VS 2008 API To Get List Of Installed Programs

Dec 2, 2009

I'd like to mention that getting a list of the installed programs via the registry is not a viable way to receive a full an accurate list. The two main areas where the programs in the registry are stored, are mainly MS programs. Some manufacturers put their keys here as well, but most don't. And since it's impossible to know where the manufacturer has stored the key, let alone the name of the key that would give the list and the uninstall capability, it's not ideal to use the registry.

That being said, I was told that there is a COM API that Microsoft has made and uses in the Windows OS and was hoping someone knew what that API is and how to maybe implement it in VB.

VS 2008 - Grabbing List Of Installed Programs

Aug 31, 2009

I'm currently using the following to code to grab the installed programs and list them in a ListView:

vb.net
Dim SoftwareKey As String = "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstallerUserDataS-1-5-18Products"
Using rk As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(SoftwareKey)
For Each skName In rk.GetSubKeyNames

vb.net

Build A Class Or A Part Of A Program That Can Be Add Into Other Programs To Be Used In That Programs?

May 27, 2011

I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).

List Box Value Sum Up In Four Different Listbox?

Jan 13, 2010

i can currently designing a account book program. I have five listboxs..with list1,list2,list3,list4 and list5.

FOr cost: List1 is the item code and list2 will be the price..
For sold out item : List3 is the item code and list4 will be the price..
For profit : List 5 = list 2's item price - list 4's price

What i wana do is, the item tat sold out will be listed in list3, so then list3 item will be compared to list1. if list1 item contains list3 item, therefore in the same index, list3 item price (list4) will be deducted by list 1 item price(list2) and shown in list 5. here is my code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim totalitem As Integer = list3.Items.Count - 1

[Code].....
