How to Develop a Windows Network Projector

8/27/2008

This topic provides a step-by-step outline for the development of Windows Embedded CE wireless network projectors and large screen displays, as well as references to topics that explain each step.

You do not need to follow the steps in the outline in the order in which they are presented. You might need to repeat some steps; for example, during the development you might customize, debug, and test many times.

Hardware and Software Assumptions

You have a Windows Vista-based development workstation that you can connect to the network projector for testing.
You have installed Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0.
