    Saving settings for application on pocket pc

    Hi,

    I'm developing an application for pocket pc and I want to store some user settings.
    What would be the best way to do it?
    Registry, ini-file or something else?

    Also, I've searched for examples on how to read and write to the registry on a pocket pc, but couldn't find much info.
    I'm developing in C# using Visual Studio 2008.

    Cheers
    I code C#....

    Hey,

    The .Net Compact Framework doesn't support the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager Class, so you can't do it the way that you normally would on the desktop, but there is nothing to stop you creating your own version of it, for instance here.

    Hope this helps!!
