Enable subsystem settings
The subsystem is to implement saving the user preferences in the application.
Access to the system settings provided by the wizard, a set of static class methods ICSSoft.STORMNET.Settings.SettingManager.
In order to enable the subsystem settings, you need to install a static property ICSSoft.STORMNET.Settings.SettingManager.UseSettings in true. Also, you can do it in config file for an application, which requires to add the line:
<add key="UseSettings" value="True"/>
Save your own settings
Saving settings is performed by the function SetSettings, read settings function GetSetting.
The settings indicated:
- The name of the module that saved the settings. It’s just a logical name that allows you to set group settings. Hence, when any setting, actually read and cached all the settings for the module.
- Name settings.
- The setting value. Setting identificireba unique module name, setup name and user name. Username settings Manager recovers automatically.
Example (saving position and size of the form):
SettingManager.SetSetting("SettingsTest", "Form Position&Size", string.Join(",", new string[]{
this.Left.ToString(),
this.Top.ToString(),
this.Width.ToString(),
this.Height.ToString()
}));
An example of (read the position and size of the form):
string setting = SettingManager.GetSetting("SettingsTest", "Form Position&Size");
if (setting!=null)
{
string[] splittedsetting = setting.Split(',');
this.Left=int.Parse(splittedsetting[0]);
this.Top=int.Parse(splittedsetting[1]);
this.Width=int.Parse(splittedsetting[2]);
this.Height=int.Parse(splittedsetting[3]);
}
XML string using the standard SOAP serialization .NET. This is done by the utility ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.Utils.ObjectToString (reverse — ObjectFromString). Therefore, it is possible not to form the string manually setting value, and use this utility.Serialization of data objects is performed in a different way: How the «spin» data object to an XML string and restore back.
