VS 2008 : Editing/Assigning Registry Values?
Feb 3, 2011
What im trying to achieve is editing the value of this key; But I've tried everything i can think of.. I've tried just entering the name and type etc. but nothing..I've decalred:
Imports Microsoft.Win32
and the code im attempting to use:
Dim regKey As RegistryKey
[code]....
What i want it to do is create a key from the Drive Selection box i.e. 'H' then create two sub keys called 'DefaultIcon' and 'DefaultLabel' and assign values to their (Default) key but its not working.

Can VB 2008 use the system variable %1 that contains what filename a program was opened with? I am making a new app that when you click a .exe file and select the right option, it will edit the registry but I need to be able to keep the filename that I right clicked on so that I know what registry value to edit, is this possible?

Before I start great forums, from what i've seen browsing unregistered this place is a treasure trove of information; however, after searching for what I need I could only find threads that seemed way to complicated or irrelevant, so...Essentialy I have created a program in which values entered are saved to seperate text files depending on which tab of a Tab Control they originate (from text boxes). I'm pretty new to VB but i managed to save the values of each text box to a .txt as CSV, essentialy all values will only ever be decimals (as currency) or dates. Example code for one of the .txt's:
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:UsersAndyDocuments
ResourcesTermInformation.txt", Me.tbTIAutTermWeeks.Text & ","
& Me.tbTISprTermWeeks.Text & "," & Me.tbTISumTermWeeks.Text &

I'm just familiarising myself to edit registry in VB. I am having a problem with changing a value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key. When ever I change a value at runtime it always assumes that I am going in the "Wow6432Node" key, even though I don't put that in the parenthesis. Example:
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenSHOWALL", "CheckedValue", 1) and it doesn't change the value in the string above, but changes it as if I have put

I'm trying to create a text box that sends information to the registry. As an example, the user types "Value1" into the text box, and presses OK. The value in the text box (aka "Value1") goes to:
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey",
"TestKey", "Value1")

I have tried to solve this myself and I know I am probably doing something really silly here what I have is two different registry values that control what is displayed in the combobox on my form RegistryKey1 has the following values:0,1 or it does not existRegistryKey2 has the following values2,3, or 4 the combobox has the following values 0,1,2,3 However here is the problem if the RegistryKey2 is 2 then it further has to be checked if RegistryKey1 is either 0,1 or does not exist
if it is 1 then the selectedindex = 0
if it is 0 or does not exist then the selectedindex = 1
if RegistryKey2 is 3 then the selectedindex = 2

I have a text file which I open and then read in 1 line at a time and split up. I then takes each component part from the split string and assign it into a variable as I go.
I then want to specific varaibles and put them into an array and build the array.
Can I read in each element and assign it directly into an array or is this was best.
also
I seem to be getting an error when I try and directly add items into an array
' myCarrier(98).EZY_Both = myCarrier(98).EZY_Both + 1 '

basically i've gotten myself into a mess with some last minute project work. shame on me and all that but thats college students for ya. basically i seem to be having problems assiging a simple integer to some pictures in an array. now. basically its a card deck. i've looked this up so many times yet nothing comes to me that fits my code or the way i've been taught. in any case i've got an imagelist and put it into an array to symbolize a deck. now. as i'm doing blackjack i need each card to have its own value. so obviously 2 of hearts value = 2, king = 10 etc.so what i've done is created a function that calls on a string. and used a select case to give a value based on the filepath of the image. however it failed hoplessly. heres a piece of the code:
Sub getcardvalues(ByVal card As String)
Select Case card
Case "decklist.images.item(2club.png)"
value = 2
[code]....
despite this seemingly simple solution i can't seem to pull out the path of these cards as a string. the array simply gives me a number and the actual picture dosnt want to be a string. so my question is this. how can i pull the image path out of the array (eg: deck(1) = decklist.images.item(3club.png)) and turn that into a useable string?

