Opening a notepad file

Expand Post »

This is my first attempt ever at a program in C#. Here's what I have so far:

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
using System;
using Microsoft.Win32;
 
class reg
{
static void Main()
{
RegistryKey hklm =Registry.LocalMachine;
hklm=hklm.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obp=hklm.GetValue("Identifier");
Console.WriteLine("Processor Identifier:{0}",obp);
 
RegistryKey hklp =Registry.LocalMachine;
hklp=hklp.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obc=hklp.GetValue("VendorIdentifier");
Console.WriteLine("Vendor Identifier:{0}",obc);
 
RegistryKey biosv =Registry.LocalMachine;
biosv=biosv.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\MultiFunctionAdapter\\4");
Object obv=biosv.GetValue("Identifier");
Console.WriteLine("Bios Status:{0}",obv);
 
RegistryKey biosd =Registry.LocalMachine;
biosd=biosd.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obd=biosd.GetValue("SystemBiosDate");
Console.WriteLine("Bios Date:{0}",obd);
 
RegistryKey bios =Registry.LocalMachine;
bios=bios.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obs=bios.GetValue("Identifier");
Console.WriteLine("System Identifer:{0}",obs);
 
string x = Console.ReadLine();
}
}
using System;
using Microsoft.Win32;

class reg
{
static void Main()
{
RegistryKey hklm =Registry.LocalMachine;
hklm=hklm.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obp=hklm.GetValue("Identifier");
Console.WriteLine("Processor Identifier:{0}",obp);

RegistryKey hklp =Registry.LocalMachine;
hklp=hklp.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obc=hklp.GetValue("VendorIdentifier");
Console.WriteLine("Vendor Identifier:{0}",obc);

RegistryKey biosv =Registry.LocalMachine;
biosv=biosv.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\MultiFunctionAdapter\\4");
Object obv=biosv.GetValue("Identifier");
Console.WriteLine("Bios Status:{0}",obv);

RegistryKey biosd =Registry.LocalMachine;
biosd=biosd.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obd=biosd.GetValue("SystemBiosDate");
Console.WriteLine("Bios Date:{0}",obd);

RegistryKey bios =Registry.LocalMachine;
bios=bios.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obs=bios.GetValue("Identifier");
Console.WriteLine("System Identifer:{0}",obs);

string x = Console.ReadLine();
}
}

I want this program to grab these registry keys and place them into a notepad file. Right now all it does is open a dos window and place them in there. How can I go about getting them to open notepad and place them in there?

Re: Opening a notepad file

Here is a small windows application that I threw together. It is just a modification of your code. It saves each value into the text file. Then opens it in notepad.

            InitializeComponent();
            RegistryKey hklm = Registry.LocalMachine;
            hklm = hklm.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
            Object obp = hklm.GetValue("Identifier");
            sw.WriteLine("Processor Identifier: " + obp);
 
            RegistryKey hklp = Registry.LocalMachine;
            hklp = hklp.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
            Object obc = hklp.GetValue("VendorIdentifier");
            sw.WriteLine("Vendor Identifier: ", obc);
 
            RegistryKey biosv = Registry.LocalMachine;
            biosv = biosv.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\MultiFunctionAdapter\\4");

Re: Opening a notepad file

That's exactly what I need, but apparently you have a form created with yours and that's what's confusing me.

Re: Opening a notepad file

Then just use this code.

Quote ...

RegistryKey hklm = Registry.LocalMachine;
hklm = hklm.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obp = hklm.GetValue("Identifier");
sw.WriteLine("Processor Identifier: " + obp);

RegistryKey hklp = Registry.LocalMachine;
hklp = hklp.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obc = hklp.GetValue("VendorIdentifier");
sw.WriteLine("Vendor Identifier: ", obc);

RegistryKey biosv = Registry.LocalMachine;
biosv = biosv.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\MultiFunctionAdapter\\4");
Object obv = biosv.GetValue("Identifier");
sw.WriteLine("Bios Status: ", obv);

RegistryKey biosd = Registry.LocalMachine;
biosd = biosd.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obd = biosd.GetValue("SystemBiosDate");
sw.WriteLine("Bios Date: ", obd);

RegistryKey bios = Registry.LocalMachine;
bios = bios.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obs = bios.GetValue("Identifier");
sw.WriteLine("System Identifer:{0}", obs);
sw.Close();

Process notePad = new Process();
notePad.StartInfo.FileName = "notepad.exe";
notePad.StartInfo.Arguments = "C:\\SysInfo";
notePad.Start();

Thats all you need.
