Registry access.

[Dark Kai]

Hi there.

Does anyone know's how to read and write to the registry?

 

This is out of the topic but i'll ask here anyway.

I'm using filestream to read a file. It works but when the file is readonly, why can't i open it ? I've set the filestream to IO.FileMode.Open but still could not access it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Try specifying "FileAccess.Read" to your Filestream.

 

This is from MSDN:

FileStream s2 = new FileStream(name, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);

Nop... right out the track man...

try Microsoft.Registry

 

or look to add a reference named Microsoft.Something.Registry

 

it'll look like this

then follow the Online Help

I was answering his second question about file access, not the registry question.

(no worries :) )

 

Actually, here's some vb.net registry code I used a while back:

 

  Private Function RegistryGetString(ByVal registryPath As String, ByVal keyName As String) As String
       Try
           Dim objKey As RegistryKey
           
           'search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subpaths:
           objKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registryPath )
           Return Convert.ToString(objKey.GetValue(keyName , ""))
       Catch ex As Exception
           ErrorLog(ex)
       End Try
   End Function
