File I/O And Registry :: String Line Manipulation
Jul 17, 2009I thought you could use a structure as a container. I have line_1 with a line of data read in from a file. I only want to Look in position 1 of the line and position 8 for 9 and position 31 for 11. If I create a line_2 with the parts broken out for pieces that I want to look at then I could use a with statement right?

Reading Registry Keys With Name Of (Default)
Mar 5, 2006Trying to read a registry key that has a name and a value associated with it. However, the value name doesn't have a name, per say, but it does have a name of (Default).
Anyway, the following lines of code return a value of Nothing.
Dim ReadValue As Object = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _
("RegKeyName", "(Default)", Nothing)
'Try to use "(Default)" for the name.
However, if I pass empty quotes, as the ValueName, it returns the correct value for the value name. I spent quite alot of time before even thinking of trying it with empty quotes.
Dim ReadValue As Object = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _
("RegKeyName", "", Nothing)
'Passing empty quotes for the name.
Is passing the empty quotes the correct way of getting the values from the (Default) value names? I don't want to assume this is going to work in all occasions only to get tripped up later.

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 - WMI Registry Value Change Event?
Jul 26, 2011I am working on a app that will monitor the registry for changes to [ProviderOrder] in [SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNetworkProviderOrder].
I have it 90% done with this
Imports System.Management
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Module Module1
Dim Watcher As ManagementEventWatcher
Dim Hive As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine

If I change [ProviderOrder.test] the app tells me the value was changed and corrects it. But it does the correction twice (because of UpdateProviderOrder changing the value). I thought that using RemoveHandler and AddHandler would take of that.

Change Default Excel Program?
Jun 21, 2009I have Excel 2003 and 2007 loaded on my computer. When I open an Excel file, it is defaulting to 2003. How do I check to see what the default program is for opening xls files and change this to 2007 in my code? I have already done the following manually:
1-Open My Computer
2-Go to Tools --Folder options
3-Click the File Types tab
4-Scroll down to the XLS file type and highlight it

However I am not convince that its defaulting to Excel 2007 when I run projects in VB as I am seeing the "File Conversion" prompt when file are open.
