Registry .NET / CE device

[dtdev]

Hi,

Im working on a mobile-device, where i apparently need to use opennetCF to
access the registry ? im doing my own configurator, and my first intention
was to read & write all variables in the registry.

Instead, im now considering to use simple files instead because i would like
to be independant from opennetcf - but do any of you have any alternatives
or better ideas for me how to do it in C# ?

Thanks,

If you're doing practically any serious Compact Framework development,
you're almost *bound* to need OpenNETCF. The sooner you open yourself
to using it, the easier life will be.

Seriously, I'd recommend just biting the bullet and using it.

Btw, a better place for Compact Framework questions is usually
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework .

Hi,

It depends of what you want need,

I started a system before opennetcf was available ( or that I knew of ) and
I had to create a config of my own.
You could use something as simple as a Hashtable and store it in a text file
in the form var_name=value

Not using some of the opennetcf is silly, if the code you need is there and
is written why not use it?
I use several features from it.

cheers,

thanks, well i am fairly new to this so i wasnt sure that Opennet was
something that i should rely on - but thanks to you guys, im going for it.

Do you know if its possible to export a segment of the registry into a file
via C# ? and ultimately import it as well later on ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

It's free code AFAIK , you can take the piece that you need, import it in
your project as another class and voila

Nop, Don't know ifyou can export it, as Jon suggested you should check
either in opennetcf.org or inthe CF NG

cheers,
