View 2 RepliesI have a little utility that everybody in our office uses on XP. This utility runs under our standard, non-Admin user profiles...and, where necessary, provides our Admin credentials to do things like connect to a remote computer, assign and take away rights, modify the registry, etc...I had added code to start the Registry Editor and the MMC....and it works fine....in XP. In Vista, that is an entirely different story.I've run into "Invalid Directory" errors and "Elevation Required" errors.What I have is :
Dim mypass As New System.Security.SecureString
Dim myprocessinfo As New ProcessStartInfo
myprocessinfo.UseShellExecute = False ' MUST be set to FALSE to work

how to open regedit with a certain subkey open when you click on a button for example when I click the button it will start regedit in
Hkey_local_machine
Software instead of opening at default Code to open regedit is
Process.Start("Regedit.exe")
but not sure how to set it to open subkey automatically?
I had it working at one point now it does not want to work. Im checking the registry for a subkey and I know it exists but vb is telling me it doesnt, which is driving me up the wall, this is what I got[code]...

I have Windows XP Pro, SP3 on a Dell Dimension 9150 with VB 3.0 and all other Visual Studios up to and including VS2010 Pro.I'm not exactly an expert VB programmer, but I have written several different programs.I would like to write a VB program to run in the background and detect when the program regedit.exe/regedt32.exe tries to run.Once the regedit program tries to run, I would like my background program to pop up a message with three options. Allow, Do Not Allow and Cancel.
The Allow button would allow regedit to run.The Don't Allow button will not allow regedit to run and continue to run in the background. The Cancel button would not allow regedit to run and would cancel the background program.Can this be done?I would explain why I want to do this, but it would take too much of this thread. However, if anybody really needs to know, I will accommodate their request.
I try to read a registry key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that I created with Regedit.I can read a key that already exists. I can't read the key I created.VS2010, Win 7 64-bits, target CPU x86 (ultimately this wil be used in a shared-addin for Office 2010) but CPU x64 gives same result
Dim mystring As String = ""
Dim mykey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("software", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree)
'Dim mykey2 As RegistryKey = mykey.OpenSubKey("testa", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree)
[code]....
I have problems about USB device drivers: I can see the driver correctly installed but application says device is not present.
I solved using Regedit:
in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSB
I have to manually delete the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSBVid_04d8&Pid_8001
with all subkeys.
I've seen there are several examples managing registry keys using vb, but I can't understand how detect if the key is present and how delete it.
Way to load regedit values/keys to a listbox or listview

I have 26 buttons on my form (each a letter of the alphabet) i want to press a button lets say Z and that it then changes the relevant registry key value of 0 to 1 representing the button has already been clicked (these a-z buttons are to be compared with on/ off switches). This way if I start my program up again the values in the regedit will "memorise" wich buttons were turned on and wich were turned off in our previous program session.
Ultimately the buttons turned off should always appear as red until switched onagain
Dose anybody know how to achive this?

I have a solution with more than one project and the main project contains buttons to open forms from different projects that are in the same solution. Say Project1 is the main project and Project2 is the different project that gives the following error when i compile it:
Error 3 'Sub Main' is declared more than once in 'SystemInformation': SystemInformation.Program.Main(), SystemInformation.My.MyApplication.Main(Args() As String) System Information II
I have already seen other threads with this question but it does not work for me because i have more than one project.For Project2: Application Framework is disabled and the startup object is "SubMain".
I have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

I have taken over support of a VB.Net WinForms application. I am actually a c# developer and am more familiar with the setup of visual studio projects in c# projects. Now I am trying to determine why my application is crashing on a specific XP installation, and I read the suggestion here[URL]..to add a try catch block in the main function. This is suggested in about the 5th post from the bottom. (I will quote it below) However, if I look in the VB.Net visual studio project, I do not find a Main() procedure. What I do find is a grey folder called "My project" with a "Application.myapp" file inside it. This file has an associated designer file, but if I click on it I see the following xml:

View 6 RepliesAfter getting a test WCF hosted in a windows service, I'm trying for another one (practice, practice, practice). I created a WCF service library, added one function. Then created a Windows Service, and added my WCF to the project. Did the rest of the stuff located here ([URL]) Now I'm getting this "Sub Mian was not found in [WCF app]" error when I try to build the solution. I didn't think WCF projects required a Sub Main as they are services and not applications. What am I doing wrong? I didn't have a sub main in my last project.
View 1 RepliesI started a new solution (with multiple projects) and am trying to get it to build. Initially I was getting an internal compiler error and thought maybe it had to do with MySql, so I removed all references to MySql. Now I am getting the error "Could not find a 'Sub Main' in ''". I have made sure that all of my projects have a Main subroutine like this:Public Shared Sub Main()End Sub2 out of the 7 projects will compile. I don't know what makes these projects different from the others, and the error message isn't very helpful. Any experience with this one?

I have a main form that reference to a dll. Inside the dll is also a form that will add additional menu in the main form that calls it. How can I do that?
View 1 RepliesI am working on an application that is a form, at runtime it connects to a server and downloads an xml file, this xml file is used to build the actual UI which consists of various panels that are populated with textboxes, buttons, etc. On each panel there is a custom button that when clicked fires an event inside the actual custom button class that runs a sub on the form to hide all the panels and then show the panel who's name is held in an extra property(hence the custom button).
What I would like to know is what is the best way to give the button a reference to the form to run the showPanel sub. Is it best to give it the name of the form, or in the constructor for the button give it a reference to the form using byRef or byVal, or use the sender in the button click event as:
Private Sub newButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Click
sender.TopLevelControl.showPanel(m_showPanel)
End Sub
