This is incredibly strange. I used regedit and went to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE and create a new subkey under "Software". I added
a few more, then went into code to try to read them. I kept getting
null returned when I tried to open them, so I decided to try this:
Registry.LocalM achine.GetSubKe yNames()
The results where dumbfounding--they did NOT match what I see in the
Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE. The list values returned from the
Registry.LocalM achine.GetSubKe yNames() method is MUCH longer than the
list of subkeys that exist in the registry.
What gives? (I'm really hoping this is an easy explanation for
someone, but I'm just not getting it.)
Also, I'm having another, just as concerning problem. In both the
Registry and in code from the list returned by GetSubKeyNames, the
subkey "Microsoft" exists. However, notice the following:
RegistryKey key1 = Registry.LocalM achine.OpenSubK ey( "Software" ); //
This returns the key -- Success
RegistryKey key2 = Registry.LocalM achine.OpenSubK ey( "Software\
\Microsoft" ); // This returns NULL :(
RegistryKey key3 = key1.OpenSubKey ( "Microsoft" ) ; // This also
returns NULL :(
Why could this be happening?
Thanks in advance!

If so, you may want to look up Registry

Yes, of course. :(
That is SO LAME. Does this mean that I need to set app settings for
ALL users at install? What happens when a new user is created? I
need to edit the registry and create some default app settings, and I
obviously want these defaults to apply to all users.
If it's in the article, forgive me. I'm planning on reading it
tomorrow.
But even at a glance, I saw the big difference (redirect to users
location). :(
Thanks for the link!

Be aware that registry virtualization not only occurs in Vista, but with 64
bit OS such as XP.
Regarding user settings, they should be stored under the HKEY_CURRENT_US ER
path. If the user's settings are not found when the code is launched (such
as a new user is added to the computer), then copy from the safe place such
as HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE. This way you are only reading from HKLM. Hopefully I
understood your concern correctly. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
It seems to be a generally adopted convention to have a function return
FALSE in case of an error. But if a function is supposed to return a boolean
anyway, one cannot distinguish anymore between the "normal" FALSE and the
"error" FALSE. So why not using NULL instead to indicate an error? Are there
drawbacks I am not aware of?
Greetings,
