Chapter 31. Device Security Manager
One of the challenges faced by developers building applications for the Windows Mobile platform is the uncertainty around the security profile of the target devices. Within a corporate environment it may be commonplace for the IT department to prescribe a given set of security settings for the company's mobile devices. Unfortunately in the consumer space this is quite often dictated by phone carriers or manufacturers.
With earlier versions of Visual Studio, an associated power toy would allow developers to manage the security settings on the device they were working with in order to test their application behavior. Now in Visual Studio 2008 this same functionality is available via the Device Security Manager. In this chapter you learn how to work with the Device Security Manager not only to manage your device security profile, but also to manage certificates and aid in validating your mobile application.
