How to access Application.Use rAppDataRegistr y settings from a Windows service

Bob

I have a client app that writes a value to the registry (camera device ID).
I have used Application.Com monAppDataRegis try to write the value in my test
app.

How do I retrieve this data from a Windows service? Is the application
object accessible at all?

Cheers

Hi Bob,

The MSDN said,
If the key does not exist, it is created in the following format:
LocalMachine\So ftware\ CompanyName\ ProductName\ ProductVersion
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpref/html/
frlrfsystemwind owsformsapplica tionclasscommon appdataregistry topic.asp

Provided the client app is WindowsApplicat ion18, the info will be stored in
the key path below.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\W indowsApplicati on18\WindowsApp lication18\1.0. 1392.32335
You may try to use the registrykey class to restrieve the data from the key
above.
e.g.
[Client app]
Application.Com monAppDataRegis try.SetValue("h ello","world")

[Windows Service]
Dim str As String
Dim lm As RegistryKey
lm = Registry.LocalM achine
Dim rkey As RegistryKey =
lm.OpenSubKey(" SOFTWARE\Window sApplication18\ WindowsApplicat ion18\1.0.1392. 3
2335")
str = CType(rkey.GetV alue("hello"), String)
rkey.Close()

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
