I'm writing programs in C# & C++ that run on a custom Windows CE 5 and 6 device. I have followed the instructions on how to connect to a CE device on Microsoft's site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228708(v=vs.80).aspx), and things work fine with DevStudio and with the remote tools.
I am dissatisfied with the remote tools, however. So I would like to write some better ones. For sample, a command-line tool to copy *.dll to a directory on the device, which doesn't say "are you sure you want to overwrite that file?" for each one.
Does anyone know what protocol / API one uses to connect to the device using TCP/IP, here? And/or can point me to a code example?
The CoreCon APIs provide a mechanism to do this. The VSD team blogged a 5-part example of creating your own file viewer using the APIs some time back.
