New Powertoy Released
Posted by: Dave Edson
Hello Everyone...
The Microsoft Smart Devices Remote Tools Framework Power Toy 1.0 has been released to the web. Let's call it RTFx for short.
It's a framework to make it easier to write remote tools (like Remote Heapwalker, etc). All of the connectivity issues are done for you, and a unified shell is provided. Your code consists of data objects, view objects, and data collectors. RTFx does the rest.
You write the desktop-side components in C#, the device-side components are written in either C++ or C#.
Included with this powertoy is a new version of the Remote System Information, called RTFx SysInfo (attachment is a screen shot). Lots of samples are provided as well.
This blog is where we will support RTFx initially. If traffic grows, we can create a category just for RTFx.
You can download it here:
I am very anxious to hear your feedback on this powertoy.
Cheers!

Let me clarify this:
> We have an intern writing C++ code for the desktop side.
You can write in native code (C++) or managed code (C++/managed, C#, or VB). One incentive for writing managed code on the desktop side is that you can extend the view that is provided in the remote tools shell (installed with the framework). - Anonymous

I couldn’t care less if the desktop is C++ or C# however what does bother me are two things.
1. The target device is either ARMV4 or ARMV4I
2. I have both PB 5 and VS 2005 installed on my work machine and I installed the RTFx of June 29, and trying to build it I discover that either I’m stupid or I’m missing something - where do I get for instance cecorecon.lib I definitely don’t have this directory on my computer: C:CEToolstoolscoreconsrcremtoolscommondevicelibarmV4idebugcecorecon.lib
searching my hard disk I couldn't find it at all.
So what is it that I have to install in order to have CEToolstoolscoreconsrcremtoolscommondevicelib - Anonymous

As I checked the supported systems list, it looks like WinCE 5.0 devices are not supported.
Can you please verify if this is true?
Thanks :)

Windows CE 5.0 is supported, however, only for ARM processors.
Is there a specific processor for which you need support? Please give us your vote. - Anonymous

We are using x86 and would really hope to see this supported :)
Thanks for the reply :)
