X-Axis. I know Extjs should do it automatically, but its not working and want to do it manually any way as I am already setting the maximum and minimum values. Thanks for any help : ) Some code I ha...
I'm creating a windows mobile app, and on the settings page I want the user to be able to select an installed sound. It should look and act just like every other settings dialog where a sound can be selected - is there a special API for this, or an example how to achieve this? ...

Django comes with a list of built-in middleware, but if one wants to use all (or most) of them, he has to work through tons of docs in order to get the right sorting in the settings.py file. Is there an optimal default order of all built-in Django 1.1 middleware classes? I.e., something to copy'n'paste into settings.py: MIDDLEWARE_CLAS...
I'm writing a Qt application and will need to store the settings for the program. I want them to be easily editable by non-advanced users yet be flexible enough for advanced users (thus allow easy automated editing via other programs, scripts, whatever). QSettings does provide two formats, the native format, which for Windows is registry...
I want to add new settings to the user.config at runtime for a C# application (WPF). These settings will be added by independant modules so I have no idea what they will be in advance. Most examples refer to: Configuration config = configurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); But this only allows you to acc...

Problem now is when I wide up or narrow down windows on the left or right side of the editor. Editor's width narrows down or wides up. I'd like to set its ...
In Django, settings are stored in a file, settings.py. This file is part of the code, and goes into the repository. It is only the developers who deal with this file. The admin deals with the models, the data in the database. This is the data that the non-development staff edits, and the site visitors see rendered in templates. The thin...
VS2008 seems to have a new feature that allows one to split a website into the source code and design aspects on the same page. This feature seems great, however it defaults to having the design part on the bottom half of the screen and the code part on the top half. Unfortunately, my brain doesn't work this way and it ends up being ...
