Object My.computer under CF 2.0

I'm developping an application which is supposed to play a music under my
pocketPC. For this development I'm using VS 2005 and compact framework 2.0
beta.
The problem is that the object "My.computer" is not available even if I
include the reference "Microsoft.VisualBasic" in my VS 2005 project.

Any clues???
 
..NETCF v2.0 has only a small subset of the My functionality in the full
framework - this means no My.Computer. However since this is more or less
just a wrapper around functionality found elsewhere in the framework (a kind
of speed dial), then you can probably just resort to using the underlying
functionality. For example My.Computer.FileSystem provides shortcuts into
functionality found in the System.Environment class and System.IO namespace.

My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(somePath)

is equivalent to:-

System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(somePath)
