Help with simple task...get data from registry into a text box on a form

I am trying to pull data from the registry and output in into a text box on a form. I have the pull part:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim readValue As String

readValue = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _

("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters", "DhcpDomain", Nothing)

How do I display the readValue in a text box or label Thanks for any help. I know it should be easy.

  • gdev

    Form1.Textbox1.Text = ReadValue

    will put the contents of string Readvalue into a textbox called textbox1 on a form called Form1.

    Stick this in the Form load after you have retrieved the value and you should be good.
