RegistryKey function

R A
Hi

I write the registry value using the following:
Size size = new Size (100, 500);

Key.SetValue (ClientSizeName , size);

How can I retreive the value back to a Size type?

When I use

System.Type t = Key.GetValue (ClientSizeName ).GetType ();

It comes back as a string, and thats ok because thats how it gets stored in
the registry. I wonder if there is a way to get it back as a Size type, or
do I have to manipulate the string?

Thanks,

Ronen

R A,

Could you not just cast the result like this:

Size s = (Size) Key.GetValue (ClientSizeName );

I seem to be experiencing a behavior on Framework 1.0 sp2 RegistryKey class where the class is not releasing/closing named pipe winreg handles to remote machines. The process continues to hold on to a handle to the following pipe: \Device\LanmanRedirector\<MACHINE>\PIPE\winreg Even after explicitly calling Close() (which, according to the docs, should not matter for a base key), and expliticly doing garbage collections, I cannot seem...

Hi, all... Trying to determine how to check the state of OpenSubKey when called. What is the return value if the requested subkey doesn't exist?? I try a GetType on the result but only get a bizarre error, so I'm uncertain what should be returned on both success or failure! Thanks! Jack

How can I set write permissions for a limited user to write values to a certain registrykey. This registrykey is also written to by a administrator (which probably also created the key in the first place). I have looked at the RegistryPermission class but would really like to see a code sample on this. How can it be done, simplest way possible? thanx

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
