vb.net 08 Reading data from multiple reg keys

Jan 6th, 2009

Hi,

In the reg key below there can be 50 different keys, how can i read through each one and get its display name and then show those display names in a lsitbox or combo box.

hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

I am using the code below to get the data in that single key but how do i get all data in display name in each of the multiple keys located in the key folder above
