Adding And Retrieving Registry String?
Jul 17, 2009
Lets say my program requires a password of "vbforums" to bootup. The user enters "vbforums" and clicks enter to proceed to the program.I want to make a registry value in the registry under my program with that text. And now on load up i would want to be able to check to see if the correct password is in that specific spot in the registry.I have never fooled with the registry so im pretty lost, i tried doing a bit of searching on the forums but couldn't find anything. Anyone know how i would do this?

I'm currently trying to add all the sections of a specified .ini into a combobox.[code]Now that's my section in the .ini, but it's scrambled and placed into multiple lines. I just want it on a single line as said in the .ini.Does anyone have any idea how to get values between brackets "[hi]" and place the value between the brackets into the combobox items?

I'm stuck on a problem that I haven't been able solve. I'm making a visual basic program that communicates with an SQL-database. The problem emerged when I tried to retrieve data from the database with the help of SqlDataReader and save data from every row to a list (Customer) with the help of Add-method. It turned out that eventually the list had correct number of objects, but the information was the very same in each object of the list.

I am making a simple application that will be able to store competition data into a text file that I have given a custom extension to on saving. Here is an example of the format that i have saved the data in.
Code:
[Comp_Name]Test Competition[Comp_Name]
[Location]Silverwood Lurgan[Location]
[Type]Teams[Type]
[Code]....
When i open the file, i want to redisplay the data in separate text boxes. Later on in the project i want to be able to search within the file for headings for example;
if "[Heat1]" is present then get all text between [Heat1] and [Heat1]
i am currently able to use the streamreader and open file dialog to retrieve the entire string of text fromthe however i am not sure how to go about getting the text between the headings I have used.

I took the following method to make a registry key in my setup project. When I run setup, it says Could not write value Run to the key. Verify that you have the sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. "Below I have copied the code that I took from the forum After you have built your own application project, Right Click the "Solution" to "Add a New Project", of cource the project type is Setup and Deployment Project.
Add the "Project Outputs" into the setup project, here, it can be the your own application,Most of important step: Open the "Regstry" view of the setup project, then add new keys in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" according to the information I just mentioned. Below the key "Run", you can add a new string value. Then in the value's "Properties" view, enter "[TARGETDIR]YourApplicationName.exe" .Install your application using the msi file created by setup project, then restart your computer, you can see the result.

I am getting the error "Object reference not set to an instance of the object" Debugger is suggesting to use the "New" keyword to create an object instance, or to Check to determine if the object is null before calling the method. Error is occurring on line 27: "sReturn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(strConnection).ConnectionString" I;m not sure where to go from here.

My computer's assettag formats like "1234567.1", the number behind the dot represent Node ID, which is assigned automatically by BMC chip during computer POST.
The question is, when I am using objSMBIOS.SMBIOSAssetTag to retrieve the assettag, I can only get "1234567", the node ID".1" is missing. However some other DMI tool such as "RW" can get the full assettag with out problem.
Now I need to script this to get node ID information every time OS starts, so I ask why the node ID part of asset tag is gone? any other way can I get SMBIOS type 3 infromation?

I have two .resx files in my project. One is called Labels.resx , the other is called Labels.fr.resx. The first is meant to be English the second is French. Right now they each only have one item, a string with the key "label1". The values are in English and French.The issue is that even when I try to access the resource as French just hard coding the culture in an attempt to get this working:
'hard code the culture as French

Label1.Font = FontDialog1.Font
Label2.Font = FontDialog1.Font
Label3.Font = FontDialog1.Font
I want iterate through the labels in a For..next loop like so:

I am writing a small app that is retrieving data from a device connected to a virtual com-port. I connect without problems to the device using the settings 9600-8-N-1.
I need to send the command <esc>MS , the device then sends back the data to a computer. I have tried this using Hyperterminal with success. I also did this with Excel and VBA. I used the MSComm32 Active X control:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(27) + "M" + "S" + Chr$(13)
Msgbox(MSComm1.Input)
This made the data from the device pop up in a messagebox. I am writing a winforms app in vb.net, using VS2005. I have a form, on which I have a Placed a SerialPort control, named sp. My sample code is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
[CODE]...
This returns the error message "Error: expecting a command". I have done som tests in HyperTerminal, and have concluded with:
-If I dont send <esc>, I get error "Expecting a command"
-If I send wrong command (ie MD instead of MS) i get error "Bad command"
Based on this, I suspect that I don't pass the escape character correctly to my device. So I wonder how to do this?

I have some code that splits a session into strings by a -
My session looks something like this 123-456-789- and I split it like this
Dim MyString As String() = Session("MySession").Split("-"C)
And i've got a some code like this
Dim x as Integer
For x = 0 to MyString - 1
Response.write("Ref: " & MyString(x) & "<br>")
Next
This writes the code like this
Ref: 123
Ref: 456
Ref: 789
Ref:
So it's adding an extra Ref where it shouldn't be because there is no data after the last -
Is there a way to stop this adding in the extra one?

I want to read a string from a registry key, if its 0 do one thing, and if its 1, do something else.
This code (if it works..) would at the first time create a sub key, and assign it to 1, but if its not existing, it would then show a few messageboxe's - But it doesnt work, even if I set it to 1 or 0, it won't work, it always displays the messages.
If My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERA Sim Game StudiosA Sim Game - Business",
"FirstRun", "1") Then
MessageBox.Show("Your name is Jay J, you are 23 years old")

I am working on a VB.net winform application which makes extensive us of a mssql database. For the most part (almost exclusively), I have used the Visual Studio dataset for accessing the data. This means that the connection string was created as a program setting, and is saved in the app.config file. The problem that I have, is that I need to move this connection string to the system registry because it has been deemed by the powers that be that a config file is not secure enough.
I think that I can figure out how to access a registry key, and I know that I can save the string to a registry key, but the problem that I am running into is that I don't access the connection key in the code anywhere to easily swap out the registry key for the existing program setting. When VS creates the connection and dataset, where is the connection string referenced? Is there a simple way to swap these out? is it possible even to just reference the registry key in the setting so that I don't have to find where the setting is used and switch it out?

I have the following code to retrieve a string value from the registry.
Dim retval As String = String.Empty
Try
objManagementBaseObject = objManagementClass.GetMethodParameters("GetStringValue")
[Code]...
The problem is that if sValue doesn't exist, it generates a ManagementException. I want those errors ignored because I don't care if the value doesn't exist, it's entirely possible and acceptable. How can I "accept" those errors but display all others?

I thought you could use a structure as a container. I have line_1 with a line of data read in from a file. I only want to Look in position 1 of the line and position 8 for 9 and position 31 for 11. If I create a line_2 with the parts broken out for pieces that I want to look at then I could use a with statement right?

I've been trying to convert this .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="socks=localhost:8080"
[Code]....
But so far, all the values have been getting muddled up (They are put in the wrong place or with others) and some values aren't added. I think it's because all the values are of different types, but I'm not sure how to fix it and specify what type of value they are.

I recently have been developing a app that uses the rijndael encrypt and decrypt function it stores dates in the registry (encrypted with a key using the algorithm)
for example Dim strOldDay As String = Key.GetValue("UserSettings", "").ToString the key was made using a private function called "createkeys"
example:
dim current as currentdate
Current.Day = DateTime.Now.Day.ToString
Current.Day = Encrypt(pPassPhrase, Current.Day)
