Loop through all registry values in a RegistryKey (recursion)

i need looping recursively through registrykey (in case, it's registry.localmachine) , values present in registrykey (again, in test example it's registry.localmachine). well, @ least 1 available accessed , wouldn't throw security exceptions.

have no idea how proceed this. best have (doesn't work):

             public void outputregkey(registrykey key)
            {
                  foreach (string keyname in key.getsubkeynames())
                 {
                     try
                    {
                         using (registrykey key2 = key.opensubkey(keyname))
                         {
                              foreach (string valuename in key.getvaluenames())
                             {
                                  combobox1.items.add(valuename);
                                  outputregkey(key2);
                             }
                          }
                    }
                    catch
                   {

                   }
              }
        }

p.s.: not homework assigned do; it's want learn do, attempts have ended in failure.

hi laura,

you should add registry.users field that contains information default user configuration. field reads windows registry base key hkey_users.

private void getsubkeys(registrykey subkey) {     foreach(string sub in subkey.getsubkeynames())     {       messagebox.show(sub);       registrykey local = registry.users;       local = subkey.opensubkey(sub,true);       getsubkeys(local); // recalling itselfit makes sure subkey names     } }  //this how call recursive function getsubkeys registrykey ourkey = registry.users; ourkey = ourkey.opensubkey(@".default\test",true); getsubkeys(ourkey);

best regards,

kristin
