Hello,
I'm attempting to enumerate the contents of a registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop
I am currently storing the Name in an array without a problem.
However, how do I store both a REG_BINARY (byte) and a REG_DWORD (int) into an array?
Here is the code, that is failing:
<br />
RegistryKey myRegKey = Registry.CurrentUser;<br />
myRegKey = myRegKey.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Shell\\Bags\\1\\Desktop\\");<br />
String[] valueNames = myRegKey.GetValueNames();<br />
<br />
string[] OriginalValueName = new string[valueNames.Length];<br />
Byte[] OriginalValueData = new System.Byte[valueNames.Length];<br />
<br />
int i = 0;<br />
foreach (String valuename in valueNames)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(valuename);<br />
OriginalValueName[i] = valuename;<br />
<br />
Object ovalue = myRegKey.GetValue(valuename);<br />
MessageBox.Show(ovalue.ToString());<br />
<br />
if (ovalue.ToString() == "System.Byte[]")<br />
{<br />
OriginalValueData[i] = (System.Byte)ovalue;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
OriginalValueData[i] = (System.Byte)ovalue;
}<br />
}
I'm trying to convert an integer to a byte, but it doesn't seem to work, claiming "Specified cast is invalid."
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
how could you store an int value (32-bit) in a byte (8-bit) in a useful manner?
You could:
1. do the opposite, i.e. store bytes and ints into an int[].
2. better yet, define your own type ("RegistryValue") and derive two types from it ("RegistryByte" and "RegistryInt"), then store instances of either one of them in an array, or better yet a List< RegistryValue>. Making it a class/struct allows for additional information such as the key name.

By using the Obi Wan Kenobi Bit Cramer[^]
It's that pretty blue thing he is holding.

Extreme tools should be used in emergencies only; don't waste them on a couple of bits, spending some RAM is more than adequate.

Ahh.... i see...

Ahhh... much better... dang datatypes.
RegistryKey myRegKey = Registry.CurrentUser;<br />
myRegKey = myRegKey.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Shell\\Bags\\1\\Desktop\\");<br />
String[] valueNames = myRegKey.GetValueNames();<br />
<br />
string[] OriginalValueName = new string[valueNames.Length];<br />
int[] OriginalValueData = new int[valueNames.Length];<br />
<br />
int i = 0;<br />
foreach (String valuename in valueNames)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(valuename);<br />
OriginalValueName[i] = valuename;<br />
<br />
Object ovalue = myRegKey.GetValue(valuename);<br />
MessageBox.Show(ovalue.ToString());<br />
<br />
OriginalValueData[i] = (int)ovalue;<br />
<br />
}

Hi,
int may be sufficient, it depends on what you want to do with the data afterwards.
One potential problem is you don't store the original type information, so a key (Paul, 123) may have been a REG_BINARY or a REG_DWORD, so you would not be able to restore registry entries lacking some information.

Ahh okay... I'll store that as well.
Can I store different data types per-dimension in a multi-dimensional array?

No. (i.e. not in the simple way you probably are thinking of; you can as structs/class objects, but then you wouldn't need extra dimensions any more).
Object oriented principles would tell you to store all information about one real-life object (such as a registry key) into one software object, that is why I suggested you make your own type (struct or class) in the first place.
FWIW: It may be wise to buy and study a book on C#, that would give you a head start by teaching you all the relevant principles, explaining them well and illustrating them with examples.

Thanks very much for all of the info.
People keep telling me that I need basics.... hah! Maybe one day...
The data type/struct thing seems very interesting to me, and makes perfect sense.
I'm always getting in over my head... my primary job (and my skill set) is a network and sys admin. I code on the side, and I feel like I'm slowly slipping into coding more... maybe I should buy a book.
Thanks!

try using ArrayList in System.Collection namespace you don't even have to check for a type because this collection stores them as objects
for your case
ArrayList OriginalValueData=new ArrayList();
for(...)
{
OriginalValueData.Add(OValue);
}
I hope that would solve ur probles
Good Luck

Hi
I want to write a message to the text file as soon as the server starts.I have written the following code which creates a new file but it does not write anything into it.I tested this code by starting only one server.It does not work.Please help me find where i went wrong.proclist contains the list of all servers.
foreach (Process pr in proclist)
{
if (!File.Exists("logfile.txt"))
{
stw = new StreamWriter("logfile.txt");
}
else
{
stw = File.AppendText("logfile.txt");
}
DateTime started = pr.StartTime;
stw.WriteLine("Server information:");
stw.WriteLine(started.ToString());
}
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
stw.Close(); ??
or possibly
stw.Flush();
stw.Close();
Although it might be simpler to forget the StreamWriter and use
File.AppendAllText("logfile.txt", String.Format("Server Info:\r\n {0}\r\n", started));
Alan.

Yes it seems like Flush() is missing.
But for logging you should better use log4net[^].
It is very easy to configure and start writing log messages.

hi
Thanks now im getting it right
|

hello everybody
i need to build a small program in C# that searches within a C source code (a txt file basically) for variables and method names and after that to replace them with something else. i can't do the first part. i've tried to do something but with no success. can you help me with some informations/suggestions?
thank you in advance

You must know all the keywords that can come before a variable or method name, like int, string etc. You will also need to check if the word there for variable declaration and elsewhere. ie word string might come in a comment text and then you will end up editing the comment.
All I can suggest is to make sure you know what I have written above. Then you can just take the very next word and replace it.

list the possible keywords, and try building a regular expression for them, since every line should end with ";" it might loosen writing the a regular expression for it, but it will be a lil tough.
good luck

When I populate properties in my classes, I usually use reflection to get values from a DataReader and set the values. What do you guys think of this technique? Below is a snipplet:
SqlDataReader dr = new SqlDataReader();
PropertyInfo[] properties = this.GetType().GetProperties();
dr.Read();
foreach (PropertyInfo pf in properties)
{
pf.SetValue(this, dr[pf.Name], null);
}

Thanks. I have been using this technique for many many years now. I always wondered if there was a performance penalty or other types of penalties when using this method. I never encountered any problems. I wanted to see what the experts had to say.
