I would like to get applications that run on start up as show them in a list box (Name Value & Data Value). The registry key where the information is stored is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun. I have wrote code before the gets the subkey values and list them but I'm having trouble remembering how.

Normally, that exception is thrown when an object's value is Nothing. However, I've been through each subkey manually and everyone has a name. The only one I could think of that doesn't, are the (Default) keys.
The issue is that I can't seem to figure out how to loop through the subkeys and check if they're nothing. If I create a loop and call ".GetSubKeyNames() to check if they're Nothing, I still get the exception because it attempts to get the names before I can even check them.
I have an application where i need to enumerate the random subkeys under another registry key and then create a new registry value. The problem is I cannot figure out how to enumerate those values and then write my new values The key specifically is SystemCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParametersInterfaces{NIC-id}where NIC-id is a subkey with random letters and numbers. However the caveat is if I can only write values under the NIC-id's that have IP addresses... if not that is fine too but I would prefer to only write the valus below under NIC cards that have IP addresses
View 18 RepliesI'm having a problem when I list .rar-files into a ListBox. I can list .rar-files OK from subdirectories, but what I want to determine if the file is actually the first part of .rar-archive. The new .rar-format packs files like:
Archive.part01.rar
Archive.part02.rar
Archive.part03.rar
...
So I have no idea when I'm listing the first part of the archive or actually listing the other parts.

You see, in my new VB application, I have a form with a TextBox and a ListBox, and I need to make it so that, whenever some text is written in the TextBox, a SELECT operation must be performed in a table belonging to an SQL database, in order to return the elements of a particular column that are LIKE the text I just wrote in my TextBox. The results of this SELECT operation must then be written inside the ListBox.In other words, whenever I have some text inside my TextBox1, I have to do:
SELECT Description FROM Elements WHERE Description LIKE TextBox1.Text (this must be done whenever the text changes)And the results of this operation must be displayed in the ListBox on the side.
I'm almost sure that I've seen this somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. Or maybe I'm imagining it, which would'nt be strange either.
When creating a sub or function and adding parameters used when calling it.
-Is it possible to list the parameters that I can enter when using it somewhere in my code?
E.g.
Public Sub MessageMain(ByVal Message As String, ByVal MessageType As String (List of possible values for MessageType)) Same for example as when you have boolean values in a sub/function. As soon as you use that somewhere in your code intellisense will present you with True/False to select.
I'd like the same for parameters in subs or functions I create and calling them from somewhere in my code. Saves me the trouble of remembering which options are available for those parameters.
I am trying to list all printers (PrintersConnections) under all users (HKEY_USERS)
problem is I dont know the user name keys in advance and need to exclude .DEFAULT and *_CLASSES so first I need to list all key names (%usernamekey%) directly under HKEY_USERS then for all keys that lists lsit all keys under HKEY_USERS\%usernamekey%PrintersConnections
Here is the code I have so far but I get errors about object variable not set, I suspect because of the way I doing the for each and listing the key names and then doing it again

I 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.
My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", True)

Is there any way I can open a registry file that is not from the local machine? I have the software and system files from another PC and need to create a small code to read and get values from the files. The other PC is down and I just have the registry files so I ruled out the OpenRemoteSubKey method. However, the My.Computer.Registry.GetValue only works on the local machine.

i want to make a program that will 'clean' up a computer, so far i can make it delete temp files, clear history, empty the recycle bin, even startup windows disk defrag... basic stuff like that Now i want it to go into windows registry and add some preset values, for example: HKEY_CURRENT_USER // Control Panel // Desktop // MenuShowDelay is by default 400, but i want to set it to 200 or something...i would also need the program to figure out which OS the computer is running (xp/vista/7) and only use the appropriate key and value,

I have tried to solve this myself and I know I am probably doing something really silly here what I have is two different registry values that control what is displayed in the combobox on my form RegistryKey1 has the following values:0,1 or it does not existRegistryKey2 has the following values2,3, or 4 the combobox has the following values 0,1,2,3 However here is the problem if the RegistryKey2 is 2 then it further has to be checked if RegistryKey1 is either 0,1 or does not exist
if it is 1 then the selectedindex = 0
if it is 0 or does not exist then the selectedindex = 1
if RegistryKey2 is 3 then the selectedindex = 2

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.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to read multiple values from a registry subkey in the CurrentUser key. I need to display these values in a listbox with multiple lines. I so far can only get one of the values from the subkey. I know (or at least I think I know) that I need to list the values in a string (with a possible loop), and then just display the string to the listbox. The subkey is the TypedURLs under CurrentUserSoftwareMicrosoftInternet Explorer Typed URLs. Here is my code I have so far (I did a year of basic VB as part of my Uni course).[code]
View 4 RepliesI am wondering if there is a way to get the keys from the registry and display them in a checked listbox. For example I want to get all the keys and there values from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun". This will allow me to see all the startup items. Is there a way that I can get all the values and display them in a checked listbox. I tried using the GetValue but it seems that you have to set the key that you want.
View 8 RepliesI have a program which will search the entire registry for a keyword and display all the matching keys/values in a listview. The user can then select the desired keys/values and delete them. Since this a program that deals with registry, I want to give the users a way to backup the registry before they do the delete operation. I would like to know what is the best approach for this.
3 questions here:
1- Should I backup the entire registry ?
2- Should I backup only the keys/values that the user has selected in the listview ?
3 - Can I have the sample code or appropriate URL's which describes this.
I want to enumerate all of the values within a given registry subkey (for example 'HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun')

View 1 RepliesI am very new to vb.net. I have been using vb6 for a while and I am making the leap.I have a list box that receives entries from another text box, there will be multiple entries, and only some will be applicable per record(its a report writing app).e.g. The user says ok I need this and that signer for this record.
lstSigners.Items.Add(strSigner + strSigner)
The entries that are needed are then selected via checkbox in the listbox. I now need to be able to capture which items the user selected.
