VS 2010 Wrong Write To Registry In Windows 7 64-Bit?
Mar 10, 2012
my code is as below.
vb
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine RegKey = RegKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUIBackground", True) RegKey.SetValue("OEMBackground", "00000000") RegKey.Close()
If I output the contents of it on a msgbox, things are fine, but when I go to regedit, the change doesn't happen where it should as it actually happens in another registry key located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUIBac
k ground which I guess happens since I am on windows 7 64 bit, but I don't want that to happen as doing that doesn't change anything. The key I'm trying to change makes changing the default logon screen possible in Win7, but it's not working like this since the wrong key is being modified.

[code]I just cannot figure out why VB6 works but .net doesn't and fails only on the target machine not the development machine.

I was looking for quick assistance with disabling the write button based on wrong user input. Program works great just feel like it needs a little more.

I don't like validating through the TextChanged event either as I believe that to be the cause of some issues. Doesn't the Textchanged event validate on each time a letter is typed?

I am working the first time now with windows installer. I made an application consisting multiple programs and one of them needs a shortcut to the user startup folder. Therefore I selected in the Installers file editor the special folder 'Users startup folder' and put there the shortcut to the program.
But when I install the programs the shortcut is placed in the common startup folder and not in the users startup folder

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?

The following code causes an error but should work. Any ideas? The same code (originally in REALbasic) does work so the currentuser (also an admin on the pc) does have access to write to the registry.

I've got a DataGridview I want to remove columns from as it greatly increases performance when I format the DGV. The first time I remove columns in a loop (using the removeat) property, everythings fine. But when I try to remove more columns in another loop, it appears to remove the wrong columns and displays the wrong data. In other words, it displays the wrong data and headers; and the columns it does show has headers and cells that don't match.

I can write to a registry key in hkey_current_users using this code:
Code:
Dim MyRegKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
Dim MyReg As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.CurrentUser, "Remote Computer Name")
[code]....
It changes the vaule for this key. But the problem is, that since several people log onto this machine using different accounts. I need to be able to specify which account under the current user gets this registry change.

I was unable to find anything in my searches for XML or INI on the forum so i apologize now if this has already been asked and answered before.
I have been searching Google for days now, trying to find information on Reading and Writing XML files. I wish to use them to replace INI files in my programs.
I have been using VB6 for years now, but was able to get a copy of VB.NET 2003 really cheap and so i am trying to learn how to do the things i did in VB6 in VB.NET 2003.
I was able to find code to write to an INI file, but was not able to successfully read from an INI file with any of the code i found.
I have been able to find code to write an XML file, but when i try to update it, it replaces the old file with a new one, and the old settings are missing, instead of the new settings added to it.
i can at least start migrating to VB.NET 2003, or if you read XML and update XML data, i can switch now. Here is the code i have for writing XML.[code...]

I have an application which reads and writes to the registry. If the programs starts, it looks if the registry keys exists. If not it create the keys. All this is working fine on a Windows XP machine.
Now we moved to Windows 7 and it is not possible to write to the keys. First I need to go to the registry and add permissions. Then it works !
Is it possible to change the permissions in the .Net code and make it able to write to the registry without changing permissions through regedit ?
