Please post your source code so we can determine where the problem is.

[Paulo_Jorge]

please see the image now, really need this

thanks

[gregwarner]

It's very difficult to read the code in the image. If you could please use the CODE tags so I can read all of it and copy and paste the parts of it I need to test.

[Paulo_Jorge]

this works in another project i have, but not in this project

this is the code;

Private Sub NoteTaker_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

        My.Settings.notes = TextBox1.Text

        My.Settings.Save()

    End Sub


    Private Sub NoteTaker_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        TextBox1.Text = My.Settings.notes

    End Sub

have an error here: in settings.designer.vb

Public Property notes() As String

            Get

                'THE ERROR IS HERE

                Return CType(Me("notes"), String)


            End Get

            Set

                Me("notes") = value

            End Set

        End Property

IN return ctype(me("notes"),string); it says "failed system boot configuration"

please help , thanks

I'm not really fluent in VB, but I thought the Set method had to have (ByVal value as type) after it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, I'm not familiar with the Me("string") method. I thought you accessed members using the dot, like Me.notes.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

[Paulo_Jorge]

i dont written this code; when i have the error, visual basic directs me here and to that code

thats the problem

[gregwarner]

Where did you get the code then? Who wrote it?

[Paulo_Jorge]

the code where i have the error, is automatically written by visual basic

[gregwarner]

I'm not sure then. Sorry I can't be of much more help. Hopefully someone who is more versed in Visual Basic can give you the answer.

I would suggest trying to save the settings on something other than the "Close" event of your form to test it out.... put it in a button.click event to test if it is the setting or the form designer that's giving you the problem. you may need to delete the form and start a new form if the form designer is giving you an error.

[Paulo_Jorge]

i've tried change the event where the settings are acctioned and it didn't work;

i will try the delete and create a new form; but i dont know, the problem is occuring in the 99% of the project :(

thanks anyway