I am having a problem with objects and arrays of objects. Basically obj_stored holds how many objects I have stored in my text file, in this case t shirts. line(y) is an array that holds each line that has been read from the text file. I then use this to assign values to my array objects properties. For example I know the first line is the color of the first t shirt, second size, third price etc. Then I know the next line will be the color of a new t shirt. There are 6 t shirts in the file.
Dim t_shirt(5) As Clothing.t_shirt
Dim t_shirt_purchased As New Clothing.t_shirt
For x = 0 To obj_stored
t_shirt(x) = Clothing
t_shirt(x).color = line(y)
y = y + 1
t_shirt(x).size = line(y)
y = y + 1
t_shirt(x).price = line(y)
y = y + 1
Next
MsgBox (t_shirt(4).size)
My problem is it seems to be resetting these values after it has finished. Im creating the object each time and assigning values to it's properties but when it's finished it all resets and says 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. I'm new to OOP and was wondering what sort of approach i would take to doing this, if the one i am taking is wrong.
So I am aiming to:
Read everything in from the text file.
Create new instances of the objects depending on how many t shirts are stored, (5 t shirts = 5 objects)
Assign the values to my objects properties.

I'm passing a value to another form and later on use that value that is assigned to a variable.
Here is the code.

CurrentMode doesn't have a value. I don't know why. CurrentMode is a global variable.

how to assign a 1-dimensional array value I get from a function directly into an element in a 2-dimensional array. An example would be
Dim Results(7)() as DoubleResults(0) = myFunction() ' returns an array with 5 doubles What is the correct syntax for this, if any? I'm still having a bit of difficulty switching over from Python arrays, which work a lot better, it seems.

where x is a string with value "qwe" so basically we get the output:

I wrote an application to manage several installers and I wanted to throw in some registry settings as well. Unfortunately the following code is not writing to the registry, nor is it returning any exceptions.I'm running Visual Basic 2010 Express as administrator using Windows 7 64 bit, I can manually add the values, and I can add them from a .reg file manually but not even by calling the .reg file as a new process (it asks for permission, says it succeeded, but nothing changed).The key already exists, all I need to do is add two values.
My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", True)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", "uwgm_client.exe", 32768, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)[code].....

I am stuck on how to assign values on a label or text box.The issue is the following:I have two tables, one called A and the second one called B.Table A has tree fields: id, name, lastname...Table B has five fields: id, level1, level2, level3, level4..The idea is to save A.id into level1, level2, level3 and level4. A.id can be the same or not. I know how to assign and save the values on the DDBB using DDL, but when I want to show the values using labels, I get the first value always, this is becuase the select command is configures in that way. If I use ddl instead label, it works, but I do not want to show the value using ddl. I want to use label to show the values, and ddl to modify or add new data into the DDBB.[code] As you can see the level1 uses label, and level2 uses ddl, it was the only way to get the value for level2, otherwise if I use label on level2 it display level1 value instead.I would like to know if there is any way to assign different value using anything but ddl.

.Net 4.0
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
This works perfectly:
Dim N As BigInteger
N = 28 'Put whatever value you want in for N.
Write((BigInteger.Log(N) / BigInteger.Log(2) + 1) / 2)
This does not work:
Dim Result As BigInteger = (BigInteger.Log(N) / BigInteger.Log(2) + 1) / 2
This gives an error during the build (despite the variable being declared as a BigInteger and the operation working perfectly well when I am not assigning it to a variable, it tells me I can't convert a Double to a BigInteger) and I have to do this:
Dim Result As BigInteger = CType((((BigInteger.Log(N) / BigInteger.Log(2)) + 1) / 2), BigInteger)
This if course gives a different, that is, incorrect result.'This doesn't work either.
Dim Result As BigInteger = BigInteger.Log(N)
'I can do this:
Dim ResultString As String = BigInteger.Log(N).ToString
'But then parsing the string fails
