Redpoint.Registry

This library provides an easy way to access nested registry keys without having to individually open each component on the registry path.

Example

You can open an arbitrary registry key in read-only mode as shown below.

using (var stack = RegistryStack.OpenPath("HKCU:\SOFTWARE\MyCompany\SomeKey"))
{
    if (stack.Exists)
    {
        // Access the key in read-only mode via Key.
        var key = stack.Key;
    }
}

If you want to open the key in read-write mode, pass writable: true.

using (var stack = RegistryStack.OpenPath("HKCU:\SOFTWARE\MyCompany\SomeKey", writable: true))
{
    if (stack.Exists)
    {
        // Access the key in read-write mode via Key.
        var key = stack.Key;
    }
}

If you want to create the key if it does not exist, pass create: true. This infers writable: true.

using (var stack = RegistryStack.OpenPath("HKCU:\SOFTWARE\MyCompany\SomeKey", create: true))
{
    // Access the key in read-write mode via Key.
    var key = stack.Key;
}
