Read The Keyname In Registry
Oct 31, 2009
i want to read all the value names from registry.. Example:
Dim readValue As String
readValue = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", "Path", Nothing)
So this will write the "Data" (The exe location) from the Path! But now i want to read all the Values from Run, and write them, not just one, the Path! I want to see all of them from Run, not only the Path! I also repalce "Path" with Nothing, or "", but dosn't work ...

I'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?

[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]

I 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.
If My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERA Sim Game StudiosA Sim Game - Business",
"FirstRun", "1") Then
MessageBox.Show("Your name is Jay J, you are 23 years old")

I'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]..

I 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...]

I 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.

If 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:
Dim dict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
dict.Add("item1", Nothing)
dict.Add("item2", Nothing)

I 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 ?
