Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey Returns Nothing When Called From A Service?
Oct 25, 2010
In a VB.NET application that runs as a service, I am getting a value of "Nothing" returned when I use Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(). The same code executes correctly when the application runs in desktop mode. I am not much on VB.NET and unfortunately, this is not my code.
Code:
Dim regURL As String = "SoftwareMyCompany" + _
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly.GetName.Name + _
I am basically trying to access the CLSID portion of the registry... some CLSIDs are working, some arent...
Here is my code: Dim regkey As RegistryKey regkey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("CLSID" & location & "InprocServer32", False) 'Just Returns null when im looking for a certain CLSID Dim SubKeyvalues() As String = regkey.GetValueNames() Dim subkeyvalue As String subkeyvalue = regkey.GetValue(SubKeyvalues(0))
"The specified RegistryKeyPermissionCheck value is invalid.Parameter name: mode"I have messed around with the code so dam much but still get that error.Here is the original just cant seem to figure this out at all, i even have regedit open on that key and no changes are being made.
I have written a window service. and I am able to successfully install/run the service. Now I have added a timer to the service and I want to be able to adjust the interval via the registry. But I can't figure out why GetSetting("MyAppName", "MySection", "IntervalSetting") will NOT return the value in the registry!
Am I missing something? Does GetSetting() not work when called from a windows service?
I have been given the task of calling a web service which returns an xml data feed which I am doing like so: For Each r As DataRow in SomeDataTable Dim msFeed As String = string.format("[URL]?param={0}", r!SOME_VAL) Dim x As XDocument = XDocument.Load(msFeed) Next This is all fine but as you can see x just gets overwritten with every iteration. What I need is create an xDocument and add each feed from my loop but I am unsure how to proceed.
Solution Dim xAllFeeds As XElement = New XElement("Feeds") For Each r As DataRow in SomeDataTable Dim msFeed As String = string.format("[URL]?param={0}", r!SOME_VAL) Dim x As XDocument = XDocument.Load(msFeed) xAllFeeds.Add(x.Root) Next
I am trying to read the HKEY_USERS hive of a remote machine with this Class
Imports System.Management Imports System.Management.Instrumentation Public Enum RegHive As UInteger
[Code]....
The value of sSubKeyName is the user's SID + "" + Network (e.g. S-1-5-21-1606980848-2025429265-839522115-560021Network). Now under that key are various subkeys containing mapped drive letters. But it never returns anything.
Strangely, if I use the OpenRemoteBaseKey method it works BUT I don't want to use that because using WMI lets me specify alternate credentials and OpenRemoteBaseKey doesn't
I'm trying to get data with the methods below and I get null response and can't figure out why. I'm just trying out a different way of using a wcf service from silverlight and I don't understand something that I should.[code]...
The employee object will stay null. If I put a break into the service call and follow through the code it finds the correct record from the database and the return statement shows an object with the correct data but still the employee object in silverlight side will remain null.
This same (Identical ) code works well in another program but does not in windows service... Returns 0 for window handle ...?

i have a little Application where i read the names of Services from the Registry.In Windows XP no Problem at all but in Windows 7 they are not permanently in the Registry.They can be found in HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsMuiCacheA246693477 but not permanently since its a cache it works after reboot but after a few hours these get deleted and i have no readable Names anymore only those Values like
@%SystemRoot%system32audiosrv.dll,-204
So the Problem is i need a way to get Service Names no mattter how long the PC is running ^^.Is there another way to get the clear Service Names permanently so i dont have to reboot after a few hours?
I am trying to change the path of Service ImagePath value in registry just after installation. Unfortunately my change path becomes only single letter in registry.[code]Source code for changing the ServiceConfig taken from codeproject.
I 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
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.
i was wondering if it possible to have a condition where lets say you have a column in the datatable called amount and a textbox acting as the filter called say maxamount to set it so the rowfilter when filtering the table will sum the number in the amount column until the number in maxamount is met, then stop and only return the rows where the total sum of the amount column is equal or less than the maxamount value, so i guess if the next row takes us over the maxamount it discards this row and returns the rows previous to it. is this possible using datagridview rowfilter or should i be loooking elsewhere to achieve this?
