How to determine device manufacturer/hardware

[Guest]

Hello...

Is there a way to read the registry on the device and determine what the
device or manufacturer is? I tried using the Registry stuff with openNetCF
and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I don't know if this is an
issue with the hardware or the OpenNet function.

Is there another solution for this?

thanks

No, there is no standard registry info for that. The appropriate mechanism
is to use
SystemParamatersInfo(SPI_OEMINFO,...)

Thanks for the suggestion. I just found an article that describes a function
for handling this using the SystemParametersInfo and SPI_GetOEMInfo
