modifying the registry key value

Question

I have a registry path of the following

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COMPANY\COMPFOLDER 

inside COMPFOLDER, I have a string value called "Deno" whose value is 0. I wish to change its value to 1 by code whenever I execute the code. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

It's been a while I did reg hacks, but something like this could work:

RegistryKey myKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Company\\Compfolder", true); if(myKey != null)    {    myKey.SetValue("Deno", "1", RegistryValueKind.String);    myKey.Close(); } 

Answer 2

using (RegistryKey key = regKeyRoot.OpenSubKey(KeyName, true)) // Must dispose key or use "using" keyword {     if (key != null)  // Must check for null key     {         key.SetValue(attribute, value);     } }
