Connection Service Provider Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
In Windows Embedded Compact, you can implement Connection Manager to create different types of network connections by using a Connection Service Provider for each connection type, such as Wi-Fi or a virtual private network (VPN).
Connection Manager uses Connection Service Providers to do the following:
- Add, delete, or update connection configurations.
- Connect and disconnect connections.
- Query status and receive change notifications for connection state, network type, and characteristic.
