How do I use DMProcessConfigXML to install my Windows Mobile device?
I want to create a C # program to provision Windows Mobile devices. I found MSDN documentation on the DMProcessConfigXML function , but there are no instructions on how to use this function.
How can I use this feature in my Windows Mobile app? I suspect it has something to do with using pinvoke.
Thanks
Paul

From managed code, you can call the ConfigurationManager.ProcessConfiguration found in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Configuration Namespace. msdn Here's some sample code:
XmlDocument configDoc = new XmlDocument();
configDoc.LoadXml(
"<wap-provisioningdoc>"+
"<characteristic type=\"BrowserFavorite\">"+
"<characteristic type=\"Microsoft\">"+
"<parm name=\"URL\" value=\"http://www.microsoft.com\"/>"+
"</characteristic>"+
"</characteristic>"+
"</wap-provisioningdoc>"
);
ConfigurationManager.ProcessConfiguration(configDoc, false);
No P / Invoke needed.

I looked at MSDN and there really is very little information. I did a google search and found example . Also, this is a blog post about open source CF software.
Most of the examples available are in C ++. If you want to call it from C # you need to use pinvoke. One great resource is pinvoke.net . Here you can find the signatures you need.

The answers for what to send to DMProcessConfigXML are on MSDN, but not very easy to understand. You need to look into the Configuration Provider Providers documentation .
Basically you give it XML which will either ask for or set some kind of system parameter and as a result it returns XML to you. There are service providers on the device for pretty much everything. You have to be specific about what you want, then I can point you to the documentation and samples you want.
For example, you can use it to query the registry value
You give it XML:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\ControlPanel\Home">
<parm-query name="Timeout"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
The XML output should look something like this:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\ControlPanel\Home">
<parm name="Timeout" value="10000"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
This is a simple example, you can do a lot of other things like configuring network settings, configuring mail accounts, etc. etc.
In addition, newer WM versions add more CSPs. For example, WM6.1 adds a Device Encryption Configuration Service Provider to request / enable / disable / disable full device encryption on a WM6.1 device.
Update: I copied the wrong example! DMProcessConfigXml uses OMA Client Provisioning XML, not OMA DM Provisioning XML.
