View 6 RepliesIn Windows 7 you can pin a program to the taskbar so it appears like a quicklaunch item. In my program I need to get a list of all the programs that are pinned to the taskbar. Does anyone know how I can do this programatically, either through an API call or through a registry setting?

I am a newbie so please forgive me if my terminology is incorrect.I am trying to Update a Registry sub key value. I have done this a few times before with success. But this time is kinda different. I noticed a few things,like the sub key value is in HEX when I export the key (The value that I want to input is from a sub key that I exported) I can only get the registry to accept the command if I do not specify the registry value kind, but that doesn't do me any good if its not the correct value kind.

In all the years that I've been coding I have never come accross this issue or error. For the past 3 months I have been working on two separate apps. Initialy I started out with Win Vista and things were going great except for how slow my comp was running. So I reinstalled the Vista OS. Everything was going great until Mar 7th when this error just started occuring within my code.
"Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTornadoAppsSwift BudgetUser' is denied"
TornadoApps/Swift Budget are strings created upon App install or first run of App in VB 2008.The User value along with 9 other values were all working fine prior to Mar 7th.Now this line along with many others like it with defferent strings and values were working just fine till this week. So i figured that I'd just upgrade to Win7 hoping that would fix it. IT didn't. So I reformatted and installed fresh Win7 and still have the error. So I have figured out that it isn't my OS. Cuase it was working in Vista then just quit working.
I have the error: "Error accessing the system registry" when I am in VB6. Goto Project --> References then I have that error.

this is strange, I've got a macro with an array containing several registry keys.
And I want to insert the values of these into predefined bookmarks in a Word document. This works great if the key is there, but if it isn't, I want the code to skip that and continue trying the next one in the array. I've got the code that looks like this:

I'm editing some settings in the registry and then adding items to a ListView.
[Code]...
If I'm not mistaken, the code will not continue in the Try block if the first part fails and then move on to the catch statement, correct? I'm adding and deleting a bunch of different entries in the registry and the computers I've tried my app on so far, have not failed. So I'm not able to test if this method will work for error catching. If there's a better method, I'd appreciate the info.
I have this simple code,
Protected Sub grdSearch_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles grdSearch.SelectedIndexChanged
TimeOff.Where = "UserName=""" & grdSearch.SelectedValue & """"
End Sub
Doing so causes this error, 'UserName' could not be resolved in the current scope or context. Make sure that all referenced variables are in scope, that required schemas are loaded, and that namespaces are referenced correctly. Near simple identifier, line 6, column 1.
The datasource works fine before the where property is set.Update: I found the issue but I still don't get it.Adding it. in the where clause solves the issue. Like this,
TimeOff.Where = "it.UserName=""" & grdSearch.SelectedValue & """"

I am using a user control using vb.net. It include the program to retrieve the values from database while giving the paramers. When I set the property from my main program i am getting an error "Invalid attempt to call Read when reader is closed." When i gone to the online help i got the message as follows "System.InvalidOperationException (.NET Framework 4)The exception that is thrown when a method call is invalid for the object's current state. InvalidOperationException is used in cases when the failure to invoke a method is caused by reasons other than invalid arguments. For example, InvalidOperationException is thrown by IEnumerator.MoveNext if objects of a collection are modified after the enumerator is created, or ResourceSet.GetString if the resource set is closed before the method call is made. If the method invocation failure is due to invalid arguments, then ArgumentException or one of its derived classes, ArgumentNullException or ArgumentOutOfRangeException, should be thrown instead.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am a beginner in Visual Basic programming. I am attempting to place a procedure in a module which I intend to Call from somewhere else in my application. The procedure below is almost exactlyhow it was on a form called PersonalInformationMy problem is that I get the error: "txtFirstName is not Declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level." I thought that maybe I was getting that errorbecause this procedure was not on the form that it was first written for.
Below is the code I am referring to-

I am updating a legacy application, and it was reading a dll from another project for a Dictionary(of Guid, String) of items and using them.
The requirements have changed, and the method that was returning the Dictionary is now returning an IList.
This is the odd behavior of this; the intellisense is not throwing a cast error, nor is the compiler. It does not throw an error until runtime when it tries to set the Dictionary to the IList.
Example:
Dim someDictionary As Dictionary(Of Integer, String) = New Dictionary(Of Integer, String)
Dim someList As IList(Of Integer)
someDictionary = someList
why the compiler is not catching this?
I have a project in VB 2008 Express, and I made a foolish mistake of assigning a string setting (ie my.settings.mystring) a very long string (the contents of a 115kb text file). After that the compiler threw an error and closed the IDE, now everytime..I open the project to try and get rid of the string the IDE throws an error 'system out of storage...' (my laptop has 4GB memory, ~100GB free hdd space) and promptly closes.
