So I work in a PHP shop, and we all use different editors, and we all have to work on windows. I use vim, and everyone in the shop keeps complaining that whenever I edit a file there is a newline at the bottom. I've searched around and found that this is a documented behavior of vi & vim... but I was wondering if there was some way to d...
As far as I understand all default settings of app.config settings is hard coded in the application and will generated on the fly in the first run. If this is true then there is no good reason to deploy these files with an installer or in a zip package, am I right? Or am I missing something in here. I want to be sure before rolling out...
Can someone please explain to me the difference between the AppSettings and ApplicationSettings sections in the App.Config file. Why are there two different sections that apparently do the same thing?? ...
Just wondering what the best practise advice would be on the architecture for a settings class. We've a number of tables which will be used to populate the class, I'm guessing a Hashtable is the best way to go? It also would be nice to have a strongly typed collection available through the scope of the app in Intellisense. e.g. Settin...
I have a dll that is referenced by the parent (executing) assembly. In the ApplicationSettings section of the app.config for the parent assembly I have some settings that can be accessed in the normal intellisense manner (e.g. Properties.Settings.Default.SMTPServer). How do I access these settings from the referenced dll? I obviously ca...
I have a WinForms application ("WF"), and a Library called by that WinForms application ("LIB") WF has a Settings.settings (Visual Studio Designer) and app.config combo.

I have the need to relatively quickly be able to determine if a set of files on a user's machine has been processed before by my application. The app in question uploads the files for the user to a server, and if the files have been uploaded before, it skips the upload. My plan so far has been to hash the files and then store the results...
When using a Settings.settings file in .NET, where is the config actually stored? I want to delete the saved settings to go back to the default state, but can't find where it's stored... any ideas? ...
Would you consider it bad practice to store various user data in a database as serialized binary? Is it a good, bad or really ugly idea? I'm talking about pretty much arbitrary things, like the last splitter distance on a form, the last value in a search text box, prevously selected checkbox indexes, et cetera. Things that should be rem...
I've been working on making my app easier to use for administrators. One of the things I'd really like to do is allow admins to modify other user's settings from within the program -- while still making it possible for regular ol' users to modify their own settings, as my application isn't necessarily only for administrators who want to ...

I'm working on a very simple iPhone app, that in the end will have maybe 3 or 4 settings. Ideally I'd like to use the Settings app provided for free in the SDK. One of the settings I'd like the user to be able to enter is their date of birth, however there doesn't seem to be a way to prompt the user for a date in the Settings app. Asi...

Hello. Is there a way, from within a Cocoa application to change the system network settings (specifically, the proxy settings). I've found that there is a file called preferences.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration that has the settings I want, but I can't figure out how to get the system to process changes to this file ...
Hi, I have a query regarding the directory returned from Path.GetTempPath() function. It returns "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp" as the directory. I am saving some temp files there and I am wondering when this folder is cleared, so I know how long they will exist, if it is cleared at all that is. Is it every time...
