Re: Registry

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The issue is that I have installed a number of apps off of the net that are
using the OpenNET CF and they install the dll's into the same directory as
the exe. The developer(s) must be manually adding the dll's to install into
the program directory in the cab file?

If I develop the application I could install the dll's into the GAC, but I
am talking about apps written by other developers.

Really? It seems to me that the OpenNETCF library comes with full source,
so if you want you can pull *just* the registry stuff out that you want,
and then it matches the FFx interface and is the same as what you'd come
up with if you did it yourself.

You're wrong on point #2 as well. OpenNETCF libraries install in the GAC,
so you get one and only one copy, even with multiple apps using them.

No, I don't recommend it. I cannot stand installing a simple app of the
net and also have it install a bunch of OpenCF dll's. I would rather
that the developer took the time and used the Win32 API registry calls.

If you install a number of 3rd party apps and they all use OpenCF then
you will end up with duplicate dll's scattered throughout your program
files directory, or device.

Last question : Is the OpenCf registry method the one people would
recommend ?

There are registry access classes in OpenNETCF's Smart Device
Framework, SDF. You can download it from www.opennetcf.org.

Pocketpc does have a registry.

Any number of ways to store data. Plain text file, XML, registry,
EDB, etc.

Am I correct in thinking the pocket pc has no registry and if so
whats the best practice for storing user config data thats enter
via a config screen ?

Thanks
