当存储的数据类型更改时,如何升级Settings.Settings?

我最终使用了一种更复杂的方式进行升级,从用户设置文件中读取原始XML,然后运行一系列升级例程,将数据重构为下一个新版本中的预期方式。此外,由于我在ClickOnce的 ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.IsFirstRun 属性(您可以查看Microsoft Connect反馈 here ),我必须使用自己的IsFirstRun设置才能知道何时执行升级。整个系统对我来说运行得很好(但由于一些非常顽固的障碍,它是用血汗制成的)。忽略注释标记特定于我的应用程序且不属于升级系统的内容。

使用了以下自定义扩展方法和辅助类:

{
    public static class ExtensionMethods
    {
        public static XmlNode AppendNewElement(this XmlNode element, string name)
        {
            return AppendNewElement(element, name, null);
        }
        public static XmlNode AppendNewElement(this XmlNode element, string name, string value)
        {
            return AppendNewElement(element, name, value, null);
        }
        public static XmlNode AppendNewElement(this XmlNode element, string name, string value, params KeyValuePair<string, string>[] attributes)
        {
            XmlDocument doc = element.OwnerDocument ?? (XmlDocument)element;
            XmlElement addedElement = doc.CreateElement(name);

            if (value != null)
                addedElement.SetTextValue(value);

            if (attributes != null)
                foreach (var attribute in attributes)
                    addedElement.AppendNewAttribute(attribute.Key, attribute.Value);

            element.AppendChild(addedElement);

            return addedElement;
        }
        public static XmlNode AppendNewAttribute(this XmlNode element, string name, string value)
        {
            XmlAttribute attr = element.OwnerDocument.CreateAttribute(name);
            attr.Value = value;
            element.Attributes.Append(attr);
            return element;
        }
    }
}

namespace MyApp.Forms
{
    public static class MessageBoxes
    {
        private static readonly string Caption = "MyApp v" + Application.ProductVersion;

        public static void Alert(MessageBoxIcon icon, params object[] args)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(GetMessage(args), Caption, MessageBoxButtons.OK, icon);
        }
        public static bool YesNo(MessageBoxIcon icon, params object[] args)
        {
            return MessageBox.Show(GetMessage(args), Caption, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, icon) == DialogResult.Yes;
        }

        private static string GetMessage(object[] args)
        {
            if (args.Length == 1)
            {
                return args[0].ToString();
            }
            else
            {
                var messegeArgs = new object[args.Length - 1];
                Array.Copy(args, 1, messegeArgs, 0, messegeArgs.Length);
                return string.Format(args[0] as string, messegeArgs);
            }

        }
    }
}

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
        // Ensures that the user setting's configuration system starts in an encrypted mode, otherwise an application restart is required to change modes.
        Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.PerUserRoamingAndLocal);
        SectionInformation sectionInfo = config.SectionGroups["userSettings"].Sections["MyApp.Properties.Settings"].SectionInformation;
        if (!sectionInfo.IsProtected)
        {
            sectionInfo.ProtectSection(null);
            config.Save();
        }

        if (Settings.Default.UpgradePerformed == false)
            Settings.Default.Upgrade();

        Application.Run(new frmMain());
}

这可能不是你真正想要的答案,但听起来你试图将其作为升级来管理,而不继续支持旧版本,这使问题过于复杂。

public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
}

当用户升级到新版本时,年龄仍然会被存储,因此当您访问DateOfBirth字段时,您只需检查是否存在DateOfBirths,如果不存在,则根据年龄计算并保存,以便下次访问时,它已经有出生日期,并且可以忽略年龄字段。

我知道这个问题已经得到了回答,但我一直在考虑这个问题,并想添加一种处理自定义类型类似(不相同)情况的方法:

public class Person
{

    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    private DateTime _dob;
    public DateTime DateOfBirth
    {
        get
        {
            if (_dob is null)
            { _dob = DateTime.Today.AddYears(Age * -1); }
            else { return _dob; }     
        }
        set { _dob = value; }
    }
 }

如果private_dob和public Age都为null或0,则会同时出现另一个问题。您始终可以将“出生日期”设置为“日期时间”。在这种情况下,今天是默认的。此外,如果你只知道一个人的年龄,你会如何告诉他们出生日期到当天?
