I am trying to use System.IO.Compression in a compact framework 2.0 project. according to MSDN this should be available. Yet i only seem to have System.IO and System.IO.Ports. is there any reason as to why I can't access Compression is it not supported

You can try SharpZipLib http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Download.aspx
The 12/2006 release notes indicate that there were changes for the Compact Framework. I'm using selected classes from an older version of the library that I had made NETCF compatible.

No, it's not supported, apparently a documentation bug. However, it looks like class members are marked correctly. If you open, say, DeflateStream class members, none of them are marked as available on devices.
