How can I access files added with "Add Folder to Live Mesh?"

Question

I've synced several folders with the option to Add Folder to Live Mesh and I'd like to get a list of those files from code.  However, when I run the Live Framework Resource Browser I can't find the files.  How can I get programmatic access to synced data?

Answer 1

There are two separate Live Mesh offerings: Live Mesh Beta and Live Framework. Live Mesh Beta is a consumer offering while Live Framework is a developer sandbox accessible by developers using the Live Framework APIs (REST and .Net). Applications written using the Live Framework API can not access Live Mesh Beta data.

"Add Folder to Live Mesh" is a Live Mesh Beta feature not supported by the Live Mesh used by the Live Framework. Consequently, you will not be able to use the Live Framework API or the LiveFX Resource Browser to access any data synced using the "Add Folder to Live Mesh" feature. I do not think there is any programmable access today to Live Mesh Beta data.
