settings

I do not understand the following things: What is the difference between app.config (applicationname.exe.config) and settings file ? I am unable to locate the *.settings file in Windows7 AppData directory under the specific account (I heard that it should be located somewhere over there) ? Let's assume that *.settings file is somewhere on the hard drive. Why on the development time the data from settings file are copied to application config file? Kind Regards PK blak3r So the default settings are stored in the <exename>.config file located in the same directory as the executable. The reason

I am programming a website in which users will have a number of settings, such as their choice of colour scheme, etc. I'm happy to store these as plain text files, and security is not an issue. The way I currently see it is: there is a dictionary, where all the keys are users and the values are dictionaries with the users' settings in them. For example, userdb["bob"]["colour_scheme"] would have the value "blue". What is the best way to store it on file? Pickling the dictionary? Are there better ways of doing what I am trying to do? Using cPickle on the dictionary would be my choice.

When an iOS Device goes into "sleep mode", even a configured VPN is, unfortunately, turned off. A customer that wants an app for his iPad has to use VPN for security, so anything must be done through VPN. The app has to synchronize a lot, but the iOS device might turn off the VPN by itself. That's why I just need to trigger it again every time i need an internet connection (or keep it alive ). Do any of you guys have anything in mind? Even using Private API is ok (the app will only be distributed to a customer, not through App Store). Or using any app like Cisco AnyConnect would do the job.

In a reusable application (in which i don't want to change any code) i would like to change a SETTING var that the application uses (in its forms and maybe other parts) to be dynamic (update its contents from a db table). What would be the best approach to do that (a middleware maybe?) ? Look into the django-dbsettings project. Django-settings is another alternative. It was created about a year after this question was originally asked. Here is a grid of multiple such projects . 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1394126/keep-settings-in-database

I need to find whether the current Android device allows to install apps from sources other than the market. This option appears in the settings UI under Applications named "Unknown sources". The setting basically allows you to download and install APKs that did not originate from the Google app market. How do I check whether this flag is on or off using code? Here is the code that uses the mentioned setting: boolean isNonPlayAppAllowed = Settings.Secure.getInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS) == 1; Also showing the setting to user might me useful: if (
