Fast Track Registry Access

The RegistryAccessor fast tracks the setting and querying of registry values. This class provides a very easy way to perform some of the more common registry operations. For more complex operations you need to use the RegistryDatabase, RegistryKey and RegistryValue classes.

Accessing Registries

The RegistryDatabase class models the local or a remote registry and is used to manipulate registry keys. With it you can create, delete, open, load and unload keys.

Accessing Registry Keys

The RegistryKey class represents registry keys. Using this class you can access a key’s sub-keys and values. Get and set values. Save and restore the key, its sub-keys and values. Enumerate the sub-keys and values by name or by object. Subscribe to change notification events for the key, specifying a notification filter and whether to also watch the sub-tree.

Accessing Registry Values

The RegistryValue class represents registry values. The default property, Value, allows you to get and set the registry value data. When setting the value the variant type determines the registry value type. When retrieving the value the registry value type determines the variant type. The mapping between registry value types and variant types is: binary data is stored as a byte array; an integer is stored in a long, a string or expanded string is stored in a string; and a multi-string is stored in a string array. The ExpandedString property allows expanded strings to be distinguished from normal strings.
