Remarks

If at this key several values are stored, this property will return the first item. To return all the items, use GetItemArray(Object) method.

If you need to extract a string representation of this item, you should use GetItemString(Object) method. For those items which returns a enumeration value, it will return human-friendly string instead of the number.
