I am trying to create an about box using C#. I want it to read in the program data as much as possible from the registry. For example I want Application Title - figured out
Description - not sure how to do, maybe just manually enter into code?
Version - figured out
Build Date - figured out
Copyright/Company - not sure how to do

The ones I already got I used the assembly/reflection/win32 libraries.

Thanks for any help!

Why store this info in the registry? Why not store it in the resource file that gets compiled into your app?

I agree with Chip. A lot of C++ Developers rely on the registry for holding variables but its so unnecessary - and now adays, often bad practice.
