Hello,

I need to read/write to the registry of a mobile device to access program
settings.

Should I access these register settings only on startup and during
modifications to the settings or is there a performance advantage to read
directly to/from the registry whenever this information is needed?

Thanks for advice.

It doesn't matter when you read the info. CF 2.0 already has a full set of
functions that mirror the desktop classes. For CF 1.0, the SDF provides the
same.
 
I'm able to write and read to/from the registry. I was just wondering if
it's good programming practice to open up the registry and read values, then
close the registry on a semi-regular basis. Or should I move the registry
value to a new variable that would be used. Of course, I'm new at registry
use.

It really makes no difference.
