Web Server Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

In Windows Embedded Compact, you can create web applications by implementing web server functionality. For example, you can write an application that configures a Windows Embedded Compact powered device without a display screen by using a browser on a computer connected to that device through an Internet connection.

For more information, see Web Server Reference.
