C# - How can I get data from a registry key by a button.Name or button.Text?

Question

I am creating an app in C# and want to load a registry key that the name is equal to the button.Name (or button.Text if not possible). Can someone illuminate me how to do this please?

public OptionsForm(Button btn)

{
// RegBtnName = Registry key
// RegBtnLink = Registry Key
// btnX = button
btnX = btn;
// AppName = Textbox
AppName.Text = Registry.GetValue(RegBtnName,Convert.ToString(btnX.Name),"Not Found");
// AppDir = TextBox
AppDir.Text = Registry.GetValue(RegBtnLink,Convert.ToString(btnX.Name),"Not Found");

InitializeComponent();

}

This is kind of asking, what you want to show in a MessageBox , you have typed in a textbox. Button.Name or Button.Text returns a string that your can read using Registry class. — Rohit Prakash, Jan 20 '15 at 09:58

you can use -

 string keyName = btn.Name;

 var value = Registry.GetValue(keyName, 
        "NoSuchName",
        "Return this default if NoSuchName does not exist.");

 MessageBox.Show(value.ToString());
