May 18, 2012I'm having troubles reading the values from a registy key, basically I already have my code working which reads back data from a registry key with the name "Printer" however I also have another key called "Printer" and when I attempt to read that the "+" get ignored and it reads back "data" which is in the same location. Is there a simple way of reading it back which won't mean large changes to code that is already working as I need it to?

Read A 64 Bit Registry With A 32 Bit .net Application?
Oct 3, 2011[code]After spending hours of research.I finally figured out the vb.net version on how to read a 64 bit registry with a 32 bit .net application. The importance of this is when you try to write to one part of the registry, it gets redirected somewhere else in the registry, which is super annoying.[code]

Jan 8, 2011I want to read a string from a registry key, if its 0 do one thing, and if its 1, do something else.
This code (if it works..) would at the first time create a sub key, and assign it to 1, but if its not existing, it would then show a few messageboxe's - But it doesnt work, even if I set it to 1 or 0, it won't work, it always displays the messages.

Read Registry Value As Integer?
Jan 4, 2012I'm reading the registry values under the uninstall registry keys. I use string variables to store the program name and program version. This usually works fine but for example Firefox 10.0 appears to be less the Firefox 9 since the version is a string value. V is the string variable that stores the DisplayVersion found in the registry is there a way to read registry valuables to integer?[code]..

Determine OS Type For Wow6432Node Registry?
Oct 14, 2010I need to check a value within the registry. The application (Cisco VPN) is a 32bit app so uses Wow6432Node when installed on 64bit operating systems.What would be the best method of selecting which string to use? Checking the OS for x64, attempting to read one and then the other if the first fails? Or is there a better method?
Dim keyName64 As String = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareWow6432NodeCisco SystemsVPN Client"
Dim keyName32 As String = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareCisco SystemsVPN Client"
Using .net 4.0 framework?:
Dim registryKey As RegistryKey
If Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem = True Then
registryKey = registryKey.OpenBaseKey(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64)
Else
registryKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry32)
End If

View 3 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 Binary Data From Registry?
Jan 10, 2010I have a serious problem reading that stuff, it seems I can't get it right.The registry key I want to retrieve looks like this:
And this is the code i used:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim readValue = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _[code].....
The problems is that it returns something like: "V???????=dQ???!u?1?" What the ____ is that anyway? So in reality it should be like "c3gm322dvf" or something like that.
Read Bunch Of Items From Registry?
Oct 4, 2011If I need to read a bunch of items from the Registry, the following gets tiring fast:
Dim item1, item2 As String
item1 = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue(KeyValue, "item1", Nothing)
item2 = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue(KeyValue, "item2", Nothing)
Is there a smarter, more compact way to do this?
I was thinking of using a dictionary object, but it doesn't work as planned:

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 ?
