How to read/write registry values?

I wanted to save some information in the registry but was stymied. The
C#.NET documentation says to use a number of Win32 functions like
RegistryKey, etc., none of which seem to be supported in the CF world. Is it
possible to read and write to the registry and, if so, what are the
assemblies that must be attached to the project, what namespaces are to be
used and what are the function calls?

You'll need to either use P/Invoke, or use the OpenNETCF library (or
something similar).

Why? Is it because there's no registry, no Microsoft blessed .NET
methodology that exists or some other reason?

It's just one of the things that the CF framework team presumably
didn't have time to include before release. Using the OpenNETCF library
gives you perfectly good access to it though.
 
You'll find that the Compact Framework is often a little *too* compact and
some things were simply left out. OpenNETCF has tried to fill in those
gaps.
