Reading from registry

[Jan_Uys]

Hi there

I use the following function to retrieve a string value from the registry:

    Public Function GetRegValue(ByVal psPath As String, ByVal psKey As String) As String
        Dim lsValue As String
        Dim loRegKey As RegistryKey

        Try
            loRegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(psPath)
            [COLOR=red]lsValue = loRegKey.GetValue(psKey).ToString[/COLOR] 
        Catch
            lsValue = ""
        Finally
            Registry.LocalMachine.Close()
            loRegKey = Nothing
            GetRegValue = lsValue
        End Try
    End Function

but after Ive called this a couple of thousand times, I get this error Object reference not set to an instance of an object on the indicated line. What am I doing wrong? Are there better ways to read from the registry?

Thanx

Sorry, found the problem,

loRegKey.Close()

in stead of

Registry.LocalMachine.Close()
