How to Read DWORD from registry in VB.Net I tired below code

Dim rk As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion", False)

Dim registryValue As Int32 = CInt(rk.GetValue("InstallDate", Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord))

But it always returns 0.

There may be a difference... are you sure it is not a string or a long? – muffi Sep 06 '17 at 05:07
Yes. It is DWORD, but in VB.net there is no data type like DWORD, so used Int32 – Chithra G Sep 06 '17 at 05:10

I need other values from Registry. Only for example I have given it – Chithra G Sep 06 '17 at 05:21
The solution [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25912947/get-decimal-value-from-a-dword-in-the-registry) should work – Youssef13 Sep 06 '17 at 06:42

Use [this site](http://converter.telerik.com/) to convert C# to VB.NET ( It's easy to do that manually without sites too ). – Youssef13 Sep 06 '17 at 09:04
