Storing A String Variable Value In Windows Registry
Apr 21, 2011
I want to store a string variable value in the windows registry If the below is a correct statement. My.Computer. Registry. SetValue ("HKEY_ LOCAL_ MACHINESYSTEMMyKey", "Start", "ABC")i will declare a string variable Dim strvalue as String strval = InputBox("Enter a string")and now i want to insert the User given value in the Registry Key as above in place of "ABC".
We decided to use the registry for handling our deployment with connection strings in our VB.net application.
The requirements are:
If the program cannot connect to the server, first check the registry for a connection string. IF not, create the folder and fill in the name, type, and data. Make sure its encrypted.
I have never edited or created anything in the registry.
I'm rewriting a legacy application in .NET. In the earlier version, I used a few control .INI files that could be edited by the advanced user to provide variation in certain program options. (The program also permitted override of these same variabes via menus and such.) I used the API functions to read the .INI files and rewrite them to alter the user's environment for subsequent runs.
I'm having to store a user account locally on a machine, what would be the best method to store this? (Needs to be reversable encryption rather than hash)I'm accessing a UNC share as mentioned here: url...Can anyone suggest a better method or changes to the above to secure the credentials as much as possible?
other than GML (Yoyogames.com Game Maker Language), I am new to the coding world. The only "major" project I have completed using VB is a computer calculator that exactly mimics the capabilities of Windows 7's calculator. Yesterday, I began a Chatbot program for my girlfriend. Lol. I have used the instr() function to answer most of the questions or answers which are typed into the textbox1. I find this extremely troublesome because when using the instr() function you cannot say instr(textbox1.
Public Class Form1 Dim fos As String = "Foster: " Dim ash As String = "Ashley: "
I am trying to retrieve a 'tag'(Is it called that?) from an XML webpage. Once I make a post request from my vb.net app it sends a command to my online webserver and redirects me to a page that has entries that change each time. The page that im redirected to that changes each time looks something like this:
i'm working on a code that i want to start creating new classes with but i want to know if there's a more direct way to send the variables used in the form to a new class for storage.
for example i've got this on a form...
Dim ClassID As String Dim ClassName As String Dim Grade As String
[Code]....
you know? so what would be my most direct route to get this? how should i start?

I'm looking for a way to search a string variable for two words and copy the text in between them into another variable. This needs to be done as many times as the match occurs.
i am trying to write a program which reads a data from the database and perform some calculations. what i am intending to do is when a user selects an item from a listbox and clicks the submit button the program, calls a function to calculate using the value stored in the database and display the result in a textbox.the problem is i cant store the data retrieved from the database into a variable so that the calculations can be done. i am using vb and microsoft sql server.can anyone tell me how do i store the data retrieved by the query into a variable.
I have 13 variables, all called Items1, Items2, Items3 and so on. I have a combo box with items in, each time I click a button I want it so whatever is selected is stored in a variable and if the button is selected again then it stores whatever is selected in the next variable. I know all the code for selecting items in a combo box and transferring it to a variable but the problem I cannot do is the part where each time a button is clicked it stores whatever is selected in the combo box to the next variable.
I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?
1. I took a decimal point number, suppose 192.123456 2. Then removed the decimal point 3. Concatenated the L.H.S and R.H.S and stored it in a string 4. The string that I got was 192132456
Problem: Now I want that the I should be able to reverse the string such that the string should become 5624132901. I have tried using the arrays but it gives me an error when I try storing a string into an array. I am pasting the code below:
NOTE: Code does not contain the implementation of arrays as discussed above. The logic below is without arrays.
Dim maindecimal_R_Reverse_Parts As String = "" Dim mainbandnumber_R = CStr(MainBandText.Text)

I've got a dictionary<string,string> that I need to access and use on several windows forms. In asp.net, I could store it in Session and use it from any aspx page. How would I do this in forms?
I'm obtaining data from a StreamReader.My StreamReader is called "reader" and I'm reading the stream with "responseOutput" like this "responseOutput = reader.ReadToEnd()" And in that bunch of text that I receive I want to FIND and EXTRACT a piece of text and then STORE that extraction in a variable of String type.Here is part of the code I'm referring to:
Dim response = request.GetResponse Dim responseOutput As String Dim reader As StreamReader reader = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()) responseOutput = reader.ReadToEnd()
And here is the text or data that I'm receiving (what I'm about to show you is the result of a "MessageBox.Show(responseOutput)":
And all I want to do, is to extract a specific part of that text, which is the "PhotoId" value (I highlighted it in red), in this case the value is "8262715", and then store it in a variable (I know how to do that I just need the value).The text or data I'm receiving changes only the PhotoId everytime it's requested.
I'm trying to convert some VB.net code into C# and having issues trying to convert this one line. VB.NET Dim myreg As Microsoft.Win32.Registry I know it's a static so I can't create an instance but when I tried a VB.NET converter to C# the website gives me this: Microsoft.Win32.Registry myreg = null; And gives me an error message: 'Microsoft.Win32.Registry' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable' In the last part of the Function in VB.NET, myreg is used:
IM builing an applicaiton that acts as a bank it holds holds Customer information, and there bank ballance. I want to record there Payment ID (for each month), and for them to be able to search for that Payment ID.

I have a string array called m_DirFileList and a collection called myFileCollection. I'm trying to loop through the items in the collection and store each one in the string arrayIt's not working though. This is what I'm trying to do:
Dim myFileCollection As Collection = clsFTPClientClass.GetFileList(fileFilter, True) intItems = clsFTPClientClass.GetFileList(fileFilter, True).Count()
I have a listbox where the user can add items to it with the following schema "count, id".I want to take each item from the listbox,use the split function so I can "take" only the "count," part and then add the "count," part of each item into a string.I mean I want something like this:
user adds 3 items in the listbox:
1, 100 2, 200 and 3, 300.
I want to make it,so a string can be formed, and contain the "count," part of each item which in this case is;
in the first item the "count," part is "1,",in the second item the "count," part is "2," and in the third it's "3,".I want those "count," parts to be stored into a string (which will result into having this string "1,2,3,").
I'll try to explain what i'm doing here, i wan't look through a text file, adding certain lines to an individual array element. So i want to build an array with mcode, mTitle, mCredits, mSemester, moduleStats, currentYear <--- this information as an array element. So here is my attempt at the code,
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("datasource.txt") Dim line = sr.ReadLine() ' get each line and store it Dim currentYear As Integer
I'm currently grabbing HTML from my site using webrequest and storing it in a string. I'm looking to take this string, and scrape all of the prices in order to calculate this against my cost price (for a consistent profit spreadsheet). What is the most feasible way to do this? Would using a webbrowser control be a better idea?
