Thanks for peaking at my post - and for letting me post numerous questions here! Its been a great help.
I have a form with a bunch of text boxes, buttons, modes, etc. I need the user to be able to click "save as" and "save" and save a file (where ever they want) and after opening the main desktop icon, open these files and go back to there original settings. This being said, they need to save them where ever they want to.
So far, everything I have done with vb.net has been a cake walk, but I seem to be missing something here? The open-dialog and save-dialog don't seem to be the way to go.
I would love to use the My.Settings.Subject to save settings, but the problem here is when I change these, I over right my core applications settings (the settings in the icon on the desktop)
Is it difficult to make files that the user can double click that will automatically launch my application with the configurations they were using when they saved the file?
If I am opening pandoras box I can just have them copy and paste the main application and change the name of the icon...but this is a pretty crude method.
Thoughts?
