If you absolutely want to use My.Settings, here's what you could do:

First of all, create a new setting (I'm assuming you know how to do this already). Set the setting type to "Boolean" and the default value to whatever the default check state of your checkbox is. (ie, if your checkbox is unchecked by default, set it to False).

In your CheckBox.CheckedChanged event, you'll want to put the following code:

Code: Select all

My.Settings.settingname = CheckBox.Checked
My.Settings.Save()

Of course, you'll have to replace "CheckBox" with the name of your control and "settingname" with the name of the setting you created.

Finally, in the form loading code, add this:

Code: Select all

CheckBox.Checked = My.Settings.settingname

Again, replace "CheckBox" and "settingname" with the corresponding values.
