RegReader

Description

This project was primarily made just so I could view the value of a Registry key without having to retype the string representation in RegEdit into Notepad++, but I guess it could be useful for other things. It can view strings, dwords, qwords, and binary.

How To Use

To read a Registry key, specify the path to it, then the name of the key itself, then the name of the value you want to read.

Otherwise:

• Path: The path to the Registry key, but don't include the actual name of the key you're reading in this.
  
• Key: The key you want to read.
  
• Value: The value you want to read from the key you specified.
  
• Read Key (Button): Uses Microsoft.Win32.Registry to read the key specified.
  • The different Registry values are STRING, BINARY, DWORD, and QWORD.
  • Each value type is tested against the type retrieved from the Registry value read using keyValue.GetType().
  • If it's a STRING, the value itself isn't processed.
    • e.g. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
  • If it's a BINARY, the value is returned as a byte[] and converted to a string of characters.
    • e.g. 48 65 6C 6C 6F 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 21 - translates to Hello World!
  • If it's a DWORD, the value is just a number displayed as a string
    • e.g. if 0x0000005, then it's displayed as 5
  • If it's a QWORD, the same thing as DWORD but with an L at the end to display a difference in the value type.
    • e.g. if 0x0000005, then it's displayed as 5L
