Adding and modifying Windows System Variables

[Sean Campbell]

Hello all!

I have been looking in the Framework documentation for an answer and it has
not shown itself. Could someone tell me if it is possible with VB or C# to
add and modify Windows System Variables? If so, how with .NET 1.1 or 2.0?

I need to be to set certain program settings in a specific variable and
would prefer doing it programmatically and not manually.

Thanks for your help.

If you mean Environment variables then you can use
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable/SetEnvironmentVariable methods for environment vars management.

Hello Vadym!

That is exactly what I needed. I was going through some documentation and it
referred to System Variables and the framework doc uses Environment
Variables. Thanks for the help.
