Can any one put me a piece of code to write binary data into Registry?

Can any one put me a piece of code to write binary data into Registry?
I don't have a piece of C# code at hand as I'm not at home, but I believe
the technique is fairly simple:
1) Reference the Registry object in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace
2) Create the subkey (if it doesn't already exist) where the binary value
will reside
3) Convert the value to be stored into a byte array
4) Call the SetValue method of the Registry object
The following is a VB.NET example which you should be able to modify easily
for C#:
Dim rk As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
rk = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("Software\Test")
Dim b() As Byte = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
rk.SetValue("A Value", b)
HTH.

This make sense. But I would like to put an image data into the registry.
For example, I have a Add-In and I have it's AboutBoxIcon and I am trying to change the Icon depending on some logic.
Wt could be the best way to do it?

Saradhi,
In this case, I would generate separate named values for each icon and
then use the logic to determine which key to access.
Also, have you considered using resources for storing this information?
It's a little more suited, IMO, for this kind of thing.
Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use the Registry for this, at least, not to store the actual
icon. Instead, I would keep the various icons in a subfolder somewhere on
the machine in question - if your code can read the Registry, it can also
read the file system - and then determine which one to use as required.
The Registry is designed for (and best suited to) storing lots of little
bits of information, not as a substitute for the file system

This really constitutes abuse of the registry. Part of the reason Windows
is so flakey is because of morons using it as a database.

The .NET method of storing such data would be by using resources. Consider going thru those lines.

Its not abuse.
You misunderstood my requirements.
I would like to load my Add-In only in certain situations and I am opening the Visual Studio.NET IDE from my application and whenever the user opens the VS IDE, my add-in got to be loaded.
The only thing you need to do is to add information to the REgistry in the sessions AddIns and VS.NET IDE automatically opens your Add-In as it takes the info from the registry and hence our add-in will be loaded automatically.
We have the following info to be loaded :
AboutBoxDetails,AboutBoxIcon,CommandPreload,FriendlyName,Description, LoadBehavior , CommandLineSafe, CommandPreload
No harm if you wont specify the icon for your Add-In AboutBox, but its always recomendable if you can choose one if MS gave you the permission.
I never mentioned anywhere that I am using Registry as a substituion for File System.
