Deploying to external memory card

[Drudkh]

Hi,

I've been searching all over the place to solve this problem, which I wanted to deploy files into the external memory card (Compact Flash or Secure Digital) as the default location, instead of clicking "No" when deploying and select the location.

I'm using VS.Net 2005 and the Smart Device CAB Project does not have the external memory card folder. I couldn't find any results searching the net for over 2 days.

I hope someone can help me! Thanks!

Don.

See the Storage Card paragraph in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/SPFiles.asp

Basically gets DirectoryInfo of root "\" then each subfolder where attributes is Directory and Temporary is a memory card.
(Dim attrStorageCard As FileAttributes = FileAttributes.Directory Or FileAttributes.Temporary)

Thanks John for the reply.

I am looking for deploying files into external memory card, not accessing them.

Something like below with the Smart Device CAB project:

After which, I will compile into a .msi setup for user to install.


Regards,
Don.
