SetValueForKey unencrypted?

[Martin Stevnhoved]

Hi MMSOFT.

Is there an easy way for using SetValueForKey and GetValueForKey without encrypting the data.
Sometimes we want the plugin-data to be configured or manipulated directly via registry.

Quote

GetValueForKey()

GetValueForKey is used to get a previously stored value using "SetValueForKey". This takes the value from the Windows Registry, decrypts it and returns your value in clear text.

void SetValueForKey(string Key, string Value)

In order to save plugin's data we can implement our own methods or use "SetValueForKey" which creates a registry entry with the name specified in the "Key" parameter and our value safely encrypted.

If not, can anyone help providing a C# function that always will return the same registry key name as GetValueForKey/SetValueForKey uses?

Best Regards,
Martin.

Hi Martin,

It's not possible to store it in clear text I'm afraid. Check out this article on how to read and write registry values.

Thanks. I have now worked around it. :-)

Consider it a feature-request. It should be easy to implement a optional boolean parameter.

Bye,
