The Windows.Devices.Portable namespace has these types of members:
Classes
The Windows.Devices.Portable namespace has these classes.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|

| ServiceDeviceType | Indicates the type of a portable device service. |
Remarks
This table lists the GUIDs of standard MTP device services that can be passed to the serviceId parameter. For more information about these MTP devices services, see MTP Device Services for Windows.
While the standard device services are all MTP device services, non-MTP devices may also support services. An MTP device may also support additional device services that are not standard device services. Check with the device manufacturer to find out what device services are supported on a given WPD device.

To access these services, you must declare the device service in the device capabilities section of the appxmanifest file. For example:
<Capabilities>
<DeviceCapability Name="0B9F1048-B94B-DC9A-4ED7-FE4FED3A0DEB"/> <!-- Status Device Service -->
<DeviceCapability Name="D0EACE0E-707D-4106-8D38-4F560E6A9f8E"/> <!-- Ringtones Device Service -->
</Capabilities>
This table lists GUIDs commonly used when accessing storage functionality on WPD devices using the WPD APIs. These can also be declared in the device capabilities section of the appxmanifest file.
