Type 'RegistryKey' is not defined...

[MrBridger]

Hi all,

I am new to VisualStudio.NET/Visual Basic and I'm trying to read/write values to the Windows Registry. However when I put the following code into my Form I get the above error message (in the Subject of this thread). The "RegistryKey" type is well documented but when I run the program I get the error. Also I have added a reference to the RegistryKey class.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Public Class RegMod
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Private Sub main()
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser
RegKey = RegKey.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\&quot
Dim val As Object = RegKey.GetValue("VendorIdentifier&quot
Console.WriteLine("The central processor of this machine is:" + val)
End Sub
End Class
============================================================

You need to import the Microsoft.Win32 namespace into your module in order to reference the Registry class.

Put the following at the very top of your module code:

Imports Microsoft.Win32
