Saving Data Displayed in the Remote Tools Shell (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
When you collect data from running a plug-in in the Remote Tools Shell, you can choose to save the data to an .rtfxdata file for later use. This file uses an XML format that contains a string-based representation of the data displayed in the main tool window. The plug-in must specify how the data that it generates is saved to the .rtfxdata file.
For information about how to implement a method for saving the data that your plug-in generates, see the Microsoft.RemoteToolSdk.PluginComponents.PluginData.OnRenderGeneric method in the Remote Tools Framework Native API.
To save data displayed in the main tool window
In the main tool window, select one of the following two items.
- A node from a plug-in that is currently running and generating data
- The Live Data node
To save the selected data as a file, from the File menu, select Save.
The saved data file contains the currently shown data. If a plug-in node has not yet been displayed, the act of saving data refreshes that node to obtain the latest data for the node. If the plug-in is currently disconnected, the plug-in nodes that are not showing any data will not generate any data because the nodes cannot be refreshed.
