Not sure this is the right place to post this but anyway...
In the documentation for the
RegistryKeyelement, it mentions:But it doesn't mention that the
KeyPathattribute is found onRegistryValueelements and others likeFileandComponent. Might be helpful to hotlink directly to that on the other element's page for those not familiar. Or at least adjust it to say something like this (or whichever element it actually means):What makes it more confusing is when searching for the "KeyPath" property, there are lots of results so it's not immediately clear what the mention of KeyPath is referring to. I also just realized the
ComponentandFileelements also have aKeyPathattribute, so I'm still not actually 100% certain that it's not referring to one of those. It just says "the" keypath attribute.Another Edit: Just noticed that the docs for the
KeyPathattribute on theRegistryValueelement specifically have this helpful note, which is probably worth including on all other instances too, like File, etc:Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
