Compact >> find out device neme of a pocket pc Thank you, but that is not what I wanted to know.
I want to find out the name of the connected device by using the RAPI
functions searching within the registry of the device.

There is a function I used in VB6:

Declare Function CeRegOpenKeyEx Lib "rapi.dll" ( _
ByVal hkey As Long, _
ByVal lpSubKey As Long, _
ByVal ulOptions As Long, _
ByVal samDesired As Long, _
phkResult As Long) As Long

but it seems not to work properly in VB.Net

Any idea?

Thanks Werner

CeRapiInit or any clue about a return code....

Compact >> find out device neme of a pocket pc Well, it's much easier than I thought:

System.Net.Dns.GetHostName.ToString()

I wanted to adapt a VB6 code, that was the problem.

Thanks Werner
