Writing the registry

[Jeff Jeff]

Hello all,

I m trying to write a little Winforms app to tweak WM6 registry.
I have no problem to read registry, but i m not able to write on it.

I get "Error on Rapi: 5" which is not very helpful.

I m using : Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Rapi;

and here is the code i use :

private void cmdUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
Device objDevice = objRapiManager.Devices[cboDevices.SelectedIndex];

CERegistryKey objRegistryKey = CERegistry.CurrentUser(objDevice.Session);
objRegistryKey = objRegistryKey.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu");

objRegistryKey.SetValue("GridView", "1");
objRegistryKey.Close();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}

Thanks alot for your help.

Best regards

Jeff

Try using the overloaded method for OpenSubKey

objRegistryKey.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu", true);

The second parameter indicates that the key is writable.

this error :

Error 1 No overload for method 'OpenSubKey' takes '2' arguments

Hi,

I think it is a security problem; you are not authorized to write this
key via RAPI. You must change the level of the RAPI policy.

Hello Fabien,


Thanks for the clue.
In fact spv must be "designer" to be able to write the registry by rapi.

Now it works fine.

Thanks alot for your time.
