As a synchronizing agent, Microsoft Windows CE Services copies mobile channel content into the channel cache of the Windows CE-based device. Channel synchronization is bidirectional. From the desktop computer to the device, the synchronization agent copies channel content, such as CDF, scripts, data, and images. The agent posts usage logging data to the logging host site from the device to the desktop computer.
When the agent synchronizes mobile channels, it checks a list of subscribed channels that a user can select from the Channel Synchronization Options panel. The list includes the subscribed channels with associated CDF files on both the desktop computer and the device. The CDF files must have the top-level channels defined with the following USAGE tag.
