VS 2008 Error Catching With Registry Settings
Nov 4, 2009
I'm editing some settings in the registry and then adding items to a ListView.
[Code]...
If I'm not mistaken, the code will not continue in the Try block if the first part fails and then move on to the catch statement, correct? I'm adding and deleting a bunch of different entries in the registry and the computers I've tried my app on so far, have not failed. So I'm not able to test if this method will work for error catching. If there's a better method, I'd appreciate the info.

I am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..

I know similar questions have been asked/answered, but after looking across the net for 2 days I still haven't really seen an answer to the following question.rst, background info: My application starts at windows start as a user checkbox option (by using the run key in the registry.) I don't know if it is usual or not, but when the app auto starts on windows start, no saved user settings show up on the form (but they do when starting the program manually after windows is already running). I've tried both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. In case anyone needs or wants it, my code for accessing the registry is:
Dim Reg As Object
Reg = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
Reg.RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSIONRUN" &

Small questions about the settings.settings. Are these settings saved into the registry? I'm want to use and external file for my connection-commands. I don't want to use the registry to store the strings. What do you recommend?

I have 5 errors that come up every time I run my project They are all "A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll"
I have try catch blocks around every piece of code I have written, and it does not seem to catch them, so I opted to catch the appdomain.UnHandledException.
That does not seem to catch them either If I step through the code line by line (several hundred lines so I hold down f8) it does not make the error...
Only when I run full speed.
I can only figure that I am accessing something maybe before an object is completely drawn, however how in the heck would anyone suggest I go about finding it, and why will my global event handler not catch them?

I am using BackgroundWorker to connect asynchronously to a database. Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]...
While my connection is being opened, I have a "Loading" animation show in a lblCalibration. Once it's connected, the animation stops successfully and shows the calibrated record that I am fetching from my db.
However, if there is an error while connecting to my db for any reason, it does not work. My app freezes. The reason is because I am trying to make a cross-thread call while trying to Catch the error in the DoWork event.[URL]..
but still cannot seem to make any progress. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to properly catch the error and still run BackgroundWorker?

I run a program multiplying decimals with integers. If a user enters a non 0 number etc. the try catch works its charm. i added some lines to clear the text boxes and that works fine but
lblReva.text = ""
does not clear the labels where the answers are displayed, on the contrary it displays the correct value calculated and enters a 0 for the erroneous entry. I would like to clear all the labels and text boxes(except the instruction and assingment labels)so the form is clean once more so the user can try to be "more on" target next time.
Try
decReva = CDec(txtBoxa.Text)
decRevb = CDec(txtBoxb.Text)
[code]....
Not integers but constants declared as decimals but that is immaterial here. "Doh"

I'm trying to improve my app with some error catching. I have a module that downloads a file from the Internet to a local folder. At the moment, if the local folder doesn't exist, it just crashes here:
strLocalFile = New FileStream(pPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)
with error:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException was unhandled
Message="Could not find a part of the path 'C:Documents and SettingsSimonDesktop estdownload.zip'."
Source="mscorlib"
How can I do something with that error and stop my app from crashing? Ideally, have a messagebox show saying 'directory not found' or similar.

I have used the code from the link below to create a basic login page in front of the Microsoft Live Single Sing On.[url] I managed to combine the two together(LiveSSO w/Forms Authentication) turning off the Integrated Authentication in IIS from the SSO setup.All works as expected if the user successfully authenticates with AD. THE PROBLEM that I am having is that when the user failes to authenticate it only returns: "Error authenticating user. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". This message appears also when the user is set to change the password at next logon. What I want it to do is to read the error code of exactly why it failed so I can setup a redirect to a password reset page (i.e. if error is "User flag is set to change pswd" etc.etc.)From the page linked above you can see the VB code of LdapAuthentication.vb which does the trick of authenticating the accounts or returning the error message if the login fails. The part that returns the "Error authenticating user. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." Is handled by this subroutine:
[code]...
That's what I have been trying to customize to see how it can return a specific code based on the user account AD flags, instead of the generic message

I've been whining for several months about the way Windows 7 prevents application exceptions from actually occurring, and arbitrarily assigns "compatibility settings" without actually detailing what those settings are, even during Visual Studio Debugging operations. Am I just completely ignorant to some setting I can toggle to turn all that garbage off and make Win7 act like an operating system that wasn't designed for a 2 year old? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario,

