Using My.settings in VB2005Hello,
I have a few questions about the My.Settings user configuration. Is it posible to change the filepath of the my.settings userconfig file ? Is it posible to have different files so i can group my setting by type ? In my Application i need to store a lot of different parameters and i want a different file for each group. Thanks in advanced Hans Hi,
You can store the information in an xml file. You will not have use of the my namespace to load the values.

for writing XML files I use Private Function CreateXMLFile(ByVal FileName As String) As String Try ' Create the name for the new XML file depending on the given name Dim NewObjectFile As String = _NodesDir + "\" + FileName + XMLPostfix Dim myFileInfo As FileInfo = New FileInfo(NewObjectFile) ' Check if a file with this name already exists If myFileInfo.Exists = True Then Return "error" End If ' We passed all the syntax checks -- write the config to the new XML file _XML = New XmlTextWriter(NewObjectFile, System.Text.Encoding.Default) With _XML ' Activate Indented ..Formatting = Formatting.Indented ' Write start declarations ..WriteStartDocument() ' Start with root element ..WriteStartElement("config") ' Write the current date as comment ..WriteComment(Date.Now.ToString) End With Catch ex As Exception Return ex.ToString End Try ' Success Return "0" End Function Private Function FinishXMLFile() As String Try With _XML ..WriteEndElement() ' Ends "config" node ..Flush() ..Close() End With Catch ex As Exception End Try ' Success Return "0" End Function Hope this helps, Josef Show quoteHide quote "Hans" <H***@discussions.microsoft.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:2334B8D3-C8BE-4C76-B5B0-281738B1B68D@microsoft.com... > Hello Ken, > > Thanks for your answer, > > What is the best way to read and write to the XML file, must i use a > XMLDocument or a xmldatadocument ? > > "Ken Tucker [MVP]" wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> You can store the information in an xml file.

Then, for writing, you can use something like this With _XML ' Write data ..WriteStartElement("PortRange") ..WriteAttributeString("Name", RangeName) ..WriteAttributeString("Protocol", Protocol) ..WriteAttributeString("RangeStart", RangeStart.ToString) ..WriteAttributeString("RangeStop", RangeStop.ToString) ..WriteEndElement() End With and for reading: If myFile.Exists = True Then Dim xr As New XmlTextReader(myFile.FullName) Do While xr.Read() If xr.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Element Then If String.Equals(xr.Name, "PortRange") Then ' This XML file holds a single generic port config myPort.Type = "PortRange" myPort.Name = xr.GetAttribute("Name") myPort.Protocol = xr.GetAttribute("Protocol") myPort.RangeStart = System.Convert.ToInt32(xr.GetAttribute("RangeStart")) myPort.RangeStop = System.Convert.ToInt32(xr.GetAttribute("RangeStop")) ' Finish reading this file Exit Do End If End If Loop ' Loop through the XML file xr.Close() ' Close the file we just read!

xml validation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconReadingXMLWithXmlReader.asp (I've never used this class...) I'm sorry, but I did not have the need to work with xsd files yet...
