Write into registry

[PROKA]

Ok so my code is :
[VB]
tempreg = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\my program", True)
tempreg.setvalue("Tries", TriesString)
[/code]

in a sub which handles mybase.closing

I get this error :

An unhandled exception of type System.NullReferenceException occurred in microsoft.visualbasic.dll

Additional information: Object variable or With block variable not set.

well, if I put the number "2" instead of "TriesString" I get the same error

Are you sure you have the path "Software\my program" in your registry, or the key "Tries"

I do not hink there could be another error about it...

Is tmpreg a RegistryKey type?

Also I prefer to open each subkey individually as it makes things clearer (to me at least):

RegistryKey tempreg = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software", True).CreateSubKey("my program")
            tempreg.setvalue("Tries", TriesString)

Also as you can see I use Open on the keys I know should be there and Create on the keys Im not sure of because the create will open the key if it exists, if it doesnt it will create it.
