Check out the Microsoft.Win32 .Registry class.

i wrote a little wrapper that was handy for my use of the registry, maybe
it'll give you an idea as to how to get around. It's working with the HKEY
"LOCALMACHI NE", if you want to change it to another HKEY, then just do a
"Find" on "LocalMachi ne" and change it to whatever other HKEY you want to
access...

using System;
using Microsoft.Win32 ; // where the reg stuff resides

namespace RegistryStuff
{
public class RegAnalyser
{
public static void SetValue ( string szSubKey, string szName,
string szData )
{
RegistryKey reg;
reg = Registry.LocalM achine.CreateSu bKey( szSubKey );
reg.SetValue( szName, szData );
}

public static string GetValue ( string szSubKey, string szName )
{
RegistryKey reg;
reg = Registry.LocalM achine.OpenSubK ey ( szSubKey );
if ( reg != null )
return Convert.ToStrin g(reg.GetValue( szName ));
else
return null;
}

public static string[] GetSubKeys ( string szSubKey )
{
RegistryKey reg;
reg = Registry.LocalM achine.OpenSubK ey( szSubKey );
if ( reg != null )
return reg.GetSubKeyNa mes();
else
return null;
}
}
}

if you've got any questions let me know.

As I am reading the .NET documentation, I get the feeling that Microsoft is trying to get rid of the registry. My understanding is that an application built using .NET does not use the registry at all. So, conceivably as applications are migrated to .NET, the registry could disappear in a future version of Windows. Does anybody out there agree with me? Of course, they might keep the registry for backward compatibility purposes.

Below is an excerpt from my Registry Log, created by Redmon, showing the process whereby TweakUI added the compressed folder option to the new sub-menu in the right click context menu for open folders and desktop. I hope someone can help me to better understand what this log excerpt means, or point me to info sources that do a good job of explaining how to interpret exactly what the various phrases, words, and numbers in the log mean.

My question about how to add an assembly search path to VS.NET's IDE remains unanswered, but I'm still faced with a problem possibly associated with this: my exported registry is more than 67MB. This seems much too large to be normal, even for a developer's machine. I've read in places that "it's not recommended that you register assemblies in the GAC when developing addins", yet the instructions for adding a path the IDE configuration...

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. Is there a way to create a registry key, but orphan it from the program that created it? Reason: Create a key, but not associate it with the program, so that the program can check for that key to see if the product has been installed and stop a second installation or illegal installation. If not orphan, can you encrypt the Key so that only your program can decrypt

Getting a string of boolean value into and out of the registry is no problem. Here's the problem: Although you can place an object into the registry and retreive it, I need to place an ArrayList object with 10 string items into the registry and retreive them later. I tried this: key.SetValue("lstNSXitems", lstNSX.Items) where "lstNSXitems" is the name of the subkey, and lstNSX.Items is the

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
