Determine which registry key is newer (RegEnumKeyEx?) [C# 2002]

[Shaitan00]

I'm converting code from VC++6 to VC#2002 and have encountered my first roadblock with respect to using "RegEnumKeyEx" to compare the time stamps of registry

keys (when they were created to find the newest one).

Currently I do the following in VC++6 to determine which key is the newest:

   FILETIME ft, mrft; // mr = most recent
   mrft.dwLowDateTime = 0;
   mrft.dwHighDateTime = 0;

   while (ERROR_SUCCESS == (rc = RegEnumKeyEx( hkBase,
                                       Index++,
                                       Name,
                                       &Length,
                                       NULL,
                                       NULL,
                                       NULL,
                                       &ft))))
      {
      if (CompareFileTime (&mrft, &ft))
         {
         mrft.dwLowDateTime = ft.dwLowDateTime;
         mrft.dwHighDateTime = ft.dwHighDateTime;
         newestName = Name;
         }
   }
   ...
   ...

So my problem is how to accomplish this in C#?
Is there an alternative approach I should be using under the DotNet platform for C#? Or is there a way I can include "RegEnumKeyEx" somehow (like I would do a DECLARE with coredll.dll in VB or something) in the C# project so I can use the function as-is (continue the same way I was before)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I can't find anything in the documentation that speaks about retrieving a Registry key's last write time, but that certainly doesn't mean that it isn't there.

Anyway, here is your equivalent of Declare in VB.NET is DllImport:

You may want to also check this out as it looks like it has the function you want:

Good luck.
