I have the following code that determines if it's the first time the user opens the app. If it is, a file dialog shows, and then it's supposed to change the setting to false, so it doesn't happen after that one time. public void VerifyIfFirstTimeRun() { if (Properties.Settings.Default.FirstTimeUse == true) { ...
In large and complex software products managing configurable settings becomes a major pain. Two approaches I've seen to the problem are: have each component in the system load its own configuration from config files or registry settings. have a settings loader class that loads all the configurable system settings and have each compon...
I have a Web App Project (compiled DLL) along with 3 DLL projects. In my DLL projects I am using the Properties/Setting.settings to extract mutable settings from the DLL. However, when I publish from environment to the next I have not figured how to change the Settings.settings values for the new environment. It appears that the setti...
I eventually couldn't get any further with my program due to the various shortcomings of VB.NET (bad audio support, no reading events in the middle of execution, very weak keyboard input, etc). So I tried SDL.NET 6.1. Despite its terrible documentation, I was able to fix my code to use it and I love it! But there's a problem. I don't...

Example label: iPhone -> Settings -> Safari -> Fraud Warning...
Not sure if this is a duplicate or not, im sure if it is it will be closed anyway! I hear a lot of folk mentioning things like "you shouldn't clog your app.config file with custom settings"....I was under the illusion that this was what the purpose of the file was for! So, is it just indeed a preference thing, or are there any real ben...

For example, the previous version's type was: public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } And ...
It looks to me like choosing Browse.. for the type of a setting should offer a list of available types in the assembly to select from. My designer (VS 2008 under vista) seems to hang a bit before doing nothing. Am I correct in how this feature should work? Any ideas on why mine isn't? Is there a way to manipulate global settings for t...

I have two issues: When I specify date as the type, my app within the settings app crashes. Working examples would be greatly appreciated. Since this approac...

I need to give the user the ability to change application settings, in this case the location for the application database. I noticed that Application Settings are read only at run time, but this needs to be application-wide, not user-specific. How do I persist an application-wide connection string in windows.forms that is changeable a...

I made a bit of a namespace spelling mistake and I wish to correct it. My application currently uses Application.Settings to store a bulk of the user's information. If I refactor my namespace to be spelled correctly, will the application settings file essentially get wiped because it can't find the new namespace in it? ...
I'm trying to create a program with two (or more) discrete sets of settings, that both conform to the same interface. Particularly I'd like to do something like the following, using designer generated settings: IMySettings settings = Properties.A; Console.WriteLine(settings.Greeting); settings = Properties.B; Console.WriteLine(settings...
Hi everyone, I need to create a custom settings view used within the app. The app is a mockup so it actually does have one already, it uses a UITableViewCellStyleValue1, but nothing is editable. So essentially what I would like to have is the same thing but with editable detailTextLabel (the label on the right hand side), what's the bes...
