How To Find Registry Subkey Based On Its Value Names
Jun 13, 2011
I'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"
When the registry subkey value of "Compact Check Count" Dword reaches 100,Outlook Express starts posting nag screen each time you close it asking if you want to compact all your emails The Following snippet Gets the current value of the subkey
Imports Microsoft.Win32.Registry 'Get Path of dword Public Class Form1 Dim keyvalue As String
I need to check for a registry cubkey I know how to check for an empty value but not if the subkey is missing In particluar this key
[code]...
here is code that i have for checking an empty registry value for instance a registry value named run. So if the key RUN has no value it returns true on the checkbox. Im not sure how to modify this code to check for an entire subkey as there is other subkeys where the one above is contained.
EDIT: 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
i have a little Application where i read the names of Services from the Registry.In Windows XP no Problem at all but in Windows 7 they are not permanently in the Registry.They can be found in HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsMuiCacheA246693477 but not permanently since its a cache it works after reboot but after a few hours these get deleted and i have no readable Names anymore only those Values like
@%SystemRoot%system32audiosrv.dll,-204
So the Problem is i need a way to get Service Names no mattter how long the PC is running ^^.Is there another way to get the clear Service Names permanently so i dont have to reboot after a few hours?
I have a directory with about 200 files in it. Is there a way to create a folder for each file with the folder name being the same as the file name minus the extension and then put the file in the folder.For example: Folder "test" would be created from file "test.doc". Then the file "test.doc" would be moved into folder "test".I have some experience with visual basic, and my thought process for this was: make a loop that brought in each file name > store as a variable > create folder with the name in the variable > remove the last four characters from the folder name > move file into the folder > clear variable > repeat.

Is there a method to find the property names for an activeX object via an interface? The property names I am searching for are the ones used in the OBJECT / param HTML tag.

The program opens with the correct registry value, but the program itself does not run quite right. This program feeds into Intergraph and brings up the selected drawing, but there is a feature of intergraph that doesn't work. If I manually start ( double click ) pdsicon.exe the program works just fine. It only when I call the process that it doesn't work quite right.

I have a DataGridView with 3 columns (metric_key, metric_name, metric_value).There are for example, 6 ROWS in this table (6 different metrics), added programmatically (DGV is not bound in any way)
Now, when I assign values in my grid I do:
dataGridView1.item("Metric_value",0).value = "value of the metric in row 0, in the column named "metric_Value".
I am trying to code a delete button for a browsing program based on data from a txt file. I have coded the buttons to sort(ascending and descending), append to the text file, search the text file, but I can not seem to get the delete function working. I am using VB 2010, this is what I have so far:
Code: Dim deleline As String Dim line As String Dim isFound As Boolean = False sr4 = IO.File.OpenText("Students.txt")
I will have a directory of files (IFO, BUP, and VOB; DVD files for anyone who cares), I need to find the first one by sorting these like this: Filter out everything that does not have a .VOB in it, then find the one like this VTS_**_1.VOB. It will always have a "1" before the extension, but the two numbers before that change, lastly I need that file returned as a variable.
I am working on a VB Console Application that takes an Autocad drawing type DWG and converts it to a PDF using a shell command that calls a third party application. In this case, acmecadconverter.exe from www.dwgtool.com. Then the PDF that is created needs a unique watermark, so I call a second application for that called pdftk.exe from www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/.
Everything works as intended, except when I try file names that contain spaces. The file system object does not tolerate spaces in the drawing file name. For instance, the following command gives me a system.io.filenotfoundexception...
