Question Set Binary Registry value

[sorry2culose]

I am working on a vb.net project where I am trying to set a registry value to set the Internet Explorer Proxy server and exceptions for all connections. I am able to do the string registry keys but have been unable to get the binary keys to set. I have the Registry key exported that I need "merged", but I am not sure how to code setting the binary key.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click

        My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "Connections", "[binary value]", RegistryValueKind.Binary)

        Application.DoEvents()


    End Sub

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the registry values that I am trying to set...

Binary data is represented using a Byte array in VB.NET. You need to assign a Byte array as the value.
