public void WriteToRegistry()
{
    // Create a registry instance
    RegEdit regEdit = new RegEdit(registryKey: Registry.CurrentUser);
    
    // Initialize the registry variables
    string registryPath = @"Software\YourOrganization\YourApplicationName\Settings";
    string registryParameter = "Theme";
    KnownColor registryValue = Color.Red.ToKnownColor();
    
    // Writing data to the register
    regEdit.Write(
        path: registryPath, 
        parameter: registryParameter, 
        value: registryValue
    );
}

Reading data

    // Create a registry instance
    RegEdit regEdit = new RegEdit(registryKey: Registry.CurrentUser);
    
    // Initialize the registry variables
    string registryPath = @"Software\YourOrganization\YourApplicationName\Settings";
    string registryParameter = "Theme";
    
    // Get the saved value
    var savedValue = regEdit.Read(

        parameter: registryParameter
    );
    
    Console.WriteLine(savedValue); // output color name for console application
    BackColor = Color.FromName((string)savedValue); // changing background color for WinForm application

    Console.WriteLine(regEdit.GetSubKeyCount(path: registryPath)); // Number of subsections for the specified section
    Console.WriteLine(regEdit.GetValueCount(path: registryPath)); // Number of values in the specified section
