How do we uninstall an application from a NETMF single board computer?

Question

Situation and Question

I have a FEZ Cobra II NET, to which I have deployed a small application. I wrote the application in Visual Studio 2012. Then I connected the Cobra via USB, and deployed to it via Right Click > Deploy in Visual Studio. Now I want to uninstall the application. How do we do this?

Answer 1

MicroFramework .Net has only one application installed at time. If you want different functionality change source code and redeploy new application with VisualStudio and current application will be overwritten.

If you want to disable current application unplug device from electricity. :P

In .NET Micro Framework SDK, there is a tool, named MFDeploy , provided to deploy/upgrade device firmware. You can use this application to flash your embedded device's program memory.
