Creating REG_QWORD Registry key value type

[Dave]

I'd like to create a Registry key value where the Registry key value
type is REG_QWORD.

I'm using SetValue(name As String, value As Object), and I understand
that the object type used in this function determines the registry
value type, however I cannot find a type eqivilant in vb.net that will
create the REG_QWORD type (they keep coming out as REG_SZ, REG_BINARY
or REG_DWORD)

Does anyone know how I can do this?
Kind Regards,

Dave

I've tried doing this without success. If you can provide sample code
that you think may work, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave,
According to MSDN the SetValue method:

<quote>
Value allowed in the registry can be DWORD, binary, and string. String
values can be represented as the following categories...
</quote>

In VB.NET a QWORD (64-bit number) would be a Long, however reading
RegistryKey.SetValue I get the impression its simply not supported...

Hope this helps

Thanks Jay, i'll just use the RegCreateKeyEx and RegSetValueEx
functions from the win32 api. I know they work.
