query registry from aspx page

Trying to query the registry here from my aspx page but keep getting the
following error. Any ideas?

Server Error in '/' Application.

Sorry for confusion. Using vb.net.

This seems to be a mixture of VB.NET and C#...

Line 24 looks like VB.NET, but it looks as if Dim is missing at the
beginning.

Line 26 looks like C# due to the instantiation syntax, the fact that
'false' is all lower-case, and the semi-colon at the end.

Line 28 looks like VB.NET, but it has a semi-colon at the end.

Please clarify what server-side language you are using...

Possibly a syntax error.

I love the smell of fresh sarcasm in the morning

I ended up solving the problem by ripping out a bunch of junk code (I'm not
the one who had put the page together). This worked like a charm:

Dim MyPath =
Microsoft.Win32.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlahCo\BlahProduct",
"Path", Nothing)

Just a little surprised no one else had suggested this simple one liner to
get the registry value. Plenty o' sarcasm though ;-)

Cheers!
