Seting value based on set to registry

The goal of my situation/problem is I want to setValue of my getValue to a destination within the registry. I am not not too familiar with get/sets, so any help would be awesome. Let me know if you need anything else from me.

namespace RegistrySetter
{

public class Ironman : CodeActivity
{
    public InArgument<string> keypath { get; set; }
    public OutArgument<string> TextOut { get; set; }


    protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
    {
        string KeyPath = this.keypath.Get(context);

        context.SetValue<string>(this.TextOut, KeyPath);
    }

}

}

To get a registry value, you would probably use Registry.GetValue. The you just have to use the context to set the output argument.

An example:

using System;
using System.Activities;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using System.IO;

public class GetRegistryValue : CodeActivity
{
    [RequiredArgument]
    public InArgument<string> KeyPath { get; set; }
    public OutArgument<string> TextOut { get; set; }

    protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
    {
        string keyPath = this.KeyPath.Get(context);
        string keyName = Path.GetDirectoryName(keyPath);
        string valueName = Path.GetFileName(keyPath);
        object value = Registry.GetValue(keyName, valueName, "");
        context.SetValue(this.TextOut, value.ToString());
    }
}

Here KeyPath is something like: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Path where Path is actually the value name and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip is the key name. If you want to set a registry value look into Registry.SetValue.
