Application setting question

I came across the application setting feature today and it is pretty
cool. I would like to know if someone can help me in the following
situation.
In my current project, On form closing I take the current size of the
windows form and its position and store them as serialized object per
user. Next time when the user login in, I read corresponding serialized
object and show the windows as when they last exist.
It looks like application setting can do this for me, instead of me
coding all these logic.

I created a new project and added a new field called size and type
system.drawing. size and scope is user and default value is 400,400

On form closing, I did, Save also. In the initialising for the form, I
change the size of the form from the app setting. No errors but after I
change the size of the window and close it is not saving the new size.
does anyone know what might be I am doing wrong??

my mistake, I didn't capture the changed values in their corresponding
events.

These .aspx pages work fine. Although the...

Helo, My question is how can I exit an application from a class Library... I've got a class library wich I use to load and save user setting for my application, some of this settings are mandatory, therefore if the setting is not present the application should exit. I know I could throw an exception to the main program, or even return nothing, make a check wich will close the application if its Nothing. But this means more code on the...

Everyone, I have a question on how to use persistant application settings with 2.0. I understand I can use defined types like ints, strings, and so on, but how about my own custom class? The problem is I can fill in the 'type' of the setting as my custom class, but if I try to save the settings - calling the My.Settings.Save() - then reload the settings at a later time with the My.Settings.Reload() - the data in my custom class is not...

Hi For my db app, I need to save the location of the db (really a windows path) which normally only needs to be set at the first app start (I can check if the setting is missing and ask user for a value). Occasionally (once in a blue moon) I may need to change this setting in case db is moved to a different server etc. My question is what sort of mechanism can/should I use to store this setting?

Hello. I apologize for asking this question as the information I need is availible via the MSDN library, however I cannot seemt o understand what I need to do, so I'm asking here. I have created application settings in Visual Studio (right-click on the project, go to the settings tab, etc.) and have associated each of these settings with a property on a form. This seems to be working right (i.e. if I edit the default value of a setting,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
