INFO: Preparing Device for Connectivity in Smart Device Application for Visual Studio .NET (813558)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft .NET Compact Framework
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Professional Edition
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Enterprise Architect Edition
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Enterprise Developer Edition
SUMMARYDevices should be prepared to enable deployment and debugging
of a smart device application over a TCP/IP connection. This article describes how Visual
Studio .NET prepares the device and how to prepare a device with a security-enhanced method.MORE INFORMATIONHow Visual Studio .NET Prepares the DeviceWhen you run a .NET Compact
Framework application from Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio .NET deploys your application
and all the components that your application requires, including .NET Compact
Framework and Microsoft SQL Server CE. Visual Studio .NET checks the
target platform to confirm that .NET Compact Framework is
installed. If Visual Studio .NET does not find .NET Compact Framework, Visual Studio .NET automatically copies and installs .NET Compact Framework
before it runs your application. This installation process occurs
the first time that you try to run your application on a device and also after a
hard reset of the device.
Visual Studio .NET uses a similar process if your
application uses SQL Server CE. Visual Studio .NET checks the target
platform to confirm that the SQL Server CE components are installed. If Visual
Studio .NET does not find these components, Visual Studio .NET automatically copies and installs the
required SQL Server CE components before it runs your application.
After Visual Studio .NET determines that all the components that your
application requires are present, your application is copied to the target
platform, is placed in the directory that you specified in your project configurations,
and is opened.How to Prepare the Device with a Security-Enhanced MethodA device is prepared automatically when the device is first deployed and is connected to the computer over a USB
ActiveSync connection. You can also prepare the device
when ActiveSync is connected over a TCP/IP connection. However, an
invader can see the information that is shared between the desktop and the
device when ActiveSync is connected over a TCP/IP connection. For enhanced security, use a USB connection to prepare the device and to disconnect the ActiveSync TCP/IP
connection.
