Hi,

Is there a way to read from and write to the registry using the Compact
Framework? Or is the only way to access the registry by writing unmanaged
code? It seems that the full Framework has a Microsoft.Win32 namespace has
Registry and RegistryKey classes to do this. Is there an equivalent in CF?

Thank you!
Young.
 
Visual Studio .NET does not ship with a remote registry editor for Windows
CE. To set the registry key you can use one of the following:

- Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools Remote Registry Editor
- Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder Remote Registry Editor
- PHM Pocket PC Registry Editor (Shareware, can be found easily on the web)

I have personally used the first and it is pretty simple to use.
