[SOLVED] Creating form setting in VB Programmatically

Creating form setting in VB Programmatically

My question is how to create a new form setting in vb.net language to save data Programmatically.

For example when i click button it will create the setting which it,s name is the text of the textbox1.

is this possible and how. And is there any functions which can save data when program is closed?

Solution

You can create your own settings-class which inherits ApplicationSettingsBase:

Imports System.Configuration

Public Class MyUserSettings
    Inherits ApplicationSettingsBase
    <UserScopedSetting()> _
    <DefaultSettingValue("white")> _
    Public Property BackgroundColor() As Color
        Get
            BackgroundColor = Me("BackgroundColor")
        End Get

        Set(ByVal value As Color)
            Me("BackgroundColor") = value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class

Save the settings:

Dim Mus As New MyUserSettings
Mus.BackgroundColor = Color.AliceBlue
Mus.Save()

Load the settings:

Dim Mus As New MyUserSettings
MessageBox.Show(Mus.BackgroundColor.ToString)
