.NET 2005 & the Registry

[Guest]

So, is there Microsoft support for accessing the registry in .Net 2005? When
I go to the help and filter on "Smart Device Development", I get a help entry
for the Registry class in the namespace Microsoft.Win32. The namespace is
not available in compact framework projects.

Also, the last time I checked, OpenNETCF didn't have a build of their
library for .Net 2005 yet either. Are there any workable options for .Net
2005 at this time?

The code would be the same in either case, so just grab the registry class
source from OpenNETCF and build it into your project. I don't think that it
has many dependencies...

It is available - in .NETCF v2.0 projects. If you are working on a v1.0
project e.g. for Smartphone 2003 you won't have access to it. It's in the
Microsoft.Win32 namespace and part of mscorlib.dll
