WindowsRegistryManager

A generic Registry Reader and Writer library in .NET. The project depends on my StrategySupporter library.

Example The following examples show how to use the basic methods of the library.

Step 1

Define your class, which will be written to the Windows Registry, and tag it with [Serializable].

[Serializable]
public class MyClass
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public bool IsProgrammer { get; set; }

    public MyClass(string name, int age, bool isProgrammer)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        IsProgrammer = isProgrammer;
    }
}

Step 2

Instantiate the WindowsRegistryService.

// Define the registry root in which you want to read/write.
RootKey rootKey = RootKey.CurrentUser;

// Define the absolute Registry path, where you want to read/write.
string registryPathWithoutRoot = @"Exampe\SubFolder\SubSubFolder";

// Instantiate the WindowsRegistryService.
IWindowsRegistryService windowsRegistryService = new WindowsRegistryService(rootKey, registryPathWithoutRoot);

Step 3 - Writing to Registry

// Define the object you want to write out to Registry.
MyClass object = new MyClass("Joe", 30, true);

// Writing one element:
string registryEntryName = "object1";
windowsRegistryService.Add(registryEntryName, object1);

Step 4 - Reading from Registry

MyClass readOutObject = windowsRegistryService.Get(registryEntryName);
