Question Regarding VS2005.NET Configuration Settings

I was wondering if someone can help me with my question regarding the
configuration system functionality in the .NET Framework 2.0 for VB. My
question is, if I have a application configuration file; can the values in
the file be changed? I read that the Application settings are read-only; is
there any way of changing the data programmaticall y? And based on your
opinion would it be better to place Application configurations in another
file type (e.g. database table, seperate xml file, and etc.) rather than
using the Application Setting provided by the IDE?

Thank You

Hello! I'm a recent user of Visual Studio 2005, but I'm familiar with Visual Studio 2003. One of the things I'm wrestling with is the new configuration paradigm under VS2005 (.NET 2.0?). I'm using C#. I'm somewhat familiar with the old-style usage of Configuration.AppSetting, but I'm told that is deprecated and the usage is now through ConfigurationManager. After making sure I was using the right assembly to reference...

After reading some articles regarding confuguration data I'm a bit confused. Where is the right place for storing configuration data? - XML-files? - registry? - INI-files? (from a users point of view, ini-files are more comfortable to read and edit) Where should I store user specific config data? Where should I store machine specific config data?

Hello, I asked a similar question yesterday with no responces. I want to read and write to a configuration file with user settings.(Windows App) Are there any good books, or sites that explain Properties.Settings.Default and such. Or am I supposed to be using the Configuration classes? When you decide to use the app.config you end up with Settings.Settings,Settings.designer,app.config..... I want to learn how these operate together.

Hi all, This post is sort of tangentially related to my earlier posts on configuration files for DLLs. Does anyone know how to create typed DataSets using VS2005's new DataSet designer, but with the ability to configure the connection string via a config file? The designer seems to hard-code the connection string into the dataset itself, which just can't be right.

Hi, I have a problem where our app when compiled in VS2005 runs about 50% the speed it attains in VS2003. This is an unmanaged C++ app. I have tried most combinations of the optimization and language settings with little change in run speed. I compared the generated native code in various places in the code and noticed two things.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
