Data Transfer Question

[Logan Adams]

I have made an app for note taking, but I was curious if the Zune was capable to transferring data, text and tables back to the computer if it was able. Is this possile, or should I just abandon this part of the program.

Nope, not possible to send data back.

Except in debug mode, so technically you could send data back, but it would be very awkward.

It would be theoretically possible to transmit data back to the PC through the trace channel; however, no one has reverse engineered the protocol that would need to be used to receive data at the other end. Additionally, it would necessarily be less than svelte due to the lack of Explorer or Zune software integration.

Alternatively, you could just dump the data over trace and hope the user has a debugger hooked up to receive the data and C&P it into their text editor of choice.

tl;dr: No.

OK Thanks, I was just curious if it was easy. Do you think that they will ever offer any integration of this type?
