Greetings,

The FAQ has undergone the first of many periodic updates. In addition to a
few code corrections, newly added items are listed below:

1.23. What are all of these ARM binaries?

1.24. How do I write to the registry on a device?

4.10. I have a Smart Device form with a lot of controls. Why do I get a
"NotSupportedException" at runtime?

4.11. What is the proper method to close a form: Application.Exit or
Form.Close?

6.10. What are the limitations on marshalling types via P/Invoke?

6.11. Why do I get odd return codes when I P/Invoke to GetLastError?

6.12. Is there a limit on the number of arguments I can pass to a native
function?

6.13. Why do I get a "NotSupportedException" when I P/Invoke to a native
function?

6.14. How do I convert a byte[] to an IntPtr?

7.27. How do I get the "Enter", "TAB", and "Arrow" key press events?

7.28. How do I delete a read-only file?
