Windows Phone 7 emulator connection (Cradling like 6.5 windows mobile emulator)

Hi all,

I want to connect the windows phone emulator in a such a way that we can access the local data in the system.

(In windows mobile 6 or 6.5, we used to cradle it through windows mobile device centre.)

How do we do that in windows phone 7.?

Can we install .CAB files in Windows Phone 7.??

The delpoyment tool only supports .XAP file if i am right.

Kindly let me know.

Thanks,

Krishna
