Thanks for the response. As mentioned earlier, i already tried dotnet direct approach to read registry but there are certain areas in this legacy code where i cant use the dotnet approach directly. Is there a way where i can handle the existing objShell.ReadRegistry in a better way. I am currently thinking of catching the system.io.exceptions and use on error resume next in a controlled way. As its just about registry reading, nothing much, so i think i can skip certain errors in specific locations.

thanks for your response John. But the problem here is that we are talking about installer exe, where the executable name (_is56.exe) will be changing everytime the build is taken. So i cant keep a static executable name for process checking. I agree with your PID justification too. Process name i cant use as that will show up as "Setup" or "Setup64" which is way too generic and chances are there that another setup might be running on the host machine. So, process name is also apt. Now the only option left is Process description - which in our case is unique and it will never be changed as we have developed it. So any ideas or workaround to detect a process is running or not, based on the process description? Thanks

Hi Dave thanks for the response. This is corporate confidential code so obviously i cant publish all the logic or details. Why this variable is used? why list is used? what is mainobject? etc.. But wrt to the question whatever is relevant information, i have provided. And yes, i missed that closing curly braces while formatting the code snippet.

Anyways, i have decided to condition the logic based on the number of arguments passed. This is not exactly what i was looking for, but atleast it works. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Eric, i tried your method but getting the output like this:
<security mode="Transport" proxyCredential="None" realm="">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />


I want it in this way:
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />

Please help. how can i get this.

Super Thanks Eric.

Sorry my bad. The application was trying to fetch the data from some other machine as the Web.config file not updated w.r.t the new connection string.
:P
Stupid mistakes Ruins Life :D

Thanks for all your help. And also to suggest me to use Convert.ToString.

The query works in sql studio
What should i do now?

No change in behavior

The strangest part is.. The database has many values. This code is always sending null for all the values present in the DB, Except for one particular value. If i send the ID of this particular value, i always get the exact corresponding value of this particular ID. But the same does'nt work for other values. All the values are in text format and i do'nt see any format issues which can create this situation.

Hello Karthik,

Thanks for the response. As suggested by you, i tried Convert.ToString. Now instead of null, its sending "". But rest assured, in the database, value is present. why its not returning the value.
