Hello. I need help with something.
If the user pressed button1, pictureBox1 will be invisible. (Visible = false) but if the user restarts the app, pictureBox1 will still be invisible. Can someone help me with this? I'm new to C#.

What I have tried:

I tried with user settings from visual studio but it doesn't work. Maybe i need to do in other way.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Solution 1

It depends on the environment in which your app will be running - but you talk of "Settings" in VS implies Winforms, in which case Settings is the right way to go, provided you do it right.
See here: Save and restore your form size and location[^] - it uses Settings to save and restore a form location automatically, so the code you need should be obvious from that

sorry, I dont really know how to make it change the visible property. I am new to C# but i'm sure if i would know a little more I could change it, thank you anyway.

How do you set a property - you know that, yes?

Member 14778963 23-Mar-20 13:01pm

yes, I know how

And that code shows how to read a setting, and write it back.
So what is the problem with putting the two bite of information together?

I'm not trying to be funny here, but remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with. So when you don't tell us something, we don't know it!
