I have several programs that must write to HKLM in XP and Windows 7/64 Pro.The programs work in VB6 but not in VB.Net 2008 on target machines. It does works on our development machine. [code]I just cannot figure out why VB6 works but .net doesn't and fails only on the target machine not the development machine.

View 1 RepliesI made a simple TCP server (I've found the example on the web) in VB to receive data from about 40 TCP clients.The clients are not synchronized but sends data about every 18 minutes; the problem is sometimes several clients sends data at the same moment, so I can't receive data.I also made a second program that reads the data (server program writes data on a file, read from the second program) scheduled.
My question is this: I've seen on the web examples about Multithreaded Server Socket Program, so I suppose this could manage my 40 clients (but now the clients are syncronized and send data at the same time in client mode) or is better get data (I have a central client that asks data to all 40 devices in server mode)?
Second question: can I make a single program where I run both TCP client and TCP server at the same time?
this is my code for exporting datagrid to excel
Dim strFileName As String
' Create a dialog box to find the excel file
Dim dlg As New Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog()
dlg.Filter = "Excel Files (*.xls)|*.xls"
dlg.FilterIndex = 0
[Code]...
This is what i do, i first export the data to excel then i import that excel file to another datagrid, this is just for testing cuz i will be getting excels from another computer same program, anyways, there are 2 columns that wheni import the excel file, it doesnt read it it shows in datagrid with no value,empty cell, i dont know why, because in excel the values are there, and all of them are strings sometimes it contains numbers, but theyre manage as string.

I pretty much understood how to write text to a file, but I cannot grasp how to READ the information. After I read the information, I would like to add each seperate line to a ListBox. Each line in the text file is a file path for a music file, as the file I wish to read information from is a "custom extension" playlist file. I know what to do after I get the file path, but I do not know how to get the file path from the playlist.
Am I doing something wrong? I get no value back...

View 1 RepliesI'm using the SaveFileDialog to save listbox info into a text file. The files save fine, but when you go to save the file, if you hit the cancel button, it will overwrite the previous file you saved, because it's name was the same and it seems to save the previous file as the new name for your next file. Is there any way to catch if the user clicks cancel, and then exiting the sub if they did?

View 1 RepliesI'm having troubles reading the values from a registy key, basically I already have my code working which reads back data from a registry key with the name "Printer" however I also have another key called "Printer" and when I attempt to read that the "+" get ignored and it reads back "data" which is in the same location. Is there a simple way of reading it back which won't mean large changes to code that is already working as I need it to?

[code]After spending hours of research.I finally figured out the vb.net version on how to read a 64 bit registry with a 32 bit .net application. The importance of this is when you try to write to one part of the registry, it gets redirected somewhere else in the registry, which is super annoying.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to read a string from a registry key, if its 0 do one thing, and if its 1, do something else.
This code (if it works..) would at the first time create a sub key, and assign it to 1, but if its not existing, it would then show a few messageboxe's - But it doesnt work, even if I set it to 1 or 0, it won't work, it always displays the messages.

I'm reading the registry values under the uninstall registry keys. I use string variables to store the program name and program version. This usually works fine but for example Firefox 10.0 appears to be less the Firefox 9 since the version is a string value. V is the string variable that stores the DisplayVersion found in the registry is there a way to read registry valuables to integer?[code]..
View 3 Repliesi want to read all the value names from registry.. Example:
Dim readValue As String
readValue = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", "Path", Nothing)
So this will write the "Data" (The exe location) from the Path! But now i want to read all the Values from Run, and write them, not just one, the Path! I want to see all of them from Run, not only the Path! I also repalce "Path" with Nothing, or "", but dosn't work ...

View 3 RepliesI 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...]
