[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
Because the registry has its own set of data types, it is important to use a CIMOM data type that accurately reflects the registry data when making requests of the Registry Provider. . The following table lists the mapping between registry and CIMOM data types:
| Registry data type | CIMOM data type |
|---|---|
| REG_BINARY | BYTE array |
| REG_DWORD | Uint32 |
| REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ | String |
| REG_MULTI_SZ | String array |
| REG_RESOURCE_LIST | As appropriate (see Resource Descriptor Data) |
