Rectangle to registry

[Michael Wong]

Hi,

I am new to C# and would like to store a Rectangle structure to the
registry, using the following syntax:

reg.SetValue(szRectangle,rect);

but then I don't know how to retrieve the stored information to a Rectangle
again.

rect = reg.GetValue(szRectangle,rect);

Any idea?

I am new to C# and would like to store a Rectangle structure to the
registry, using the following syntax:

reg.SetValue(szRectangle,rect);

I'm surprised that works at all, if it does.

but then I don't know how to retrieve the stored information to a Rectangle
again.

rect = reg.GetValue(szRectangle,rect);

Any idea?

The registry can't store arbitrary objects. I suggest you store the top
left and bottom right points as a pair of DWORD values each.

Thanks Jon,

I'll do it this way then.

Derive a class from rectangle, e.g.
public class RegableRect : Rectangle
{
public static RegableRect GetFromReg()
{
....//(implement Jon' s suggestion here
}
public void SaveToReg()
{
...// "" ""
}
}
