i-mate Debugging Tool for Windows SideShow

  • Article

Curious about exactly what type of data gadgets for Windows SideShow send to devices?  Want to know how the Simple Content Format translates into something you can see on a device?  Our partners at i-mate have put together a great little tool to show you all the behind-the-scenes content provided by gadgets.  They can even show an interactive preview of the content.  This tool builds upon their extensive knowledge of writing and implementing SideShow-compatible devices, such as Momento digital picture frames and Windows Mobile devices, to provide a great resource for both gadget developers to test their gadget (in conjunction with the Microsoft-provided Simulator in the Windows SDK) and device manufacturers to learn how to implement an SCF rendering engine.  I encourage you to check it out; you can find the link in this forum post:
