I have a single integer that I wish to save from execution to execution of a
simple application.
Is there a way to save this persistent data in a registry key from a Visual

Yes.

Mark, thanks for the response.
I was actually asking a more specific question:
What methods are available in Visual C++ to get and set a registry key
(value).
Searching the Visual C++ Express Edition help system produced no results
whatsoever. I know what the SDK level there is an API call that would do what
I want. I am still so new Visual C++ to know if there is access from .NET to
the "native" APIs.
Again thanks,
BTW: The only reason I picked on the registry as the repository for my one
word of data is that I could think of no other place to put it.

In Win32 APIs, the RegOpenKeyEx. RegQueryValueEx , RegSetValueEx,
RegCreateKeyEx etc. functions can be used.
In .NET, the Microsoft.Win32 .Registry class can be used.

Makes sense. The link does have info about important items though, like
where in the registry to put items depending on whether the data is
per-user, machine wide (local machine), etc.

Steve:
If you are using C++/CLI then the easiest way to access the registry is surely
the same as it would be in C#. Your question is not one about Visual C++, but
rather about .NET.
I am no expert in .NET, but it seems that the RegistryKey class is what you want.

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.

My question about how to add an assembly search path to VS.NET's IDE remains

I've read in places that "it's not recommended that you register assemblies

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

Hi,
I want to store some data in the registry, however I have not been able to
do this, and think my logic maybe flawed.
Firstly I try to open the registry and read in any existing values.

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
