ERROR_MORE_DATA ---- Reading from Registry
- by user314749
I am trying to create an offline registry in memory using the offreg.dll provided in the windows ddk 7 package.
You can find out more information on the offreg.dll here: MSDN
Currently, while attempting to read a value from an open registry hive / key I receive the following error: 234 or ERROR_MORE_DATA
Here is the .h code that contains ORGetValue:
DWORD
ORAPI
ORGetValue (
__in ORHKEY Handle,
__in_opt PCWSTR lpSubKey,
__in_opt PCWSTR lpValue,
__out_opt PDWORD pdwType,
__out_bcount_opt(*pcbData) PVOID pvData,
__inout_opt PDWORD pcbData
);
Here is the code that I am using to pull the data
[DllImport("offreg.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, EntryPoint = "ORGetValue", SetLastError = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static extern uint ORGetValue(IntPtr Handle, string lpSubKey, string lpValue, out uint pdwType, out string pvData, out uint pcbData);
IntPtr myHive;
IntPtr myKey;
string myValue;
uint pdwtype;
uint pcbdata;
uint ret3 = ORGetValue(myKey, "", "DefaultUserName", out pdwtype, out myValue, out pcbdata);
The goal is to be able to read myValue as a string.
I am not sure if I need to use marshaling... or a second call with an adjusted buffer.. Or really how to adjust the buffer in C#. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
