Opening a notepad file

This is my first attempt ever at a program in C#. Here's what I have so far:

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. using System;
  2. using Microsoft.Win32;
  3.  
  4. class reg
  5. {
  6. static void Main()
  7. {
  8. RegistryKey hklm =Registry.LocalMachine;
  9. hklm=hklm.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
  10. Object obp=hklm.GetValue("Identifier");
  11. Console.WriteLine("Processor Identifier:{0}",obp);
  12.  
  13. RegistryKey hklp =Registry.LocalMachine;
  14. hklp=hklp.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
  15. Object obc=hklp.GetValue("VendorIdentifier");
  16. Console.WriteLine("Vendor Identifier:{0}",obc);
  17.  
  18. RegistryKey biosv =Registry.LocalMachine;
  19. biosv=biosv.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\MultiFunctionAdapter\\4");
  20. Object obv=biosv.GetValue("Identifier");
  21. Console.WriteLine("Bios Status:{0}",obv);
  22.  
  23. RegistryKey biosd =Registry.LocalMachine;
  24. biosd=biosd.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
  25. Object obd=biosd.GetValue("SystemBiosDate");
  26. Console.WriteLine("Bios Date:{0}",obd);
  27.  
  28. RegistryKey bios =Registry.LocalMachine;
  29. bios=bios.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
  30. Object obs=bios.GetValue("Identifier");
  31. Console.WriteLine("System Identifer:{0}",obs);
  32.  
  33. string x = Console.ReadLine();
  34. }
  35. }

I want this program to grab these registry keys and place them into a notepad file. Right now all it does is open a dos window and place them in there. How can I go about getting them to open notepad and place them in there?

Here is a small windows application that I threw together. It is just a modification of your code. It saves each value into the text file. Then opens it in notepad.

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. using System;
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;
  3. using System.ComponentModel;
  4. using System.Data;
  5. using System.Drawing;
  6. using System.Text;
  7. using System.Windows.Forms;
  8. using System.Diagnostics;
  9. using System.IO;
  10. using Microsoft.Win32;
  11.  
  12. namespace NP_TEST
  13. {
  14.     public partial class Form1 : Form
  15.     {
  16.         StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("C:\\SysInfo");
  17.         public Form1()
  18.         {
  19.             InitializeComponent();
  20.             RegistryKey hklm = Registry.LocalMachine;
  21.             hklm = hklm.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
  22.             Object obp = hklm.GetValue("Identifier");
  23.             sw.WriteLine("Processor Identifier: " + obp);
  24.  
  25.             RegistryKey hklp = Registry.LocalMachine;
  26.             hklp = hklp.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
  27.             Object obc = hklp.GetValue("VendorIdentifier");
  28.             sw.WriteLine("Vendor Identifier: ", obc);
  29.  
  30.             RegistryKey biosv = Registry.LocalMachine;
  31.             biosv = biosv.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\MultiFunctionAdapter\\4");
  32.             Object obv = biosv.GetValue("Identifier");
  33.             sw.WriteLine("Bios Status: ", obv);
  34.  
  35.             RegistryKey biosd = Registry.LocalMachine;
  36.             biosd = biosd.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
  37.             Object obd = biosd.GetValue("SystemBiosDate");
  38.             sw.WriteLine("Bios Date: ", obd);
  39.  
  40.             RegistryKey bios = Registry.LocalMachine;
  41.             bios = bios.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
  42.             Object obs = bios.GetValue("Identifier");
  43.             sw.WriteLine("System Identifer:{0}", obs);
  44.             sw.Close();
  45.  
  46.             Process notePad = new Process();
  47.             notePad.StartInfo.FileName = "notepad.exe";
  48.             notePad.StartInfo.Arguments = "C:\\SysInfo";
  49.             notePad.Start();
  50.         }
  51.     }
  52. }

I hope thats what you meant.

That's exactly what I need, but apparently you have a form created with yours and that's what's confusing me.

Then just use this code.

RegistryKey hklm = Registry.LocalMachine;
hklm = hklm.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obp = hklm.GetValue("Identifier");
sw.WriteLine("Processor Identifier: " + obp);

RegistryKey hklp = Registry.LocalMachine;
hklp = hklp.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0");
Object obc = hklp.GetValue("VendorIdentifier");
sw.WriteLine("Vendor Identifier: ", obc);

RegistryKey biosv = Registry.LocalMachine;
biosv = biosv.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\MultiFunctionAdapter\\4");
Object obv = biosv.GetValue("Identifier");
sw.WriteLine("Bios Status: ", obv);

RegistryKey biosd = Registry.LocalMachine;
biosd = biosd.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obd = biosd.GetValue("SystemBiosDate");
sw.WriteLine("Bios Date: ", obd);

RegistryKey bios = Registry.LocalMachine;
bios = bios.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object obs = bios.GetValue("Identifier");
sw.WriteLine("System Identifer:{0}", obs);
sw.Close();

Process notePad = new Process();
notePad.StartInfo.FileName = "notepad.exe";
notePad.StartInfo.Arguments = "C:\\SysInfo";
notePad.Start();
Thats all you need.
