.config files in compact framework

[dwunz]

I'm developing an application for a Pocket PC Handheld computer. I would like to include path settings and such in a .config file...however, System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings is not available.
Has anyone done something like this? Any hints will be appreciated!!

.config files are nothing more than XML files. You can load them into a DOM using the System.XML namespace and read/write them.

I looked at that option...I was hoping there might be something similar to the INI files and getprivateprofilestring function of the earlier versions of VB. I suppose I could use the method you suggested, or stick to the INI file format and parse it into a collection if there aren't any new functions to replace the original. It's just disappointing that they chose to strip the appsettings capabilities from the compact framework.
