Why does registryKey.GetValue still read the old value after I changed the rgistry with rege…

So I access the registry value with this code:

Dim dm2 As RegistryKey
Dim dm2Value As String = 0

dm2 = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey('SoftwareLibralexDM')
If dm2 IsNot Nothing Then
dm2Value = DirectCast(dm2.GetValue('DM2'), String)
End If


Originally I had '1' stored as the value under DM2, and it worked fine :) So then I closed the program and changed the value of DM2 to '2' with regedit.exe, but I kept getting '1' from dm2.getValue :( I thought maybe restarting would fix the problem, but then I still got a '1' from dm2.GetValue while regedit.exe told me I have a 2 stored there.

What am I doing wrong?
