Hi there.
Does anyone knows how to read and write to the registry?

This is out of the topic but ill ask here anyway.
Im using filestream to read a file. It works but when the file is readonly, why cant i open it ? Ive set the filestream to IO.FileMode.Open but still could not access it.

Thanks in advance.
 
Try specifying "FileAccess.Read" to your Filestream.

This is from MSDN:
Code: 
FileStream s2 = new FileStream(name, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
 
Nop... right out the track man...
try Microsoft.Registry

or look to add a reference named Microsoft.Something.Registry

itll look like this
then follow the Online Help
 
I was answering his second question about file access, not the registry question.

(no worries :) )

Actually, heres some vb.net registry code I used a while back:

Code: 
   Private Function RegistryGetString(ByVal registryPath As String, ByVal keyName As String) As String
        Try
            Dim objKey As RegistryKey
            
            search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subpaths:
            objKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registryPath )
            Return Convert.ToString(objKey.GetValue(keyName , ""))
        Catch ex As Exception
            ErrorLog(ex)
        End Try
    End Function
