Hi,
Can somebody tell how to write, read and format a MicrSD memory card using C sharp....I have checked Windows Embedded CE Developer Center but things are not getting clear....Please suggest me with an example..

I am unaware of any .NET framework support for formatting your SD card, but you could call the SHFormatDrive Function from your app, which will invoke the Shell's Format dialog, presumably as a child window because it requires a valid HWND.
As far as reading and writing, unless you intend to perform direct access, I don't believe you need to do anything special except perhaps pay attention to the remaining space. Just use the System.IO's File and Stream I/O classes.

Thank you for your suggestion.Actually I need to check memory cards by copying a file to it and reading that from memory card.Can I know whether any DLLs available for this "File and Stream I/O classes" so that I can easily use it in other programming languages also.
I used the dll shell32 for formating the drive.

As long as .NET framework is installed on the machine in question, you don't need to worry about the dll's; just check the minimum .NET version information for the functionality you wish to use: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k3352a4t.aspx

Hi, I worked with SHFormatdrive and its working fine the problem is its throwing the usual message boxes sch as "Format Local Disk(H:)" and the option for selecting "File system".. quick format...etc etc.... But i don't need any such interaction with the software.So when i click the start button my software will automatically format,write,read and format the memory card...ie while formatting the software should automatically format that particular memory card without throwing any message boxes...
