Creating Service Description Documents (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Each service that a device provides and lists in its device description document must have its own service description document.

Like device description documents, service description documents are XML documents that follow a schema standardized by the UPnP Forum. The service description document lists the actions and state variables exposed by the particular service. In doing so, it defines the interface that control points can use to control and receive information from the device.

For detailed information about service description documents, including the UPnP Template Language, which is an XML dialect in which the documents are written (and is the same dialect in which device description documents are written), see the UPnP Architecture documentation available at this UPnP Web site.

All service description documents must reside in the Windows\Upnp directory on the device so they can be located and used by the device host implementation.
