I am developing VSTO Word plugin project. When I build the project, it automatically creates 4 registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Registry
location and those are as under.
Name Type Data
-------------- -------------- ------------------------
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
Description REG_SZ My.Registry
FriendlyName REG_SZ My.Registry
LoadBehavior REG_DWORD 0x00000003 (3)
Manifest REG_SZ file:///D:/LearningProject/My.Registry/bin/debug/My.Registry.vsto|vstolocal
Now I want to add anther registry at same path with different key value pair. I do not know how this registries are being generated. So that I cannot make my custom registry along with these existing registries.
Need guidance.
Since you are building the projcect and it adds those values, maybe check under the prebuild/postbuild events in Visual studio
If that is not the case, you might need to do a simple registry entry on startup of the application
public static bool WriteRegistryValue<T>(RegistryHive hive, string key, string value, RegistryValueKind kind, T data)
{
bool success = false;
using (RegistryKey baseKey = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(hive, String.Empty))
{
if (baseKey != null)
{
using (RegistryKey registryKey = baseKey.OpenSubKey(key, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree))
{
if (registryKey == null)
{
using (RegistryKey createdRegistryKey = baseKey.CreateSubKey(key, true))
{
registryKey.SetValue(value, data as string);
}
}
else
{
registryKey.SetValue(value, data as string);
}
success = true;
}
}
}
return success;
}
