Welcome to the documentation for the Program-Infos-Manager. This class library is specifically designed for all operating systems and serves a crucial purpose in retrieving and managing programs. By leveraging the Windows Registry, this library already provides an efficient and robust way to access, manipulate, and store program information in Windows. Though through its plugin system it can support any way of managing program information on any operating system.
- Plugin-Support: Through its design the library supports loading plugins in form of compiled .dll libraries to support custom ways to retrieve program information.
- Dependency-Injection: The library uses the singleton pattern in combination with dependency-injection to ensure correct plugin structure.
- Error Handling: Robust error handling mechanisms to ensure stability and reliability, even when dealing with inconsistent registry data.
- Compatibility and Performance: Optimized for Windows environments but also supporting other operating systems, ensuring compatibility and high performance.
The Library comes already with the Windows Registry Plugin
- Registry Data Extraction: Seamlessly extracts program information from various registry keys, especially focusing on installed program details.
- Class-Based Representation: Converts registry data into well-structured C# classes, making it easy to handle and manipulate program data within your applications.
This library is intended for developers and IT professionals who are working with applications that need to interact with the installed programs, especially for managing of program information. It abstracts the complexities of interactions and provides a simple yet powerful interface for managing program data.
