   test9999->Close();
}

Console.Write("\nDelete newly created registry key? (Y/N) ");
if(Char.ToUpper(Convert.ToChar(Console.Read())) == 'Y')
{
    Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteSubKeyTree("Test9999");
    Console.WriteLine("\nRegistry key {0} deleted.",
        test9999.Name);
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("\nRegistry key {0} closed.",
        test9999.ToString());
    test9999.Close();
}
' Delete or close the new subkey.
Console.Write(vbCrLf & "Delete newly created " & _
    "registry key? (Y/N) ")
If Char.ToUpper(Convert.ToChar(Console.Read())) = "Y"C Then
    Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteSubKeyTree("Test9999")
    Console.WriteLine(vbCrLf & "Registry key {0} deleted.", _
        test9999.Name)
