Hello all,

I've been looking around but did not find an appropriate answer.

Is it possible to do the following:

I have three checkboxes on a Winform.

Now I create two settings files.

In settings1, all three checkboxes' checked state is TRUE by default.
In settings2, the default states are FALSE for each checkbox.

Is there any way to either apply setting1 or setting2 at runtime or at user interaction (button click, ...)?

Hi Dennis,

You can use Environment.UserName to see which user is currently logged on to Windows.

You can use the Form's Load event to execute code when the form opens up.

Loading the settings from the file will depend on the type of file - if it is a text file you can use something like:
var myfile = new StreamReader(new FileStream("file.txt", FileAccess.Read));
myfile.ReadLine();

More details are necessary if you want more help.

Hello Michiel, I use the method described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k4s6c3a0.aspx - is there any way to have multiple configurations?

I am unable clearly understand your question..

But if you need to Check a CheckBox in runtime use :

C#

Checkbox1.Enabled = true;
Checkbox2.Enabled = true;
Checkbox3.Enabled = true;

Mohammed, my question is about user settings, not about how to set the checked state of a checkbox. Thanks anyways :)

Hi Friend Little Bit Confusion but may it helps you

if(Setting1== true) // something that can make Settings condition true
{
Checkbox1.Enabled = true;
Checkbox2.Enabled = true;
Checkbox3.Enabled = true;
MessageBox.show("Setting1 Successfully Applied ");
}
if(Setting2==true)
{
Checkbox1.Enabled = false;
Checkbox2.Enabled = false;
Checkbox3.Enabled = false;
MessageBox.show("Setting2 Successfully Applied ");
}
there is many Events e.g(Button, Load, Check_Change etc) that can help to run these conditions
thanks
