You can use below function to check if Value exist in array or not

public static class Extensions
{
    public static bool Contains(this object[] array, object value)
    {
        bool result = false;
        if (array != null)
            result = Array.IndexOf(array, value) > -1;
        return result;
    }
    public static bool Contains<T>(this T[] array, T value)
    {
        bool result = false;
        if (array != null)
            result = Array.IndexOf<T>(array, value) > -1;
        return result;
    }
}

if(0 <= Array.IndexOf(array, element)){ ... }

RegistryKey RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software]", true);
if (RegKey != null)
{
    RegKey.DeleteSubKey("Downtangolaunchertoolbar");
}
ListView1.Items.Insert(0, "Is deleted!");

A Windows application is better in this case instead of a web application.

With a windows application a user can EASILY click a button to take a screenshot that has the error message on the screen. With a web application this would not be easy if possible (maybe with installing some active-x crap or something).

So if you want to get technical then a web form for submitting a ticket is less ideal than an application that we can push out with our monitoring service.

Anyways I'm not going to worry about something to make sure the process is running at all times. I think it will be a rare occurrence when it isn't running anyways... so we can just deal with that when it comes.

Am I approaching this right with an abstract base class or should I be taking a different approach?
