Get Registry Type with C#

Hi schubduese,

I am not quite sure what you mean by Registry Type, but here are some useful C# Registry Links that might point you in the right direction.

Sorry if this is not what you are looking for.

rendaduiyan, I think you mean .GetValueKind(yourvaluename)

With this, it works... it reports for example "String"
That means I have to change it like this:

private String mValType = String.Empty;
 
switch (rvk.ToString())
{
    case "String":
        mValType = "REG_SZ";
        break;
    ...
    ...
 
}

Select allOpen in new window

the returned value is a enum,
RegistryValueKind:
String, REG_SZ
ExpandString, REG_EXPAND_SZ
Binary, REG_BINARY
DWord, REG_DWORD
MultiString, REG_MULTI_SZ
QWord, REG_QWORD
Unknown

It is easy for you to handle the enum.