I have an sql table called Stock with two fields called StockID and StockCode. I want the user to select the stockcode from a combo which in turn populates the stockid for that item into a lable on my form. I have already populated the stockcode into the combo but dont know how to compelte the rest.
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class cbo2 Private Sub cbo2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
I have a form called FrmPracDetails which is built up with a List view called LvwColProc. Therefore when you click a field on the LvwColProc it takes you to another form called FrmColProcessing, here you can make changes to certain fields which are also present on FrmPracDetails. What I want to do is when you make changes on FrmColProcesing and Click the Save Button (which calls the Save function)the changes appear instantly on FrmPracDetails. Please note, FrmColProcessing will always be open next to FrmPracDetails. I have tried to put this code in the Save function present in FrmCol Processing as shown below, but it doesnt Refresh FrmPracDetails form. [code]
This JCL_History object is basically a Generic.List encapsulated in a wrapper and has the following method:
Public Sub Enqueue(ByRef value As String) If Members.Contains(value) Then Me.RemoveAt(Members.IndexOf(value))
[Code].....
In my testing I have 2 items in this JCL_History list. When I call that first line of code I posted (the one that invokes Enqueue) with I = 1 I expect the first item to be shuffled to the bottom and the second item to be shuffled to the top.
After the thread returns from Enqueue I notice that this is exactly what happens to my list, HOWEVER if I hit the "step_in" button after the execution of Enqueue I go into the Default Property's set method where Index = 1 and value = and it screws everything up, because the item that got shuffled to the end (index 1) gets overwritten by the item value shuffled to the top.
So basically the set method on the default property is getting called at what I think to be a completely ridiculous time. What gives? By the way I'm running VS2005 on XP.
i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a generic class and is not marked as [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit interface as the default interface to COM using the ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.
Can you look at my coding and let me know what I'm missing or doing wrong?I have a SSRS report that is called from a ReportViewer control and the ProcessingMode for this control is Remote. The report also has 1 parameter in it's DataSet.In the code I placed a MsgBox to make sure the code is finding the parameter and returning the parameter name. I am trying to stick the value of 10 into the parameter for playerID 10. Data for this player does exist.
I believe I need to add some more code to make this work but I'm not sure what else to add.
When the code executes the report is displayed but no data is shown in the report.
I recently found an awesome tool called "Freemind" that is called a 'mind mapping' program. It's similar to MS Visio but way cooler and more automated.I reeeallly would like to integrate this into a VB.net Form, but how?
Has anyone seen or heard of mind mapping inside VB.net before? Are there programs out there already that work with VB.net or anyone have an example they have seen / built that works?
I have a VB2008 application which can control a windows service i.e. start, stop, pause etc. This runs ok on a Windows XP machine but not on a Win 7 machine (message is - Service error cannot open <service name> service on computer '.') ( if I stop the UAC then it runs ok ). It seems to be a rights issue,

I've had a bit of a look around the net and on the forums but I've yet to find an answer to my question. I've got Visual Basic 2008 Express and I'm trying to write some registry entries, I can write strings fine just using
I have some code which gets child items for a menu via the GetChildren function which takes a list of menuData: Dim builtMenu As New List(Of MenuData)(_rawData.FindAll(Function(item) item.GroupingID = 0))
For Each menuData As MenuData In builtMenu If menuData.Children IsNot Nothing Then menuData.Children.AddRange(GetChildren(menuData)) End If Next
If I check if menudata.children isnot nothing, it always is nothing because the GetChildren function is yet to run (providing the child items, which do exist). If I remove this check and just have this code:
Dim builtMenu As New List(Of MenuData)(_rawData.FindAll(Function(item) item.GroupingID = 0))
For Each menuData As MenuData In builtMenu menuData.Children.AddRange(GetChildren(menuData)) Next
Then I am presented with a Object reference not set to an instance of an object error on menuData.Children.AddRange(GetChildren(menuData))
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.
