Hi,
I am trying to read some system config from the registry. The config info is stored as a binary value of type "REG_RESOURCE_LIST".
If I try read this value with o=registrykey.getvalue(), (with o being an object), o will be set to nothing.
I can read a string key from the same group using the same command, and it works. It just always seems to fail on binary keys.
The "GetValueKind" of this key type returns Unknown.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? I've been googling for what seems like all morning, and I cant find a solution.

Hi,
the RegistryValueKind Enumeration lists all data kinds supported by .NET, as well as Unknown for
all the other ones. So you're out of luck. I suggest you use P/Invoke and call the Win32 functions
directly (as was needed for all kinds other than REG_SZ before .NET 2.0).

I was hoping not to have to do that.
Oh hum.
Thanks for the reply - at least it puts my mind at rest that I have not gone crazy... (I am just slowly on my way to being there! )
Thanks.

I did not imply that, nor the opposite.

Hi,I am using vb.net to create an windows form application.
Does anyone know of any articles/ideas that could help me in adding textboxes or combo boxes to a listview?
Basically what i want to do is edit the data in the listview and it should save once i click out of it.
Thanks

Have you googled or codeprojected? It seems like I've seen hundreds. In .NET 3.+, you can do it also through WPF.

Write a vbscript to do what you want and use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule the script.

Hello everyone,
I'm very new to VB6 and I've been blessed to be the fall-out boy for creating this system that SHOULD connect the application to SSH giving me control using UNIX functions. My question is...how do I make this possible. I'm pretty much clueless about this. Many many thanks for all your suggestions.

You'll need a 3rd party component to handle the ssh connection. There's one at http://www.ssh-activex.com/[^] that has a free version available. I don't know what the limitations are in the free one.

Great! Exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks friend

I feel sorry for you. VB6 has been dead/unsupported by Microsoft since March 2005. You may want to become more familiar with VB.NET/C#, just a friendly suggestion

I'm actually quite familiar (but not near an expert) with .NET framework although management requires me to do this using crappy vb6. This app is actually like a trouble ticketing systems that allows certain users to display records, validate codes etc and provide resolutions. Problem is the records are not really database driven...rather file based using SSH. Yeah I know...problematic either way

Hello all,
I'm trying to help my sister do a simple window form application here for her grocery shop. I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2003 to create a Point Of Sales System for her shop.It is connected with MySQL 5.0 Database. I'm trying to doing a system planning and researching about this coding here.
Anyone can provide me some information or sample how can I detect a parallel receipt printer or barcode printer using VB.NET? I need this Window Form Application to detect the receipt printer,if the receipt printer is not turning on or plug into the workstation,it will prompup and request the user to check it.
Hope someone can help me on this problem. Thanks for reading.
Regards

It is possible to detect if a device is plugged into the LPT port, but not natively though VB.NET.
I have been doing something similar using a free DLL called "IO.DLL", which gives you direct access to the ports required to do what you are wanting.
http://www.geekhideout.com/iodll.shtml[^]
To see if the printer is availiable, you need to query port &h379 (LPT1 Control Port), and I think it is the second topmost bit (&h40) that says if the printer is attached and ready or not.
I cant be much more help than this I'm afraid, but it should have some real good pointers to get you going.

Hi everybody,
i have a "little" problem with this function in my class:
Public bPayLoad() As Byte
Public lCount As Integer
Public Sub New(ByVal b_PayLoad() As Byte)
bPayLoad = b_PayLoad
If Not (b_PayLoad Is Nothing) Then
lCount = bPayLoad.Length
Else
lCount = 0
End If
End Sub
If I create a new object of this class and pass the ByteArray B() to it why does the objects bytearray change when i change B()?
thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english

Because the array is an object. You are passing a reference to the array by value, that only means that the reference is copied, not that the object is copied.
If you want a copy of the array, you have to create a new array and copy the data to it.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Hello,
Maybe a stupid question.
Is there a possibility to change the shape of a command button from rectangle to a circle (round button)
If yes, is it standard or do i have to add something 3th party
If it is not possible in VB 2005 is it posible in VB 2008 ?
Thanks
DCA
