Target Control Debugging Commands (Windows CE 5.0)
You can use Target Control commands to transfer files to a target device and to debug applications. There are two ways to enter Target Control commands:
- If you use a command prompt window, enter commands at the Windows CE prompt.
- If you use the Platform Builder IDE, from the Target menu choose CE Target Control to display the Target Control window. Enter commands in the Target Control window.
The following line shows how to enter the commands.
