I am developing a windows application in .NET framework, using C#. At the time of application installation I want to write into the registry a certain value. So I have two questions regarding this :

  1. How can I execute a code for creating a registry entry at time of installation or there is some settings in the framework which allows us to do so ?

  2. I don’t want to create a new node in the registry, can I use some common place anywhere, in the registry or an existing node where I can store my value without affecting the local system settings ?

Please help me out.

Thanks,

Bibhu

    You can use the Microsoft.Win32.Registry class to read or write to the Windows registry.

    It’s considered bad form to just drop data values into existing registry keys. You should create a key path identified by your company and/or application name and put your registry stuff there. This is a courtesy to the end user who may want to remove all your application cruft after they remove your application from their system.
