As you probably know, the app.config file is read by the framework and accessed through the ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[^] collection. However this is a one-way communication, Reading only. The app.config AFAIK is only designed for external settings to be created for an application, and not for the application to write to.

Herm... that's not good. So, should I just stick with my original idea and write a text file? That's gonna be a pain... anyway, thanks for the help.

Settings are very easy to save in .NET, because you can serialize objects. This makes it almost trivial to create a class to represent your settings, and then use serialization to save and load it to/from disk.
See Serialization, Basic Serialization in the .NET SDK docs.
There are other ways, but that is my favourite.

Hello,
I am trying to save the date to a table from a date picker so that the next time the form is open it will have the last date picked which i will call form the table and assign it to the datepicker as the value. the problem i am having is that when i insert the date into the table which the field is formated to Date i get 12/30/1899 for every date that is inserted. Can someone tell me if there is an easier way to do this or how I Can fix this problem. below is the code i am using.
Thanks,
Santana
'delete old dates and Saves Dates to date table
Dim startdate As Date
Dim enddate As Date
startdate = pkrstartdate.Text
enddate = pkrenddate.Text
datedap.DeleteCommand.CommandText = "Delete * From datetbl"
datedap.DeleteCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
datedap.InsertCommand.CommandText = "Insert into datetbl (startdate,enddate) values (" & startdate & "," & enddate & ")"
datedap.InsertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
MsgBox(startdate)
MsgBox(enddate)

Stringing together an SQL statement like this is a bad idea. Instead, use a stored procedure that can validate what your putting into the table. This will also give you the ability to use SQLParameter objects that can properly convert the date to an SQL compatible DBDate and back again.

You're going to have to supply MUCH more information that this. What does your class look like? What code are you using to create an object form the class and populate it? How are you trying to save the information from the TextBox to the object? We need to see some code samples...

Your making a new instance of an frmAdd form here. You then expand an array and add a new (blank) CD object to it. Then, your populating the textbox controls on the form with the information from the newly created CD object, with is all blanks. You then check a checkbox control on the form, which is never displayed by the way, and then increase the counter.
All the assignments to made are moving data (blank data) TO the form, but never FROM the form to the storage class you made!

i reversed the statment to say
.artist = add.txtartist.text and i still get no data?
|
|

That's because everything you created in this sub is brand spanking new! Your not using the data from the EXISTING form at all, you're using it from a form that you create in this sub, but NEVER display. So yes, you're adding a bunch of blank information to your new CD object.
Use the EXISTING Add form you have already displayed (at least I think you did) instead of creating a new one in your sub.

Hello, I´m programming a Security module for an application. To check out piracy i've been asked to verify the hard drive serial number and the BIOS serial number. I finally found a way to get hd's, but still haven't found a way to BIOS.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you anyway.

Easy enough to get the drive's serial number through WMI. Win32_LogicalDisk has the VolumeSerialNumber attribute.
The BIOS on the other hand isn't so easy. It's in the WMI Win32_BIOS class, but, not every BIOS HAS a serial number. My serial number on my Phoenix BIOS'd machine is "xxxxxxxxxxx". You'd be better off using various parts of the Win32_BIOS class and other pieces of information from other classes to generate your own serial number.

Hi all,
I have a webservice (asmx) and i want to make a reference in a client project.
The problem is that i only see my datasets. We're only talking about design (not runtime environment).
example:
The webservice is called X and contains:
a dataset called ds
a function called GetDs()
The reference in the client-project is called R.
R.ds -> he finds it perfectly.
R.GetDs() -> doesn't show up in the list and gives an error when I want to use it (design time)
There's something more odd in it. R contains something called X ?!
When I call the server (asmx) I see the methods and all and they work perfectly fine.
Is there something I forgot when I builded the webservice or is there something wrong in the reference?
Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Christophe

I m doing on a project which requires me to do a binary file comparison. Can anyone help? How do i go abt coding it?

Sounds like a homework project. We can't write the code for you. You'll have to start writing the code and then we can help with specific problems.

List2.AddItem "Binary Compare Similarity :" & 100 - differencepercentage & " %"
List2.AddItem "Binary Compare diffences :" & differencepercentage & " %"
Exit Sub
errhandler:

End Sub
Is this the way to do the binary files comparison? But when i include this function my normal text files comparison will have a extra line at the end of each documents!

I am trying to write add-in to open a specified word document with
write and read permission for now it only gives me readonly permission with
a message saying this documne is been used by myself.
Dim WApp As Object
Set WApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
'WApp.ReadOnly = False
WApp.Documents.Open str_FullPathToDownloadedFile, ReadOnly:=False
what could be the problem?

Did you run the same code before? And when you ran it before, did you close the document and shut down the instance of Word you created? If not, then a) there are 1...N instances of Word running (check your task list) and b) odds are, your word document is in use by one of them.

Some of it is here[^], but the best bet is to look right inside the help file for Word, etc., the go to the section called "Programming Information".
