Hi there,

you can use the same API calls as in VB6, just keep in mind that VB6 LONG datatype is a simple INTEGER in .Net:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.    Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "Kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Integer, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Integer
  2.  
  3.  
  4. Function GetKey(ByVal FileName$, ByVal section$, ByVal key$) As String
  5.     Dim n As Long
  6.     Dim Buffer$, t$
  7.  
  8.     Buffer$ = Space$(200)
  9.     n = GetPrivateProfileString(section$, key$, "", Buffer$, 200, FileName$)
  10.     If n > 0 Then
  11.        GetKey = Trim$(Left$(Buffer$, n))
  12.     else
  13.        GetKey = ""        
  14.     End If
  15. End Function
Let me know if this helped...
