In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you read an embedded RegMultiString list from a site control file component or configuration resource by getting the RegMultiStringList SMS_Client_Reg_MultiString_List object from the resources RegMultiStringLists property array.

To read a RegMultiString list

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Using the connection object from step one, get a site control file resource. For more information, see About the Configuration Manager Site Control File.
Get the SMS_Client_Reg_MultiString_List for the required RegMultiString list.
View the RegMultiString list values in the SMS_Client_Reg_MultiString_ListValueStrings array property.

Example

The following example method populates the supplied valueStrings parameter with the value strings of the embedded RegMultiString list identified by the valueName parameter. true is returned if the RegMultiString list is found; otherwise, false is returned.

You can update the embedded RegMultiString list returned from this method by using the method How to Write a Configuration Manager Site Control File Embedded RegMultiString List.

To view code that calls these methods, see How to Read and Write to the Configuration Manager Site Control File by Using Managed Code or see How to Read and Write to the Configuration Manager Site Control File by Using WMI.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Function GetScfRegMultiStringList(resource,  _
        valueName,                           _
        ByRef valueString) 
        
    dim regMultiStringList       
                
    If IsNull(resource.RegMultiStringLists) = True Then
            GetScfRegMultiStringList = false
            Exit Function
    End If    


    For Each regMultiStringList in resource.RegMultiStringLists
        if UCase(regMultiStringList.ValueName) = UCase(valueName) Then
            ' Found the property, so populate values and exit.
            valueName = regMultiStringList.ValueName 
            valueString = regMultiStringList.ValueStrings
            GetScfRegMultiStringList = True
            Exit Function
        End If    
    Next
    
    ' Did not find the string list.
    GetScfRegMultiStringList = False    
End Function

public bool GetScfRegMultiStringList(
IResultObject resource,
string valueName,
out ArrayList valueStrings)
{
    valueStrings = new ArrayList();
    
    try
    {
        if (resource.RegMultiStringLists.ContainsKey(valueName))
        {
            valueStrings.AddRange(resource.RegMultiStringLists[valueName]["ValueStrings"].StringArrayValue);
            return true;
        }
    }
    catch (SmsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Couldn't get multi-string list: " + e.Message);
    }
    return false;

}

The sample method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
Resource	Managed: IResultObject VBScript: SWbemObject	The site control file resource that contains the RegMultiString list.
ValueName	Managed: Integer VBScript: Integer	The RegMultiString list name. It is obtained from the SMS_Client_Reg_MultiString_List class ValueName property.
ValueStrings	Managed: String VBScript: String	The RegMultiString list. It is obtained from the SMS_Client_Reg_MultiString_List class ValueStrings property.
