Editing Registry using .net

For editing registry using .net you need to import microsot.win32 namespace. The Microsoft.Win32 namespace provides two types of classes: those that handle events raised by the operating system and those that manipulate the system registry.

In editing registry we have to do following operations. Those are:

Creating Subkey:

First you have to import Microsoft.win32 namespace. Then declare a variable of type registry key. Do as guided in code.

VB.Net code

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Public Class Pathcreater

Private sub subkey_creator()

        Dim regKey1 As RegistryKey

        Dim strpath as string

      ‘let we have to create path under localmachine. Let it be hello_world_key under software.

       Strpath=”Software\hello_world_key”

            regKey1 = Registry.LocalMachine

regKey1.CreateSubKey(strpath)

            regKey1.Close()

End Sub

End Class

Creating Value:

For creating value first you need to open the subkey then you could create a value.

VB.Net

Imports Microsoft.win32

Public class value_creator

Private sub value_work()

        Dim regkey As RegistryKey

         regkey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("software\hello_world_key", True)

‘ valuename like nodrives, etc. Value like 1 or 0, etc.

            regkey.SetValue("valuename", value)

            regkey.Close()

End sub

End Class

Example in Vb.Net

System.Security.Permissions Namespace

The System.Security.Permissions namespace defines classes that control access to operations and resources based on policy.
