Connecting to WinCE Device from Visual Studio

Question

I have a WinCE device. Is it possible to connect to the device from visual studio to view the following

Folder structure. 
Applications running. 
Registry values         


        

Answer 1

If the OEM have included Activesync support you should be able to connect it via USB (assuming the device has USB) and see the device in the Windows Mobile Device Centre. You may also need to install OEM specific USB drivers. If no USB you may be able to Activesync over Bluetooth or Infra-red.

You can see folder structure through Mobile Device Centre. Visual Studio (up to 2008) includes the Remote Registry Editor and the Remote Process Viewer, which should get you the rest.
