I think not. Generics have been introduced to C# with version 2.0 of the language.

You write a class that contains an ArrayList and offers typesafe methods to add and remove items from the list.

Hi.
I want to find out the path to the AcrobatReader executable file in case it is installed on the local computer.
For this I must search the registry.

What key should I look for?

I saw with regedit.exe that \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\DefaultIcon has the exact value I need(path to acrord32.exe). But is this right?

object obj =                Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("acrobat").OpenSubKey("DefaultIcon").GetValue(""); <br />
            return obj.ToString();

The above code works, but I don't know that this is the proper way to do it.
What other keys would be indicated?
Note: I must not rely on the fact that AcrobatReader is the default program associated with pdf files, so searching for the default program associated with pdf is rulled out.
Thank you.

hi
if you look for [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader] and it does not return a null value then you have the software installed. then you can open sub-keys to check the version and the location of the exe file.

hope this helps

Thanks.
But this approach has some issues:
* Nowhere in it's subkeys have I found a reference to the actual exe file, just to the install folder. Have you?
* More importantly, I see that the subkey structure depends on the version of AcrobatReader installed on the machine

Anyway, if I don't find anything better I'll go for a combination of the two solutions.

hi again

i did found the location from the key - 'InstallPath' and the executable file from the key - 'Language\next'

as for the subkey structure, it depends on the version, but a little research will solve that as well.

i have versions 8 and 5 in my machine and their subkeys are:
v8 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\
v5 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\

hope this helps

Thanks again.
Could you please share the full name of the InstallPath key for your versions?

I have version 7 and mine is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\InstallPath

PandemoniumPasha8-Jun-07 0:55

hi,

the full paths are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\5.0\InstallPath]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\InstallPath]

1. Create a new blank MS Word document.
2. Stream read it with your C# app.
3. Save the data you get from your stream to be used later as the header of your newly created word docs.
4. Create a new file with the .doc extension.
5. Start writing the header you kept earlier from step 2.
6. Append what ever you want here.

ps. You may have data before and after your data, to check that, go through 1-3, and then open your word document and add any testing text, save it and compare it's data with the previous one to see where's the differences, MS DOS FC is a good tool to do that, fire it from your C# app and store it's outputs.

Cheers.
