public:
cli::array <System::String ^> ^ GetSubKeyNames();
public string[] GetSubKeyNames ();
member this.GetSubKeyNames : unit -> string[]
Public Function GetSubKeyNames () As String()
An array of strings that contains the names of the subkeys for the current key.
The user does not have the permissions required to read from the key.
The RegistryKey being manipulated is closed (closed keys cannot be accessed).
The user does not have the necessary registry rights.
A system error occurred, for example the current key has been deleted.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the RegistryKey class.
// Print the information from the Test9999 subkey.
Console::WriteLine( "There are {0} subkeys under Test9999.", test9999->SubKeyCount.ToString() );
array<String^>^subKeyNames = test9999->GetSubKeyNames();
for ( int i = 0; i < subKeyNames->Length; i++ )
{
RegistryKey ^ tempKey = test9999->OpenSubKey( subKeyNames[ i ] );
Console::WriteLine( "\nThere are {0} values for {1}.", tempKey->ValueCount.ToString(), tempKey->Name );
array<String^>^valueNames = tempKey->GetValueNames();
for ( int j = 0; j < valueNames->Length; j++ )
{
Console::WriteLine( "{0,-8}: {1}", valueNames[ j ], tempKey->GetValue( valueNames[ j ] )->ToString() );
}
}
// Print the information from the Test9999 subkey.
