Examples

Remarks

HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA is used to access performance information for software components. Each software component creates keys for its objects and counters when it is installed and writes counter data while it is executing. This data is not stored in the registry, although the registry is used to access it. Instead, calling registry functions via HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA causes the system to collect the data from the appropriate system object managers.

This key cannot normally be written to; attempting to create a subkey on it will throw an IOException.

The RegistryPermission class, which is in the System.Security.Permissions namespace, controls access to registry variables. Registry variables should not be stored in memory locations where code without RegistryPermission can access them. Similarly, when granting permissions, grant the fewest privileges necessary to get the job done.

Registry permission access values are defined by the RegistryPermissionAccess enumeration. The following table details its members.

Value	Description
AllAccess	Create, read, and write access to registry variables.
Create	Create access to registry variables.
NoAccess	No access to registry variables.
Read	Read access to registry variables.
Write	Write access to registry variables.
