How to create a windows registry watcher application using .Net,

I want this application to watch all the registry hocks and fire an event when a value change, this event will tell the old and new value for that value.

Thats possible? how? need just the idea or where to start

Answer 1

Take a look at RegistryMonitor - a .NET wrapper class for RegNotifyChangeKeyValue.

Answer 2

This looks like a good place to start. There is a WMI class for the registry.

Answer 3

.Net framework does not contain embedded class to watch the registry. But you still can use wrapped WinAPI calls or WMI interface (see example)
