Please add some!

Sample Code:

uint key;
uint ret;

int lpType = new int();
byte[] lpData = new Byte[256];
int lpcbData = lpData.Length;

ret = CeRegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software\\TestApp\\Settings",0,0x1,out key);

if(ret == 0)
{
    ret = CeRegQueryValueEx(key,"MyKey",0,ref lpType, lpData, ref lpcbData);

    if(ret == 0)
    {
        // success, your data in in lpData to be converted
    }
}

CeRegCloseKey(key);
