VB2010. I understand how to save settings and load them from the My.Settings namespace. What I am trying to figure out is how to get the default value of a settings and present it to the user. I don't want to save the setting I just want to show what the current value is and what the default value is. I tried this but I don't think it does what I think it's supposed to do:
Msgbox "Current setting: " & My.Settings.CustLineWidth & vbcrlf & _
"Default setting: " & My.MySettings.Default.CustLineWidth
The default as I have setup in the IDE is 10 but the user changed it to 25. If I run the above code I get
Current setting: 25
Default setting: 25
What I would like is
Current setting: 25
Default setting: 10
Solution: I iterate through all the settings and print out the current value and the default value like this
For Each prop As Configuration.SettingsPropertyValue In My.Settings.PropertyValues
Debug.Print("Name={0}", prop.Name)
Debug.Print(" Value ={0}", prop.PropertyValue.ToString)
Debug.Print(" Default={0}", prop.Property.DefaultValue.ToString)
Next prop
This worked for me:
My.Settings.PropertyValues("CustLineWidth").Property.DefaultValue
