You can use Target Control commands to transfer files to a target device and to debug applications. There are two ways to enter Target Control commands:

  • If you use a command prompt window, enter commands at the Windows CE prompt.
  • If you use the Platform Builder IDE, from the Target menu choose CE Target Control to display the Target Control window. Enter commands in the Target Control window.
