Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a question about reading the registry from my .net desktop application.<br />
<br />
I am trying to read the registry entries using c# from my application.<br />
I understand this operation requires the admin permission.<br />
<br />
My question is when I install some software like Word or Photoshop.<br />
Every time they load, they access the registry to read info like when was last time it was opened or etc.<br />
<br />
How does those application read the registry without the admin permission?<br />
<br />
Can you explain?

Hi,

reading registry using c#?

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
