Registry.PerformanceData

Question

Hi

Does this field even exist?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.win32.registry.performancedata?view=netframework-4.0

Using the sample code provided I get nothing!

Also, OpenBaseKey applies to LocalMachine only?

The Definition section states LocalMachine only?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.win32.registrykey.openbasekey?view=netframework-4.0

Thanks :)

Hi @StewartBW ,

1. For the first sample, the document point out that "Note that this example can often return no results, since there might be no performance data."
2. The RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive hive, RegistryView view) method in the .NET Framework is not limited to the RegistryHive.LocalMachine hive. This method can be used to open any of the root registry keys defined in the RegistryHive enumeration, such as ClassesRoot, CurrentUser, LocalMachine, Users, and CurrentConfig.

Best Regards.
