JWindowsSettings 26.7.0

JWindowsSettings

JWindowsSettings is a .NET Standard 2.0 library that provides utilities for working with Windows-specific configuration and settings from managed code. It is intended to be used as a portable helper library from applications and services that need to read, modify, or apply Windows configuration values while remaining compatible with multiple .NET runtimes.

Key points

• Targets: .NET Standard 2.0 (compatible with .NET Framework, .NET Core, and modern .NET)
• Purpose: lightweight helpers and wrappers for common Windows settings tasks

Features (example)

• Read and write configuration values (registry, configuration files, or app settings)
• Helpers to validate and apply common Windows options
• Small, dependency-free core so it can be consumed by desktop and service apps

Note: This README is intentionally generic. Update the sections below to reflect the actual APIs and usage in this repository.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2022 or later (Visual Studio 2026 is supported)
• .NET SDK that supports .NET Standard 2.0

Build

1. Open the solution JWindowsSettings.slnx in Visual Studio.
2. Restore NuGet packages (Build → Restore NuGet Packages).
3. Build the solution (Build → Build Solution).

Or from the command line (PowerShell):

dotnet build JWindowsSettings.slnx

Usage

Add a project reference to the JWindowsSettings project or reference the compiled library (DLL) from your application. Example (C#):

// ...example usage - replace with actual API once implemented
using JWindowsSettings;

var settings = new WindowsSettings();
settings.Load();
var value = settings.Get("SomeKey");
settings.Set("SomeKey", "newValue");
settings.Apply();

Replace the example above with real types and methods from this project.
