I need to transfer a file to the Emulator used for debugging, is that
possible and how?

Thanks,
Samuel
 
You can either add files to your project, and mark their BuildAction
property as Content so they will be deployed into your application folder.
Or in the Emulator properties you can setup a Storage Card mapping so you
can point the storage card folder on the emulator to a physical folder on
the host PC. This option is not available on older versions of the device
emulator.

I tried the first method but the file is not in the folder of the
application

About the second method, I am not sure what you call the Emulator Properties
and how can that be accessed

In the device emulator, select 'File->Confugure' and then in the
'Shared Folder' textbox, select the folder on your local PC that you
want to act as your Storage Card. Once this is done, you should now see
'Storage Card' in the File Explorer on the device. Go into it and you
will see the files that sit on your PC that are within the selected
folder for 'Shared Folder'.

Hope this helps.
