Dear members!

I created a lanchat program. I want to make a settings section. I designed it in a new form that called settings and i put on the settings form one checkbox.With this checkbox I want to start in the main form one automatic logging timmer what log into one file the chat,i can start the autosave and it work fine:) but ever when close the settings form and i reopen the settings form the checkbox state is unchecked:cursing:,vainly checked it before closing and reopening:cursing:

my source code what check the autostart timer state on the form1 and "enable/disable" the checkbox

{

            InitializeComponent();

            Form1 form = new Form1();

            if (form.autosave.Enabled == true)

            {

                this.checkBox1.Checked = true;

                this.checkBox1.CheckState = CheckState.Checked;

            }

            else

            {

                this.checkBox1.Checked = false;

                this.checkBox1.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked;

            }

        }

Any idea?

Add a settings file to your project. Right-click on your project Add>>New Item>>Settings file. In that file add the settings you want, make sure they are user settings and not application settings.

Then, to edit those settings:

//Assuming we have a setting named autosave
//And out settings file is called Settings
ProjectName.Settings.Default.autosave = checkBox1.Checked.ToString();
ProjectName.Settings.Default.Save();

When you restart the application you will have the settings there.
I don't understand the rest of your question, can you please re-formulate?
