create registry value - bug in VS?The following code should work and doesn't: My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Dravet") My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dravet", "loglevel", "1") My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.GetValue("loglevel") This code does work: My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Dravet") My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dravet", "loglevel", "1") My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.GetValue("loglevel") They are equiviant lines of code, so why doesn't the top code work? From what I can gather from the MSDN website both pieces of code should work.

Also have you tried without the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part as using LocalMachine likely implies that you are already relative to this location ? -- Patrice "Ben" <ben553***@yahoo.com> a écrit dans le message de news: %23fjXGbygGHA.3***@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...Show quoteHide quote >I think I might have found a bug in Visual Studio. > > The following code should work and doesn't: > My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Dravet") > My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dravet", > "loglevel", "1") > My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.GetValue("loglevel") > > This code does work: > My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Dravet") > My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dravet", > "loglevel", "1") > My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.GetValue("loglevel") > > They are equiviant lines of code, so why doesn't the top code work?
