Is there a set of functions or classes to edit/read the registry via VB2005?
I need a function like
RegWriteString( "HKLM", "SystemExplorerShell Folders", "My Documents", "My Documents" )
and
value = RegReadString( "HKLM", "SystemExplorerShell Folders", "My Documents" )
I have completed my VB code and decided to publish it(make program an installable program). However, I want to rename my project so that when I publish it, the program will be the name I want. Now, my project is named as "Trial" when I first started. Now I want to change to "Monitor" due to some reasons. So it means having to renames all the files in that project as "Monitor" instead of "Trial".

View 2 RepliesI developed a very simple little windows program in VB 2005 to be used on desktops here at HQ. It reads a table from an Oracle DB into an array, let's the user select a text file, and then uses that data and text file to create an Excel spreadsheet.
Now they want a remote user to have access to it. We use Citrix for our remote application access. There is no install, I just copy the code to the Citrix server so I didn't need to put terminal server in install mode. When I am on the Citrix server, the application runs well. When I access the application through Citrix, I get an Oracle error from the ODBC data manager: Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
Does anybody know what is going on? how to make it work?
Are there any papers related to Windows applications on Citrix server that can help?

View 4 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesWhenever I want to modify a winform from another thread, I need to use ->Invoke(delegate, params)so that the modification occurs in the winform's own thread.
For every function that needs to modify the gui, I need another delegate function.Is there some scheme which allows me to limit the number of delegate functions needed? I have a controller class which handles the whole gui in one spot, I've thought about reusing delegates but that smells badly.I think that my question can apply to all languages where winform can run
I have established how to use the click once system to include multiple project's exe's in a SINGLE click once deployment.
Now, with that said, it just adds the secondary project's exe(and its required files) to the install directory. Cool.
BUT, to avoid making a button that says 'Run Program 2' in Program 1's screen, does anyone know of a hack/mod to add another link to the start menu's folder?
So it'll show, Support for 'Project 1', Project 1, then add the link for Project 2?
How to modify a line in an existing text file in VB. This is the code I was told to use:
do while (sr.peek() <> -1)
line = sr.readLine()
if line(0) = stockName then
' update the line
updatedLine = line(0) & "," & line(1) & "," & line(2) &
else
' don't do anything
loop
The problem is that when I use that I get the error message that says:
Error1'Line' statements are no longer supported. File I/O functionality is available as 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.LineInput' and the graphics functionality is available as 'System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawLine'.
I have a notify icon and I use the 'Text' property instead of 'BallonTipText' because I just like it better and it fits well with my application. The only thing wrong with that is the 64 character limit. How can I determine the length of a string, remove all characters after the 61st character, then add three periods at the end of the new string? I've looked around and can't find any solution to removing all characters after the first X characters.

I have a data entry form, a listview form and a couple of classes. Data is entered in the form, and it is stored in an array. This is then displayed in a listview. I can insert and delete just fine, but I cannot figure out how to modify. This is what needs to happen: With a row selected in the listview, modify is clicked in the menu strip.
Whatever information is in the selected row, it needs to be transferred to the data entry form where changes to it may be made. I have attached what I have so far, and a sample data file is provided in the root directory. I think I need to temporarily store the selected item, put it into the data entry form, delete it, and when submit is clicked have it re-inserted.

My VB.NET code is supposed to execute third party Javascript code in an attempt to fill in and submit a form. This process consists of five steps, and I have been able to submit the form when all the steps are kept separate (i.e. behind 5 separate consecutive button clicks). Now, what I'd like to have is one button to handle all the five steps.
The problem is that the form originally only appears after calling "webbrowser.Navigate" command, which apparently modifies the page's HTML code. I seem to be unable to detect when Javascript has finished loading the new HTML in order to fill and submit the form. I have tried a timer control to wait for a certain HTML element ID to appear, but in vain. [URL]
I am writing a very specific program that checks and changes some registry keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop key. I've had no issues with this in vista or xp. but windows 7 gives me permission errors. the problem is that Administrators group is missing from the permissions table in the registry for this key. I can fix this by opening regedit and right clicking permissions for this key and adding Administrators to the table. However I don't want the end user to have to do this.so how can I add administrators group to the permissions table of this key using vb.net code?Everywhere I look online people say don't write to this part of the registry if I don't have to. well I have to as it is a windows key that I must change. all permissions are set correctly for the program I just need to know how to add administrators to the permissions list in the registry in windows 7 using vb.net?

I am working on a program that needs to fetch remote windows pc's particular registry keys and then be able to modify them (for example the Run registry key). From what I have been reading I would need to use the OpenRemoteBaseKey to do so.
What I am not sure about is how do I have the program search the network for all of the Windows computers and generate a checklist when the computer names and IP addresses are not known ?
also for the OpenRemoteBaseKey to work do I have to know the password for the administrator account for each PC ?

View 10 RepliesI'm trying to write an application in VB 2010 that will allow me to send out stop and start commands for two services. I can get this to work in a batch file but not in VB, using either NET STOP and NET START and also using SC.exe Stop and SC.exe Start. But I don't seem to get anywhere if I try to use this in VB. So far this is what I have written, using the Print Spooler service as an example. The two services I actually want to stop and restart are the Server and Client services for efpos terminals that are attached to the computers. The service fails from time to time and I want to provide a solution for our users that is quick and easy for them to use, and most importantly doesn't require them to restart the computer, while they have a line up of people waiting to pay.
Code:
Private Sub SpoolerStop()
' Stops the spooler service
Dim StopSpooler = "C:windowssystem32sc.exe stop spooler"
End Sub
No matter what search terms I try in Google I get very little on using VB to interact with Windows Services.
