I want to be able to save the user color settings in my app and restore them
when the app is re-opened. I currently have a config file with different
settings such as:
[App Settings]
UID=jsmith
IP=127.0.0.1
Port=23
I want to be able to save the color settings in the same way, but the I
can't convert from System.Drawing. Color to String. How can I accomplish
this?
Thanks. 5 1155
Thanks! That worked great. Now I can't get my font to persist. I tried
writing out the font as Font.ToHfont and then reading it back in as
Font.FromHfont, but I get an error saying "This only works with TrueType
Fonts. This isn't a TrueType Font." The font actually is a TrueType font,
at least it has the .ttf suffix and has the TT logo next to its name in the
listing.
How can I persist my font?
Thanks.

The in my opinion most simple way is the "Color.ToAr gb" and the Color.FromArgb" methods.

Terry,
You are even able to serialize a font.
\\\first showed to me by Tom Shelton
Private Function SerializeFontOb ject(ByVal fnt As Font) As String
Dim bf As New BinaryFormatter
Dim mem As New MemoryStream
Try
bf.Serialize(me m, fnt)
Return Convert.ToBase6 4String(mem.ToA rray())
Catch
Return String.Empty
Finally
mem.Close()
End Try
End Function
Private Function DeserializeFont Object(ByVal fnt As String) As Font
Dim bf As New BinaryFormatter
Dim mem As New MemoryStream(Co nvert.FromBase6 4String(fnt))
Try
Return DirectCast(bf.D eserialize(mem) , Font)
Finally
If Not mem Is Nothing Then
mem.Close()
End If
End Try
End Function
I hope this helps,
Cor

In addition to the other replies: The font handle you obtain using
'ToHfont' points to the font object the method is called on. This handle
won't exist any more if you restart the application.

I was dissapointed to see that the new Settings system in 2005 doesn't
appear to persist the data between application sessions. I understand that
it is used for application initialization, but there is something I read
that made me think it would work for user settings as well. Is there an
option I need to switch somewhere to get these to persist or is it back to
serializing my own options class to XML?
Thanks,

We get fairly frequent questions on here about why settings (including both values AND formatting) of unbound controls on a form, are not stored for reference later, but instead, each setting seems to be applied to EVERY instance of the control, for all records that show.

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,...
