New Tool: Visual Studio 2005 Device Command Shell [v0.96]

  • Article

Device Command Shell:

The Device Command Shell (DCS) provides a command-line interface to several useful functions for developing Smart Device applications using Visual Studio 2005. It is implemented as a Visual Studio "Command Window" add-in for convenience and quick access. The application supports remote device commands such as copying files, starting/stopping/listing processes, working with the device registry, remote XML provisioning and more.

Install Location:

You can download the latest versions of the Device Command Shell and documentation from my GotDotNet workspace:
https://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=50618f79-c7b1-4588-9c0a-cf4ddae8092a

Tips:

  1. You'll need to restart Visual Studio after installation
  2. On first use, you should create all the command aliases by executing the "DeviceShell.Connect.DeviceShell alias" command. From that point, you can simply type "CE." and get auto-completion support for all the commands
