    Writing to Registry

    OK, A friend of mine needs help writing to registry... this is what he wants to write:


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\abc\xyz]

    "bindform"="\"BICNDISSys\" yes no container"
    "class"=hex(7):42,49,43,4e,44,49,53,44,72,69,76,65,72,20,62,61,73,69,63,00,00
    "bindable"=hex(7):42,49,43,4e,44,49,53,44,72,69,76,65,72,20,42,49,43,4e,44,49,\
    53,41,64,61,70,74,65,72,20,6e,6f,6e,20,65,78,63,6c,75,73,69,76,65,20,31,30,\
    30,00,00

    "DevConf"=hex:84,00,00,00,84,00,00,00,84,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,6c,00,00,00,18,\
    00,00,00,6c,00,00,00,03,00,01,00,08,00,08,00,60,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,1c,00,\
    00,00,80,25,00,00,15,20,00,00,00,00,0a,00,0a,00,08,00,00,11,13,00,00,00,00,\
    00,06,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
    00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,10,01,00,00,00,\
    00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
    I can't make heads or tails of this, but I do know he wanted to write it as binary with the zero values

    I need code for this. Any kind soul willing to help me out? There's a pretzel (salted) to be won here.

    Ta!

    Yes everyone hates u.

    First step I assume is to convert Hex into Binary.

    Need to re-register ASP.NET?
    C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v#VERSIONNUMBER#\aspnet_regiis -i

    (Edit #VERSIONNUMBER# as needed - do a DIR if you don't know)

    Hey Lord rat, I've noticed you have a lot of registry related answers.

    Can this be done through code? No, not even a shellexecute, but through coding?

    Well, yeah.

    Basically, here is the format of what you posted:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\abc\xyz]

    This is the key. If it starts with a minus, it indicates you are deleting the key


    "bindform"="\"BICNDISSys\" yes no container"

    This assigns "BICNDISSys" yes no container to the value bindform. The backslashes mean that the quotes are part of the string and not intended to stop the quoted string.

    "class"=hex(7):42,49,43,4e,44,49,53,44,72,69,76,65,72,20,62,61,73,69,63,00,00

    This will assign the hex values seen to the value "class". Each number has no meaning to the last. Think of it as an array.

    "bindable"=hex(7):42,49,43,4e,44,49,53,44,72,69,76,65,72,20,42,49,43,4e,44,49,\
    53,41,64,61,70,74,65,72,20,6e,6f,6e,20,65,78,63,6c,75,73,69,76,65,20,31,30,\
    30,00,00

    "DevConf"=hex:84,00,00,00,84,00,00,00,84,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,6c,00,00,00,18,\
    00,00,00,6c,00,00,00,03,00,01,00,08,00,08,00,60,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,1c,00,\
    00,00,80,25,00,00,15,20,00,00,00,00,0a,00,0a,00,08,00,00,11,13,00,00,00,00,\
    00,06,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
    00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,10,01,00,00,00,\
    00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

    Same as above

    When you save the hex values, you will have to use some function that is capable of entering hex values in to the registry. The SaveSetting and my Module both are not capable of this.

    I honestly don't think so. If you open your registry and look at the following, you will see what I mean about hex:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

    Look at ShellState
