My.Settings wont update??

Hello All,..

I have some settings stored in the project settings which show up under
My.Settings. ...
All works fine.

Now, I wanted to change the value of one of these settings, so I went into
the app.config file, and changed the value, and reran the app. But it still
picks up the old value, and doesn't pay attention to the new value which I
entered in the app.config file.

I tried doing a My.Settings.Rel oad(), but it STILL wont read the new value
in from the file.

How can I get it to actually pay attention to changes to the settings?

Thanks in advance.

You might need to update the settings in the properties. Did your
modification show up in your settings?

I think *perhaps* it is that it was the My.Settings for a DLL project, and
since they are stored in the app.config file, and the DLL's do not copy
their app.config file, it didn't make any difference to change them.
Which then kind of begs the question, of why a DLL project even HAS a
My.Settings page in the property sheets.

I belive the app.config file is embeded into a windows project. It is
external in a ASP project.

I would try the 'Settings' pane to setup your settings (eg Data connections,
web services, etc.)
This will update the config file w/o errors. But if it is something else,
then you will have to go to another pane.

What are you trying to add/modify? Which setting?

Hi, In the Web application I am working on, data is read from a SQL Server database. At any time, there are about 15 people browsing the web. The SQL Server database is updated with new information once every hour. The update takes a couple of minutes. The isolation level during the update is so to Serialazable so that the front-end does not get any incorrect data.

Hi, I'm using the Settings.settings of VB.NET to define a Connectionstring (Scope = application).

Hello, I have a problem with the settings (save and load) My.Settings in VB.NET2005. Actually, I have made a new application, then I have created a setting (with a default value) and then I publish my application. In my application (designer), if I change a setting and then save the settings, all is fine, the next time I load the application, the settings are loaded automatically and used correctly.

I am trying to use a custom type inside settings.settings. When I create my class, I am able to add it in as the type and the value ends up showing as XML data. If I change any of the values in my class, the values do not update the settings file. Can anyone provide any insight and/or sample code on how to use a user defined class as a valid and usable type in the settings.settings file? Thanks, --Rob.
