Sample Device Imaging Component

12/14/2011

The sample device imaging component demonstrates how to create a software component that allows the Device Imaging service in Device Manager 2011 to communicate with a device imaging solution. The sample device imaging component is designed to work with the device imaging solution simulator that is included with this SDK. The device imaging solution simulator lets the user simulate the states that devices go through during the device imaging process, but does not actually deploy operating system images onto devices. Communication between the device imaging component and the device imaging solution simulator occurs through a duplex communication Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) channel known as a named pipe.

Note

The sample device imaging component uses WCF, but this not a requirement for your device imaging component to work with Device Manager 2011.
