Ejemplos

En el ejemplo siguiente se intenta recuperar el valor de una variable de entorno denominada Test1 del bloque de entorno de proceso. Si la variable no existe, el ejemplo crea la variable y recupera su valor. En el ejemplo se muestra el valor de la variable. En el caso de las implementaciones de .NET que se ejecutan en sistemas Windows, también llama al método GetEnvironmentVariables(EnvironmentVariableTarget) con cada miembro de la enumeración EnvironmentVariableTarget para establecer que la variable solo se puede recuperar del bloque de entorno de proceso actual. (Las implementaciones de .NET en sistemas similares a Unix solo admiten variables en el bloque de entorno de proceso). Por último, si el ejemplo creó la variable, la elimina.

Comentarios

Llamar a este método equivale a llamar a la sobrecarga de SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget) con un valor de EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process para el argumento target.

En sistemas similares a Unix, las llamadas al método SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String) no tienen ningún efecto en las bibliotecas nativas que sean o se cargarán. (Por el contrario, los autores de llamadas administrados no ven las modificaciones del entorno en proceso realizadas por las bibliotecas nativas).

Si el argumento value no es null y la variable de entorno denominada por el parámetro variable no existe, la variable de entorno se crea y se asigna el contenido de value. Si existe, se modifica su valor. Dado que la variable de entorno se define en el bloque de entorno del proceso actual solo, no se conserva después de que el proceso haya finalizado.

Si variable contiene un carácter cero hexadecimal no inicial, los caracteres anteriores a cero se consideran el nombre de la variable de entorno y se omiten todos los caracteres posteriores.

Si value contiene un carácter cero hexadecimal no inicial, los caracteres anteriores a cero se asignan a la variable de entorno y se omiten todos los caracteres posteriores.

Si value está null (o está vacío en versiones anteriores a .NET 9) y la variable de entorno denominada por variable existe, se elimina la variable de entorno. Si variable no existe, no se produce ningún error aunque no se pueda realizar la operación. value se considera vacío en cualquiera de las condiciones siguientes:

• Es String.Empty.
• Consta de un solo carácter cuyo valor es U+0000.

Ejemplos

En el ejemplo siguiente se crean variables de entorno para los destinos de EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Usery Machine, se comprueba si el registro del sistema operativo contiene las variables de entorno de usuario y máquina y, a continuación, elimina las variables de entorno. Dado que .NET en sistemas similares a Unix no admite variables de entorno por usuario y por máquina, solo SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String) y SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget) con un valor de EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process almacenar correctamente una variable de entorno en el bloque de entorno de proceso.

El método SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget) permite definir una variable de entorno que esté disponible para el proceso actual (el valor de Process). Las variables de entorno que son únicas para el bloque de entorno de proceso actual solo se conservan hasta que finaliza el proceso.

Además, solo en los sistemas Windows, el método SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget) permite definir una variable de entorno que esté disponible para todos los procesos que se ejecutan en un equipo (el valor de EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine) y para todos los procesos ejecutados por un usuario (el valor EnvironmentVariableTarget.User). Las variables de entorno por máquina y por usuario se copian en el bloque de entorno del proceso actual.

En sistemas similares a Unix, se omiten las llamadas al método SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget) con un valor de EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine o EnvironmentVariableTarget.User.

En sistemas similares a Unix, las llamadas al método SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget) con un valor de EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process no tienen ningún efecto en las bibliotecas nativas que estén cargadas o se cargarán. (Por el contrario, los autores de llamadas administrados no ven las modificaciones del entorno en proceso realizadas por las bibliotecas nativas).

Si el argumento value no es null y la variable de entorno denominada por el argumento variable no existe, la variable de entorno se crea y asigna el contenido de value. Si existe, se modifica su valor.

Si variable contiene un carácter cero hexadecimal no inicial, los caracteres anteriores a cero se consideran el nombre de la variable de entorno y se omiten todos los caracteres posteriores.

Si value contiene un carácter cero hexadecimal no inicial, los caracteres anteriores a cero se asignan a la variable de entorno y se omiten todos los caracteres posteriores.

Si value está null (o está vacío en versiones anteriores a .NET 9) y la variable de entorno denominada por variable existe, se elimina la variable de entorno. value se considera vacío en cualquiera de las condiciones siguientes:

• Es String.Empty.
• Consta de un solo carácter cuyo valor es U+0000.

Si variable no existe, no se produce ningún error aunque no se puede realizar la operación. Tenga cuidado cuando target es Machine, ya que puede eliminar accidentalmente una variable de entorno que afecte a toda la máquina local, no solo el proceso o el usuario actuales.

EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine y EnvironmentVariableTarget.User en sistemas Windows

Si target es EnvironmentVariableTarget.User, la variable de entorno se almacena en la clave HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment del registro del equipo local. También se copia en instancias del Explorador de archivos que se ejecutan como el usuario actual. A continuación, la variable de entorno se hereda de los nuevos procesos que el usuario inicia desde el Explorador de archivos.

Del mismo modo, si target es EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine, la variable de entorno se almacena en la clave HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment del registro del equipo local. También se copia en todas las instancias del Explorador de archivos. A continuación, la variable de entorno la hereda cualquier proceso nuevo que se inicie desde el Explorador de archivos.

Si target es User o Machine, se notifica a otras aplicaciones la operación establecida mediante un mensaje de windows WM_SETTINGCHANGE.

Si target es EnvironmentVariableTarget.User o EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine, se recomienda que la longitud de value sea inferior a 2048 caracteres.
