Stupid Question

[ZeroEffect]

I know how to save settings to the registry, but what I want do is save it to a location based on the name my programs name. So if I have more than two instancies running pro1.exe and pro2.exe the settings would be saved to pro1 and pro2 so there wouldn't be any conflicts.

 

I know it is a lame question but the thoughs I have come up with have two many holes.

 

Thanks for any thought you may have.

What code are you currently using to save to the registry?

[ZeroEffect]

Sorry about that. Here is the code I use...

 

SaveSetting(Application.ProductName, "Setting", "Setting Name", "Setting Value")

'I need/want "Application.ProductName" to be the name of the EXE file.
'This would allow more than one instance of the program to run
'Each with thier own settings.

 

I could use a cfg file but I'd like to use the registry

 

Thanks,

Have you tried using

System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Application.ExecutablePath)

 

Is there any reason why you would prefer to use the registry bearing in mind that makes it not portable, harder to transfer and MS themselves recommend against it?

I haven't tried that yet. I know it's not the smartest way of dealing with settings. I personally like the config class I have, but this with match the main programs way of handeling settings.

 

I'll give your piece of code a try and see what happens.

 

Thanks dor your help.

One suggestion, you could use this code

 

Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName.ToString

this code represent ur program name.
