Why not just copy them yourself with FileStream?

Reading Binary from Registry to Variable

Hi,

I am coding in VB.net in Visual Studio 2005, and am looking for a way to store a REG_BINARY value from the registry to a variable, which will then be compared to perhaps an array or hard-coded list of possible values to change a picture, with regards to the variables value.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Andrew Robinson.

You're looking for the RegistryKey.GetValue Method[^]. It'll return a REG_BINARY value into an array of bytes.

Do you have an example code for return this value to an array list?

OpenFileDialog: Return just file name

7-Oct-05 17:03

This returns to an array, not an ArrayList.

Dim regKey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\Setup", False)
Dim values As Byte() = regKey.GetValue("SystemPrefix")

Does anybody know of a way to return just the file name (without the full path) using the OpenFileDialog?

Example:

OpenFileDialog.FileName returns ‘c:\dir1\textfile.txt’

But I want

OpenFIleDialog.?? To return ‘textfile.txt’

Thanks
Brad

Run the full path trough the Path.GetFileName Method[^].

And if u want any more info just...
dim fileInfo as new io.FileInfo(Path)

FileInfo contains alot of extra info.

And you're telling me this why? Tell the OP, he'll get an email that say you responded to HIM, not me.

Thanks Dave/Andrew. That worked perfect.

Creating a server tool

6-Oct-05 6:02

Curious as to if anybody can point me in the right direction.

I'm wanting to write a application in vb .net that addresses shared folders on windows 2000 server/ and xp machines. I'm wanting to gather currently used files along with the user name of the person that is using this file. it's similar to the server tools "Server Manager" app, but i'm wanting to do other stuff with this information. If anybody could direct me that would be great, maybe Active Directory, WMI, or filesystem functions.

Thanks

Gerry
