C# Help getting values from the registry

[AlTech]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get information from the registry and I can't seem to do so............

 

Here's the relevant code:

        object edition;
        object buildBranch;
        object CurrentBuild;
        object productName;
        object release;
        object productID;
        object owner;

  edition = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "EditionID", "Windows version not detected");
            buildBranch = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "BuildBranch", "Windows build branch not detected");
            CurrentBuild = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "CurrentBuildNumber", "Windows build number not detected");
            productName = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "ProductName", "Windows product name not detected");
            release = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "ReleaseID", "Windows release not detected");
            productID = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "ProductID", "Windows product ID not detected");
            owner = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "RegisteredOwner", "Windows owner not detected");         



releaseVersion.Text = Convert.ToString(release);
            osbuild.Text = Convert.ToString(CurrentBuild);
            releaseVersion.Text = Convert.ToString(release);
            branch.Text = Convert.ToString(buildBranch);
            ownerBox.Text = Convert.ToString(owner);

Thanks a bunch .

try

 

using (Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey key = 
       Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine
               .OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion"))
{
    var osVersion = key.GetValue("CurrentVersion");
}

You can also use Environment.OSVersion

 

Console.WriteLine("OSVersion: {0}", Environment.OSVersion.ToString());

environment.osversion doesn't return the correct value under Windows 10. It says 6.3 instead of 10.0

 

I'll try what you suggested when I'm at my desktop

@vorticalbox So I found the issue . I'm a little embarrassed.

 

The issue was a typo...........

 

edition = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "EditionID", "Windows version not detected");

	            buildBranch = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "BuildBranch", "Windows build branch not detected");

	            CurrentBuild = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "CurrentBuildNumber", "Windows build number not detected");

	            productName = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "ProductName", "Windows product name not detected");

	            release = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "ReleaseID", "Windows release not detected");

	            productID = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "ProductID", "Windows product ID not detected");

	            owner = Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "RegisteredOwner", "Windows owner not detected");           [/Code]
