Use of My.Settings is Resizing the Form

raklali 236

In my Form1_Load(), I have included a statement to TextBox1.Text = My.Settings.UserName, UserName is the Name of the Setting created using the Project=>Properties tab.

On executing the code, the window is getting resized. Also, the same window resizing problem occurs when attempting to save the value to My.Settings.UserName.

I have tried everything, moving the statement to Form1_Activated(), called using a Sub, loading on Click of Button, etc but Window resizing problem remains.

Binging the issues shows that this problem exists since VB-2015 onwards.

Any solution to circumvent this problem?

Hi
Strange, I use My.Settings in every project, and apart from occasional error due to my own fault, have never had the issue you mention.

@LesHay , Even I have been using it since long in all my Projects. This is the first time I am facing this problem.

I am using VB.Net 2019 Enterprise.

Hi

When you say you tried it in a Button Click event handler.

Did you have the TextBox assignment of the setting value by itself in the Sub? No other code at all.

Was the Form size correct before clicking the button?

When clicking the button, did you see the Form resize only as a result of the assignment only?

How much of a change in the Form size did you see (approx).
