虽然VB.NET中读取XML配置信息很方便，但有时开发的过程中还是要用到INI文件，在VB.NET中读取INI却不像VB中那么方便了，刚才写了个函数，现贴出来，也许各位能用得上。
'函数名: sdGetIniInfo
'功能:读取INI文件设置信息
'参数说明:iniFile-->INI文件 iniSection--INI文件中设置的部分名称

Function sdGetIniInfo(ByVal iniFile As String, ByVal iniSection As String) As String
If Not File.Exists(iniFile) Then
Return "文件 " & iniFile & " 未找到，请确认路径和文件名是否正确！"
Exit Function
End If
Dim iniRead As New StreamReader(iniFile)
Dim iniStr As String = iniRead.ReadToEnd
Dim i As Integer
Dim cLine As Integer
Dim noSec As Boolean = False
Dim getValue As String = ""
Dim cLst
cLst = iniStr.Split(Chr(13))
cLine = UBound(cLst)
For i = 0 To cLine
If cLst(i).indexof("=") > 0 Then
If cLst(i).split("=")(0).trim() = iniSection Then
noSec = True
getValue = cLst(i).split("=")(1).trim()
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
If noSec = True Then
Return getValue
Else
Return "没有找到 " & iniSection & " 的设置信息！"
End If
End Function
说明：在引用的面页中要先引用 Imports System.IO
EG:
set.ini文件内容：
[Info]
name=zhuang
age=20
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim name As String
name = sdGetIniInfo(Application.StartupPath & "\set.ini", "name")
MsgBox(name)
End Sub
