Monitor changes to the registry

Question

Are there any classes in .net I can use to monitor any change to a value in the registry, similar to how FileSystemWatcher works.

So if the value is changed, an event is raised.

Or any other suggestions to do this would be helpful.

Answer 1

Not sure if there is a built in function for this, but you can easily create your own by using a timer, checking the value of a key, remembering that value, and comparing it again during the next tick and see if the value is different.
