We'll cover the last collection type, IPortableDeviceValuesCollection, here. To refresh - Part 1 discussed IPortableDeviceKeyCollection and IPortableDeviceValues while Part 2 covered IPortableDevicePropVariantCollection. IPortableDeviceValuesCollection...

In the previous part , we took a look at IPortableDeviceKeyCollection and IPortableDeviceValues. In this post, we'll examine the IPortableDevicePropVariantCollection (quite a mouthful :) collection. IPortableDevicePropVariantCollection The documentation...

Check out this Channel 9 video on the WPD platform. It's full of demos - check out the one with a WPD driver for a blood glucose meter (22:00 timestamp). There are demos of the WpdInfo and WpdMon tools. WpdInfo and WpdMon are available in the WDK, while...
