Smart Device Development
Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity Namespace

This namespace contains types that make up the desktop side of the Smart Device Connectivity API. Use the Smart Device Connectivity API in your managed applications to establish a desktop-to-device connection. This API enables you to focus on writing remote tools and plug-ins, while the Smart Device Connectivity API handles the device interconnectivity and transport mechanisms details.

Visual Studio Remote Tools for Device Projects such as Remote File Viewer and Remote Process Viewer are good examples of what you can do with the Smart Device Connectivity API. For more information, see Controlling Devices with the Smart Device Connectivity API.

The classes in this namespace are classified into the following categories.
