Summary: Learn about remote API (RAPI) file operations and how to use the. NET Compact framework to integrate them into application development.
Introduction
In my last article, I introduced the case of mobile computing. In that article, I focused on the storage options for specific Pocket Access databases and how they were integrated into application development in the. NET Compact Framework.
In this article, we continue to talk about options. I will introduce you to the desktop side of the mobile operation, this view is often ignored by the beginners of mobile development. Many developers ' attention is attracted by the appearance of mobile applications, ignoring the question of how to make a desktop or server application part of a mobile solution. Obviously, most of a mobile solution is device-based, but almost all of the scenarios need to import or export data from the device at the end. This includes device-side data aggregation, data delivery from the server, construction of data, and smooth application updates. In this article, I'll demonstrate the remote API with a simple desktop program:
? SPAN style= "font:7pt ' Times New Roman '" > Copy or copy files from the device.
? SPAN style= "font:7pt ' Times New Roman '" > Files on mobile devices.
? SPAN style= "font:7pt ' Times New Roman '" > Deletes files on the device.
? SPAN style= "font:7pt ' Times New Roman '" > Starts an application on the device.
? SPAN style= "font:7pt ' Times New Roman '" > Get system Information for the device.
The beginning of the article and the example you will see are part of the "Two for Road" column, which will be displayed to Microsoft Visual c#®. NET and Visual basic®. NET.
