create registry value - bug in VS?

[Ben]

I think I might have found a bug in Visual Studio.

The following code should work and doesn't:
My.Computer.Reg istry.LocalMach ine.CreateSubKe y("Software\Dra vet")
My.Computer.Reg istry.LocalMach ine.SetValue("H KEY_LOCAL_MACHI NE\Software\Dra vet",
"loglevel", "1")
My.Computer.Reg istry.LocalMach ine.GetValue("l oglevel")

This code does work:
My.Computer.Reg istry.LocalMach ine.CreateSubKe y("Software\Dra vet")
My.Computer.Reg istry.SetValue( "HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\Software\D ravet",
"loglevel", "1")
My.Computer.Reg istry.LocalMach ine.GetValue("l oglevel")

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.

Thanks,
Ben

Re: create registry value - bug in VS?

And the error is ?

Also have you tried without the HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE part as using
LocalMachine likely implies that you are already relative to this location ?

Re: create registry value - bug in VS?

Looks like the My NameSpace uses the same strategy i.e. keys are to be
opened/closed. Try :
With My.Computer.Reg istry.CurrentUs er.CreateSubKey ("Software\Drav et")

..SetValue("log level", 1)

..Close()

End With

(I'm using CurrentUser as I'm not working under an administrative account )
