Remarks

You can use platform invoke on the native RegCreateKeyEx Windows function to obtain a SafeRegistryHandle object, and then use it to create registry keys with the RegistryKey.FromHandle method.

Important

This type implements the IDisposable interface. When you have finished using the type, you should dispose of it either directly or indirectly. To dispose of the type directly, call its Dispose method in a try/catch block. To dispose of it indirectly, use a language construct such as using (in C#) or Using (in Visual Basic). For more information, see the "Using an Object that Implements IDisposable" section in the IDisposable interface topic.

Constructors

SafeRegistryHandle()	Creates a SafeRegistryHandle.
SafeRegistryHandle(IntPtr, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the SafeRegistryHandle class.

Fields

handle

Specifies the handle to be wrapped.

(Inherited from SafeHandle)

Properties

IsClosed	Gets a value indicating whether the handle is closed. (Inherited from SafeHandle)
IsInvalid	Gets a value that indicates whether the handle is invalid.
IsInvalid	Gets a value that indicates whether the handle is invalid. (Inherited from SafeHandleZeroOrMinusOneIsInvalid)
