View 1 RepliesFile I/O And Registry :: XML Read/Write
Apr 28, 2012I was unable to find anything in my searches for XML or INI on the forum so i apologize now if this has already been asked and answered before.
I have been searching Google for days now, trying to find information on Reading and Writing XML files. I wish to use them to replace INI files in my programs.
I have been using VB6 for years now, but was able to get a copy of VB.NET 2003 really cheap and so i am trying to learn how to do the things i did in VB6 in VB.NET 2003.
I was able to find code to write to an INI file, but was not able to successfully read from an INI file with any of the code i found.
I have been able to find code to write an XML file, but when i try to update it, it replaces the old file with a new one, and the old settings are missing, instead of the new settings added to it.
i can at least start migrating to VB.NET 2003, or if you read XML and update XML data, i can switch now. Here is the code i have for writing XML.[code...]
Read/Write To Win7 Registry?
Apr 19, 2011I have an application which reads and writes to the registry. If the programs starts, it looks if the registry keys exists. If not it create the keys. All this is working fine on a Windows XP machine.
Now we moved to Windows 7 and it is not possible to write to the keys. First I need to go to the registry and add permissions. Then it works !
Is it possible to change the permissions in the .Net code and make it able to write to the registry without changing permissions through regedit ?

VS 2010 Wrong Write To Registry In Windows 7 64-Bit?
Mar 10, 2012my code is as below.
vb
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine RegKey = RegKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUIBackground", True) RegKey.SetValue("OEMBackground", "00000000") RegKey.Close()
If I output the contents of it on a msgbox, things are fine, but when I go to regedit, the change doesn't happen where it should as it actually happens in another registry key located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUIBac
k ground which I guess happens since I am on windows 7 64 bit, but I don't want that to happen as doing that doesn't change anything. The key I'm trying to change makes changing the default logon screen possible in Win7, but it's not working like this since the wrong key is being modified.
Windows Service Not Able To Read Current User's Registry?
Sep 9, 2009I developed a windows service project using vb.net and windows service is installed with logon account as admin's user name and password. Target of windows service is to read the pst file path location from windows registry for currently logged user by accessing the following registry key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWindows Messaging SubsystemProfilesOutlook52a407cf2e436a4d8fe252d1d257465501f6700".
The problem is , windows service can able to read the admin pst file path location if admin is logged in windows. When other user logged in windows, service is not able to read currently logged user's pst file path location from registry because of windows service is configured with admin user name and password. so it always reads admin's pst file location.

View 7 RepliesFile I/O And Registry :: File Read/write From A Collection?
Nov 17, 2010I am working on a program with multiple collections related to one another for a school project. Each collection needs to have its own defined properties and have the objects written (1 per line) to a text file.
I have all of that working.
When reading the comma-separated line from the file, I want to place one of the properties of the object in a listbox (so that all the objects' names will show up in the listbox). I think I have this part figured out...
My problem is that when you click on the name in the listbox, I would like multiple text boxes to be populated with the appropriate, corresponding properties of the particular object in the collection...is there a way for this to be done?
