I've been trying to wrap my head around using the registry, but I have to say I'm a little lost. Is there a way I can use a "path structure" to write to a specific key, rather than using it as a dim and storing it in memory?

I have a form with two web browsers. I have webbrowser1 navigate to a parent url and webrowser2 navigate to child url.
The page in webbrowser2 loads correctly but when I make a change to an element it doesn't also change the value in webbrowser1 as it should.
Should I be looking at cookies or something else?
I want to make something that can on button click navigate to a page, wait the time I specified and navigate to another page..

This does not do what I thought it would do..I think that the problem is that when it sees System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) everything stops for 5 secs .How can I make it go to google.com and then after 5 seconds, yahoo?
I would like for my program to navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines and multiple url links inside of it. I know how to make the webbrowser1.navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines, however I want my webbrowser to navigate to each url every 1-1.5 seconds once button1 is clicked. Yes, my webbrowser1 will navigate to the specified urls via the textbox1.text (multilines) with a button click, but I need the webbrowser1 to navigate in a order sequence from top to bottom of Textbox1.text (multiplelines) every 1 second. Here is the current code that I have to navigate via multilined textbox1.text control in order sequence:

Currently, 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 RepliesI 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?

View 3 RepliesMy development machine runs Windows XP, but the target machine runs Windows 2000 with .NET 2.0.I've set my compile options to compile 2.0, which is fine.However, I have some references which are causing issues.For example, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll - in VS2008 the path is shows as the C:Windowsassembly folder which works fine. Until the app is built and run on the target machine and fails:Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture-neutrl, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.Presumably because on Windows 2000 the assembly folder is C:WINNT.I cannot work out how to target the WINNT folder for my references.
View 9 RepliesThe end result I am looking for is I want to add File Paths to a CheckedListBox. I only want certain file extensions and if a file by the same name but a specific extension exsists allready then I do not want to add those files to the CheckedListBox.
Example: I am only wanting these filetypes in my CheckedListBox (.gif, .tif, .bmp, and .jpg).However if the filetype (.PNG) allready exsists with the same filename (i.e. image. png and image.jpg) I then do NOT want to add that JPG. Only files that do not allready have a PNG with the same name. (I hope I was able to make this clear)

I am preparing a project for distribution, and I need advice as to how to establish my paths to some of the dynamic data elements; sound clips, external imagery and a database.I am reading the environment.startuppath, but it's pointing all the way in to the debug folder, whixh I'm sure I'm not going to be using when I publish things for distribution.I was hoping for something that could establish a relative base folder, and then just reference a few subfolders from there.
View 14 RepliesI wrote an application that shows about 2000 GPS track segments on a map (ATV trails in Quebec). The user may select and zoom an area of the map, then print a detailed map that includes the GPS tracks:
When I print the map, I use the full resulution of the printer, so a 8.5x11 lanscape page on a laser printer generates a 6260 x 4800 bitmap. If I preview or print the entire page WITHOUT showing the GPS tracks, it appears / prints within 5-10 seconds.
When I include the GPS tracks, the preview is very fast (5-10 seconds) but the actual printing now takes over 10-12 MINUTES! I fail to see why the printing becomes SO SLOW when I include my GPS tracks.
My map only includes 3 graphics path, which were defined only once at the maximum zoom level:
- One RED path that includes all the tracks valid all year long (AnnualPath)
- One GREEN path that includes all the summer tracks (SummerPath)
- One BLUE path that includes all the winter tracks (WinterPath)
The printing is slow only when I add the 3 graphicspath to my printing output and looks like this:
' e = Drawing buffer of the Print function Factor = adjustment factor between the zoom level used when the graphicspath were defined and the actual printing zoom level
' HorzOffset = Horizontal adjustment to align the graphicspath with the output buffer VertOffset = Vertical adjustment to align the graphicspath with the output buffer
[Code]...
Anyone has an idea why adding a graphicspath to a printed page drastically slow it down? What should I do to imprime the printing speed? I have been baging my head on my monitor for the past week and I fail to see how I can fix that problem.
I have this code for drawing a path.
Dim map As New Bitmap(l1.Size.Width, l1.Size.Height, l1.CreateGraphics)
Dim nextPoint As Point
Using g As Drawing.Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(map)
Dim dPath As New Drawing2D.GraphicsPath
For i As Integer = 0 To path.Count - 1
[Code] .....
l1 is a Label. When I call this it draws the path fine, but when I call it again it draws another path but doesn't get rid of the first path. Basically, I only want one path on the Label at a time.

We have a multilingual site, or culture-sensitive, and some of the static content now needs to be targeted; for this I'm using themes as it seems the easiest way to achieve what I want, but I can't for the life of me get the images to pick up.I'm setting the theme in code-behind, and thought at first that maybe this was the issue, but on checking up it looks like I'm doing the right thing (setting on Pre-Init).I expect to be able to reference images using relative paths where App_Themes/ThemeName/ is automatically resolved, such as:[code]In the above code, CurrentSite. Culture Name would be a language culture name (for example, en-gb, or nn-no) that does have an existing corresponding theme folder containing all required resources.Pages do have EnableTheming set to True. Also, I have tried removing the theme-setting code and applying the theme in the page using Theme="en-gb" to no avail.Is there anything immediately evident as to why the URLs aren't resolved?
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with my code. My code is using the fileupload control to browse for a filename when you add a filename it processes it and the code runs fine on when it lives on local host, but when I put the code on our prodution server it cannot find the filenames listed by user.
For example if I use the upload control to browse to B:MISCH IntiveRPTTOFL_3.csv and the code lives on my localhost which know what that file path means it works, but if the code is moved to a production server it may or maynot know what B:/ is or B:/ maybe mapped to something else. Even if I am browsing to a file on my C drive it will work on if the code is on the machine that the C drive is on, but it will not work if the code is on another machine because obviously that file wouldnt be on that C drive.
