I need to read some configuration data from .ini file located at
Application.Sta rtupPath location .
Here is code snippet :
Public Declare Unicode Function GetPrivateProfi leString Lib "kernel32" Alias
"GetPrivateProf ileStringW" (ByVal lpApplicationNa me As String, ByVal
lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedStrin g As
String, ByVal nSize As Int32, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Int32
Dim File As String = Application.Sta rtupPath & "\" & filename
x = GetPrivateProfi leString("Confi guration", "DestDbPath ", "Error",
tmpString, Len(tmpString), filename)
What is the problem; Everything works fine on XP platform but when I deploy
application on Win98 platform i have problem.
File path is correct, file is correctly formated :
[Configuration]
DestDbPath = \\tlos-server\podaci\n ucleus2002\Baza-proizvodnja.mdb
SourceXMLPath = c:\tlos\izdatni ce
SkladIDs = 655
OJ = 11
User = Domagoj Kovačević
GetPrivateProfi leString function doesn't retreive data for requested
parameter but fills string buffer passed as reference with "Error"
What to do??????
Is my API declaration correct , I have "googled" and realized that there is
problem with GetPrivateProfi leString function , what is solution????
Win98 platform is mandatory!
I got about 25 stations with Windows 98!
Thanks a lot! 1 3657
Hello Domac, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...filestring.asp
Do your stations have the Microsoft Layer for Unicode installed?

I too am having the problem that this other guy/girl had. I put in
the proper API declarations and arguments for GetPrivateProfileString
yet it doesn't return the correct stuff. It always returns the
default value (padded with huge amount of spaces on the right) and the
return value (number of characters read) is some crazy huge number
like 51298398749084
Your demo doesn't work in .Net - it's for prior versions of VB, and so

Does C# has an equivalent of the 'C' GetPrivateProfileString? or is the only
way to get similar features to read from an INI file is to do a DllImport on

hi all,
I have a ini file in UTF-8, I am using GetPrivateProfileStringA() for reading and WriteprivateProfileStringA() for writing into the ini file. I am writing multibyte data into the file (using normal char *). so ini file is saved in UTF-8. And ini file is maintained in App data folder in windows systems.
Now the problem is.

Is there a better way of accomplishing this ?: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724353.aspx
I have some program settings which should be easily editable by the user (really like in a text file), but dont want to use such an old function like GetPrivateProfileString..
maybe an XML file would be the best solution ?
thanks
