Writing a DWORD registry value 1

[waughp]

Hey guys,

I am writting a program in VB.net that needs to set a dword value in the registry. However, it always writes it as a REG_SZ. Here is an example of the code I'm using:

If Me.NovellOptionsCB1.CheckState = CheckState.Checked Then
Dim regKey As RegistryKey
regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Novell\Login\", True)
regKey.SetValue("Workstation Only", "dword:1")
End If

Any ideas?

Thanks!

haha I got it! the value shouldn't be in quotes for a dword

i.e.

regkey.SetValue("Workstation Only", 1)

Thanks!
