How To Find Registry Subkey Based On Its Value Names
Jun 13, 2011I'm working on a little project that will inpart take the registry values for the exchange server configuration on a windows mobile device and then convert them to an OMA provisioning XML file. I have the xml code nailed, but we discovered in that process that the active sync exchange partner subkey is named differently on every device but, obviously the value names stay the same.
This is what I have so far but I'm stuck on obtaining the key name and then placing it into variable.
Const branch As String = "SoftwareMicrosoftActiveSyncPartners"
Dim ActiveServer As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(branch)
Dim subkeys() As String = ActiveServer.GetSubKeyNames
For Each subkey In subkeys
'some actions
if name "Server" exists then
Dim exchkey =
Else
messagebox.show "Exchange Server not configured. Please configure a server and try again"

Apr 10, 2009EDIT: See thread at [URL] I've had a look around and I can't quite make sense of trying to get the last write time of a registry key in vb.net. Im a bit of a beginner in vb.net but I really have done an exhaustive search and cant find anything I can make any sense of. I can open subkeys and get values using .GetValue("ValueName"), but as last write time isnt a value inside the key, this doesn't here.
I have had a look around and it seems in VB6 RegOpenKeyEx was used (to open the key and get a handle), then RegQueryInfoKey was used to get the last write time (of the subkey via its handle) BUT i cant get this to work. I have tried entering the following

Registry Key Permission?
Feb 28, 2012Modifying a registry key we could 'write-protect' our USBs, and I wanted to make a program that would do such but I am getting a permission problem in adding a registry key to the local machine. My development machine is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit but I would want it that it will be able to run on other OS like XP and 32 bits. My thought is that I will use autorun and run my program so that upon insertion it will become 'write-protected' and be able to re-enable it also using the program.

View 1 RepliesCheck If Permission Set Exists?
Mar 17, 2010I am using Caspol.exe to install a custom Permission set and add Code Groups for my .Net 2.0 Windows Application.
I have created a Console Application that uses caspol.exe to add Permission Set and Code Groups. I first install the Permission Set and if I do not get an error, I continue to install the Code Groups
Now sometimes I need to add a new Code Group to the client machine, so I make the changes to the console app and it is executed on the client machine. If the client machine already has the Permission Set installed, it returns an error and stops the further processing.
So, I want to know if I can check whether a custom Permission Set is already added or not?

View 6 RepliesProgrammatically Check Process CPU Percentage
Oct 1, 2009I'm attempting to write an app that watching for process spikes. IE: Watch every active process and log the difference between initial and max values of cpu percentage (or load) of each process. The problem is that, as far as I can tell from the MSDN, the Process class doesn't contain any property that is even remotely equal to the true load of the process. For the time being I've written the code to watch the PagedMemorySize64 property, but the values that are being spit out appear to have no relevance to load.
To be clear, I don't need the actual load percentage (though it would be handy), all I need is a property that is directly related to load to show what processes 'spike' during the execution of my program.
My code as it stands (initialProcessCheck runs first, then processCheck runs every 1.5 seconds or so until other threads doing irrelavent tasks are finished, then computeDeltas is run):
Private Sub initialProcessCheck()
'Checks the current load on all active processes and stores as initial values
For Each intPID As Integer In ActiveProcessIDs

Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS
Programmatically Check To See If A Sheet Exists In Excel?
Nov 4, 2010I was wondering if there is a way to programatically check and see if a sheet exsists in an excel workbook?
Basically what I am doing is checking if an excel document exists, opening it up and checking if the specified sheet exists. I am currently unaware as to how to check and see if the sheet exists.
UPDATE
I have been given some good code to make this work. All i am missing now is the correct imports.
I have searched and found this import :
Imports Tools = Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
But for some reason that is not recognized. Do I have to configure VS somehow to make it work? Or am I just using the wrong import?
VS 2010 : Programmatically Check Item In CheckedListBox?
Jun 12, 2011Having some issue trying to programmatically check items in a CheckedListBox.What i am trying to achieve:
1. Pull Staffnames from database
2. Separate each staff member via delimiter
3. checked = true for each item in StaffCHKlist where staffnames = existing StaffChKlist item
i have had a few goes, but cant seem to achieve, this is where i am currently at:
Dim sl As String = ds.Tables("Consignment").Rows(0).Item("StaffName")
Dim tokens As String()
tokens = sl.Split(",")
[code]....
which errors with:
"List that this enumerator is bound to has been modified. An enumerator can only be used if the list does not change."
I have been trying to understand, would programmatically checking an item in a checkedlistbox be classified as list change?

Sep 15, 2006I am trying to figure out how to check if a registry key exists. If it does, do nothing, if it doesn't, recreate it.I've found numerous resources on the subject, and have made progress, but one little thing is stoping me.[code]The problem is that this reports "Not Found", even though the key 'regkey' exists in the registry. Also, if I remove 'regkey' from the code, it reports "Found". So it does find the subdirectory in the registry.My question is, how do I check to see if the 'regkey' exists? I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2.
