Registering a UPnP Device using Microsoft API's

Hi,

I am trying to make a UPnP device using Microsoft API's via Visual C++. So far I have created the device and registered it successfully with the IUPnPRegistrar::RegisterDevice method. I have also read in MSDN that there is another method to register a UPnP device using the IUPnPRegistrar::RegisterRunningDevice.

There isn't much details in MSDN on the difference between the two methods or when to use one of them..

I would appreciate it if somebody can clear the matter.

Regards

  I usually hate it when people post answers that are obviously not in the direction of the question; however I would highly recommend that you reconsider using UPnP. It is riddled with security flaws.

  I am sure I will get down voted because of this, but if you read up on UPnP [if you haven't already] and learn of the security flaws then it was worth it.
