Problems accesing the register

[batserra]

hi everyone,

I have problems accesing the windows register, i want to create some keys (if there isn't) with this format:

software\company\parameters
|
|___Variable1 Valor1
|___Variable2 Valor2
|___Variable3 Valor3

I trayed with:

dim v1 as string
Dim key As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Company\Parameters")
key.CreateSubKey("Variable1")
v1 = key.GetValue("Variable1").ToString
if v1 == Null then v1="Valor1"

But doesn't work, any idea?
As ever many thanks...

Why are you using:

Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Company\Parameters")

? The way I've always done it is simply along the lines of:

My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", _
                              Application.ProductName, _
                              Application.ExecutablePath)

Obviously that's for booting programs on startup but you get the point. If there's some reason you've done it like you have just ignore this post but otherwise, hope I helped.

Do something like this.

Dim v1 As String = "Valor1"
        Dim key As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Company\Parameters")
        If key.GetValue("Variable1") Is Nothing Then
            key.SetValue("Variable1", v1)
        End If
