Registry clean

[swapna chappidi]

Hi,

Does anyone how to clean start an apllication with its default registry values?

To make it clearer, I start an application with its default registry setting in NUnit. I make few changes and teh default registry values get changed and the application starts with the changed registry values.

Is there any way that I could start reset all the registry values for the application before starting the application using NUnit?

Ideally, your tests should not change registry values at all. Rather,
you should provide
an interface to the registry, which you can fake when you run your
tests. Another
useful technique is to inject the registry values into your class,
pushing the access
to the registry to a higher level.

However, if you are already setting registry values, I suggest you
change them in
an appropriate level of setup, saving the original values. Then set them back
as they were in teardown.

A final technique, which I recommend, is to use an entirely different key for
the registry when running tests.
