Hi All,

I have a desktop application developed in .NET and I need to browse
Mobile Device Folders from my desktop application. I tried using
FolderBrowserDialog, but it doesn't go beyond mobile device.

Any Help!!!!

Thanks in advance,

Haroon

Correct, the device is a shell extension, not a storage device. Search for
RAPI.

Thanks Chris,

I have explored RAPI and it seems i have to make a custom File
Explorer to browse device folders/files. I thought there might be a
FolderBrowserDialog module or something similar available that could
access device files.

Thanks anyways

You have to write this yourself using RAPI or other means. This will be
fairly easy with RAPI as mentioned by Chris.

Mark Arteaga has an example on his blog that could be used as a good
starting point. It's available in an entry titled "Device File Browsing From
desktop" available at
http://blog.markarteaga.com/DeviceFileBrowsingFromDesktop.aspx

It uses OpenNETCF's free Desktop Communication Library, which is a .NET
wrapper on top of the native RAPI APIs.

Hope this helps,
