Loop Through Registry To Find Specific Key?
Oct 6, 2009I have a VBS script that allows me to do a recursive search through a specific registry key to find a key value in multiple of the key directories. And unfortunately it dosn't want to work properly with vb.net in my visual studio even when i try to make the syntax changes
just look through the HKLM\MICROSOFT key to search for any occurences of "DigitalProductID"

View 1 RepliesHow 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"
File I/O And Registry :: Find/Extract String From A Text File?
Jun 7, 2011I've got an application that passes commands to a terminal window and saves all the output to a text file Here is one of the commands my application passes to the terminal

File I/O And Registry :: Email Accounts Stored In Registry
Jul 14, 2011Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.
View 1 RepliesFile I/O And Registry :: Reading Multiple Keys From The Registry?
Aug 27, 2008I am writing an application that connects to a specific com port. This com port can change depending on how many physical ports are on the PC, and if other USB devices have installed com ports before this one.
I have the communication to the com port all working great, but I need to get the com port description not just the "COM#" which is all I currently get.
I found in the registry where the description is stored but am having trouble doing what I need.
In this key:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
there is a varied number of sub keys. The are numbered 0000-NNNN depending on how many ports you have. Inside each of these keys, there are multiple values, although I am only interested in one or 2 of them.
My problem is, that I do not know how to get a list of the subkeys (the 0000-NNNN keys/folders) from the original key I posted. I have looked through a few registry tutorials, and I can view the default value in the listed key, but I could not find how to list the subkeys of the listed key.
Does anyone have any sample code they could share that shows how I can get a listing of subkeys, and then run through those subkeys checking for a specific value in one of the strings contained in the subkey?
I am using VB.net 2008 and Windows XP.

Registry Values Not Being Added To Registry?
Aug 4, 2011I wrote an application to manage several installers and I wanted to throw in some registry settings as well. Unfortunately the following code is not writing to the registry, nor is it returning any exceptions.I'm running Visual Basic 2010 Express as administrator using Windows 7 64 bit, I can manually add the values, and I can add them from a .reg file manually but not even by calling the .reg file as a new process (it asks for permission, says it succeeded, but nothing changed).The key already exists, all I need to do is add two values.

Using Selection.Find In Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word To Find Tracked Changes In A Document?
Apr 15, 2009I am currently using the code below within a VB.Net application to find specific text in a Word document.

The issue now is that sometimes the desired text within a document has been marked for deletion and appears as tracked change within the document. I would like to find only the desired text that has NOT been marked for deletion. Does anyone know of a way to determine if the found text is a deletion?

VS 2008 Does FIND Always Find Within The FILTER Of A Binding Source
Jun 8, 2009I've got a form - CMCConsole It pops up a dialog form for adding a new case.If the matter number in a textbox on that dialog form matches an existing cases matter number I would like to find it in the binding source of the CMCConsole form
Private Function CheckMatter(ByVal MtrNum As String) As Boolean
Dim cfIndex As Integer = CMCConsole.caseBS.Find("MatterNumber", MtrNum)
Dim cfIndex2 As Integer = CMCConsole.casefileBS.Find("MatterNumber", MtrNum)

But it appear the filter for the CASE we were just on that is set on the binding source is keeping the FIND from seeing other cases.
caseBS.Filter = "CaseId=" & e.Node.Tag.ToString
Do I have to clear the filter in order to find a matter number in some other case??

View 1 RepliesFind Function Does Not Find Last Occurrence
Dec 12, 2009I have a rich text box with the following text in it:
word word
I am finding the endings of the word, that is, the string "rd". The following code finds the first occurance, but then fails to find the last occurance, and the variable "indexToText " changes to -1.After the first search, the debugger shows the startLocation at character position 4, so it is not past the second occurance but still will not find it.
indexToText = FrmMain.RichTextBoxPrintCtrl1.Find(searchValue, _
startLocation, eof, RichTextBoxFinds.None)
If I change the text to:
word word word
It then finds the first two occurrences and fails to find the last occurrence.No matter how many words I add, it always fails to find the last occurrence.
