Modifying Data Sent Between Desktop and Device Components (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

After using the Remote Tools Framework Plug-in Wizard to create a plug-in project, you can choose to modify the data that the device-side and desktop-side components send to each other when connected.

The modifications that you can make depend on the plug-in's communication mode and the components' code type, either managed or native.

Plug-ins based on the Remote Tools Framework use two communication modes, asynchronous and synchronous. In asynchronous mode, the device-side component runs code while it is idle, and it allows the device-side application to send a command packet to the desktop-side component at any time. In synchronous mode, the device-side component runs code only when the desktop-side component sends a request.

The implementation that you choose for the data you want to gather from the target device depends on whether the device-side component uses managed or native code. In addition, to gather data from the target device, you must modify the desktop-side component.

For information about the modifications that you need to make, review the topic applicable to your plug-in and its associated components.