It saves the settings to the registry, loads the preset settings, and if you want to uninstall the app, you can use the delete settings, which deletes the registry folder for you app.
Here's how:
create a form, 1 textbox, 2 check boxes, 3 buttons named as (setbtn, getbtn, delbtn)
'1 textbox, 2 check boxes, 3 buttons as setbtn, getbtn, delbtn
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Public Class Form1

We have a VBScript that launches an Access app that connects via ODBC to SQL Server - wouldn't you know the server name is changing.
Is it possible to use VBScript to modify the ODBC information in the registry to point to the new server? Basically changing one specific value for one specific key. Am I better off deleteing the ODBC key and readding it from scratch?

I want to read 'File.ini' line by line checking if specific text exists in the file and then display on a windows form weather particular settings are turned on or off.So far this code works if "TargetText" exists but if it doenst I get an error on the code line: "If line.Contains("TargetText") Then".
Code:
Using z As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(File.ini")
Dim line As String
' Read first line.
[code]....
It works if "TargetText" exists in a line in the file but if it doesnt exist I get the 'Null Reference Exception. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

Why does my app not load the saved user scope my.settings when it starts by way of the registry run key? This key starts programs after the user login, per microsoft. So why does it not load the saved user settings? The program does start up, but all the areas on the form where saved user scope settings should be, are the default values (mostly empty strings). (The user scope settings are there if I start my program by the desktop shortcut
I've looked, searched, posted to other forums, but can't seem to find an answer.

I'm trying to create an app to launch at start up that will ask you what applications you want launching, or if you want all your favorite app's to start up etc. But before I go any further, I think its crucial to know how to save settings that a user has entered (such as program location and name in this case) so that he/she doesn't have to enter them every time at start up.
So far I have just made this, can anyone tell me how I would get it to save the settings entered?
Code:
Option Explicit On
Module Module1
Dim name As String

I have an application that I need to be able to read and save a bunch of registry settings before they are changed. The purpose of this is to revert any new changes back to the original configuration. My application checks the state of each of the registry keys on startup. Is there a way to have it save the current configuration and then reload that configuration later ?

I'm not even sure if that's what I want.But, here's my question. I have written a small program to automate the running of some files. These files have the potential to give an error in the form of a MessageBox which will halt the whole process. Is there a way to detect if that window pops up so that I can kill the process so the next file can run.
Also, if I can get the location of this MessageBox, is it possible to get text out of it so that maybe I can email myself the error so that the processes can keep running but I cango to that file and fix it.

I couldn't find an appropriate forum which would suit the type of problem I am facing so I am putting it here.I needed to create an intranet web application that has pages with hyperlinks to eml files. The eml files as is known are email files in MIME format which outlook express can open. However what I found was if eml files are on your machine, it opens in outlook express but when opened as an hyperlink, it opens in Internet Explorer (IE) as an mhtml file. And any attachments that may be in the eml file are not displayed at all!I didn't understand why IE has to poke inbetween. After searching the net, I came across a solution that required changes in the Registry of the client machine.The change is to be made to the node HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMIMEDatabaseContent Typemessage/rfc822.The following is a REG file that can be imported for this change.[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMIMEDatabaseContent ypemessage/rfc822]"extension"=".eml""CLSID"=""However after this change, though eml files opened in Outlook express, MHT files stopped opening in IE.Then I simply deleted the rfc822 node and to my surprise, MHT files opened in IE and eml files opened in outlook express and everything was fine!!But I don't want to use this sledge hammer solution. I want to know what this registry key is for and how can I set it to achieve what I want . i.e. open eml files from web pages in outlook express without affecting other file types

My application i am using on another computer (Windows Vista) has got a screenshot code inside a timer of 10 seconds. It works perfectly until the user Locks Windows.
When the user locks windows or switches user then the application throws a hissy fit and errors because it cannot take screenshot pictures.
Is there a way i can tell if the computer has been locked and the been unlocked
This way i can have a timer of 1 second and if the computer has been locked then the timer for the screenshots can been stopped , and then when the user logs back in the timer can restart.

I have created a settings-file for my plug-in-based app. When the mainApp writes the settings to the file, the pluginApp should read the settings from the settings-file (when opening or at runtime even better), but somehow it reads the settings from the app.config-file. This means that the pluginApp never will read the settings according the values of the file.
