En el ejemplo de código siguiente se almacenan valores de varios tipos de datos en una clave de ejemplo, se crea la clave tal y como lo hace y, a continuación, se recuperan y muestran los valores. En el ejemplo se muestra cómo almacenar y recuperar el par nombre-valor predeterminado (sin nombre) y el uso de defaultValue cuando no existe un par nombre-valor.

Comentarios

A partir de .NET Framework 4, el valueName parámetro ya no está restringido a un máximo de 255 caracteres; sin embargo, el keyName parámetro sigue teniendo la restricción de 255 caracteres.

Dado que muchos valores se pueden almacenar en cada clave del Registro, debe usar el valueName parámetro para especificar el valor determinado que desea establecer.

Si valueName no existe en la clave, se crea y el valor asociado se establece valueen .

Si keyName especifica una subclave que no existe, la subclave se crea en la raíz especificada. Por ejemplo, en Visual Basic, la cadena "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MyTestKey" crea la subclave "MyTestKey" en la raíz de HKEY_CURRENT_USER. La cadena "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MyTestKey\Key2\Key3" crea las subclaves anidadas "MyTestKey", "MyTestKey\Key2" y "MyTestKey\Key2\Key3".

Los nombres raíz válidos incluyen HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_USERS, HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA, HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG y HKEY_DYN_DATA.

Esta sobrecarga de almacena enteros de SetValue 64 bits como cadenas (RegistryValueKind.String). Para almacenar números de 64 bits como RegistryValueKind.QWord valores, use la sobrecarga del SetValue(String, String, Object, RegistryValueKind) método .

Esta sobrecarga de almacena todos los valores de SetValue cadena como RegistryValueKind.String objetos, incluso si contienen referencias expandibles a variables de entorno. Para guardar los valores de cadena como cadenas expandibles (RegistryValueKind.ExpandString), use la sobrecarga del SetValue(String, String, Object, RegistryValueKind) método .

Esta sobrecarga es equivalente a llamar a la sobrecarga del SetValue(String, String, Object, RegistryValueKind) método con RegistryValueKind.Unknown.

A partir de .NET Framework 4, el valueName parámetro ya no está restringido a un máximo de 255 caracteres; sin embargo, el keyName parámetro sigue teniendo la restricción de 255 caracteres.

Dado que muchos valores se pueden almacenar en cada clave del Registro, debe usar el valueName parámetro para especificar el valor determinado que desea establecer.

Si valueName no existe en la clave, se crea y el valor asociado se establece valueen .

Si keyName especifica una subclave que no existe, la subclave se crea en la raíz especificada. Por ejemplo, en Visual Basic, la cadena "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MyTestKey" crea la subclave "MyTestKey" en la raíz de HKEY_CURRENT_USER. La cadena "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MyTestKey\Key2\Key3" crea las subclaves anidadas "MyTestKey", "MyTestKey\Key2" y "MyTestKey\Key2\Key3".

Los nombres raíz válidos incluyen HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_USERS, HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA, HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG y HKEY_DYN_DATA.

Si el tipo de especificado value no coincide con el especificado valueKindy los datos no se pueden convertir, ArgumentException se produce . Por ejemplo, puede almacenar como System.Int64 , RegistryValueKind.DWordpero solo si su valor es menor que el valor máximo de .System.Int32 No se puede almacenar un valor de cadena único como .RegistryValueKind.MultiString
