Hi,

I can send file from pc to device using opennetcf.desktop.communicaiton.

But i wonder how i can do this for device?

I haven't seen any function like this in this dll?

What are your suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

There is a method in the RAPI class that will allow to copy a file from a device to the PC where the code is running. It's called CopyFileFromDevice and is the counterpart to CopyFileToDevice.

Hi,

Thanks.

I have noticed this command.But i want to triggle this process from device and i wonder if it is possible or not to use this library in compact framework 2.

Thanks.

No, there isn't a way and I doubt there ever will be. The security implications of allowing this are quite obvious. 

In this given code M getting "Could not open remote file error" ... i had tried all solution given in this all forums of OPNENETCF but None of this working in my code... plz help me ... thnx in Advance

 Now not to worry for "could not open remote  file error" ... I had done all the Solution given in this community but none of them worked for me but at last the solution is

u just need to replace

myrapi.CopyFileFromDevice("C:\Test.doc", "\My Documents\Test.doc", True) line code to

myrapi.CopyFileFromDevice("C:\\Test.doc", "\\My Documents\\Test.doc", True) ...  now :)

Yes, you can't use \ like that, unless you put a @ in front of the quotes. It tells the string to not escape.

ie.  myrapi.CopyFileFromDevice(@"C:\Test.doc", @"\My Documents\Test.doc", True) would work fine.
