Microsoft Visual c++6.0 is a short and lean integrated development tool that has been in use since its release in 1998. The following is a brief introduction to some common file name extensions in VC6.0.
. APS: Intermediate files that store binary resources, VC converts the current resource file into binary format and stores it in the APS file to speed up resource loading. resource-assisted files.
. BMP: Bitmap resource file.
. BSC: Browse information files, accessed by the Browse Information Maintenance tool (BSCMAKE) from the original browse information file (. SBR), a BSc file can be used in the source editor for quick
Positioning. For browsing project information, you must have this file if you are using source browser. Generate browse info can be removed from project options
File, which can speed up the compilation progress.
. C: Source code files written in C language.
. Clw:classwizard the file that is generated to hold the class information. ClassWizard information file, INI file format.
. CNT: The structure used to define "Contents" in the Help file.
. CPP or. CXX: source code files written in the C + + language.
. CUR: Cursor resource file.
. DEF: module definition file for use when generating a dynamic link library.
. DLG: A standalone file that defines a dialog resource. This file is not necessary for VC projects, because VC generally put the dialog resources in the. rc resource definition file.
. DSP:VC project files generated by the development environment, VC4 and previous versions use a MAK file to define the project. item file, text format.
. The workspace file generated by the DSW:VC development environment is used to organize multiple projects into a workspace. workspace file, similar to. dsp.
. Exp: The output file generated by the Lib tool from the Def file, which contains output information for functions and data items, the link tool uses the exp file to create a dynamic-link library.
It is generated only when the DLL is compiled, and some information in the DLL file is logged.
. H. HPP or. HXX: Files that are written in C + + languages, typically used to define data types, declare variables, functions, structures, and classes.
. Hlp:windows help file.
. HM: In the Help project, the file defines the corresponding relationship between the ID value of the helper file and the dialog box, menu, or other resource.
. HPJ: Help engineering file generated by Help Workshop to control the build process of the Help file.
. HPG: The project that generated the Help files.
. ICO: Icon resource file.
. ILK: An intermediate file that is generated during the connection process and is intended for use by the link tool only.
. INI: Configuration file.
. LIB: library file, the link tool will use it to connect various input plus so that the final EXE file.
. LIC: User License Book file, which is required when using certain ActiveX controls.
. MAK: The Make file, VC4 and previous versions of the working file used to specify how to set up a job, VC6 convert the Mak file to a DSP file to process.
. MAP: A text file generated by the link tool that contains some information about a connected program, such as group information and public symbolic information in a program.
Executes the image information log file for the file.
. MDP: The previous version of the project file, equivalent to. dsp.
. NCB:NCB is the abbreviation for "No Compile Browser", which stores information for ClassView, WizardBar and Component Gallery used by VC development environment
Automatically generated. No compilation browse fileYou can delete this file when there is a problem with the AutoComplete feature, and the file will be generated automatically when the project is recompiled.
. OBJ: The target file generated by the compiler assembler tool, which is the binary intermediate file of the module.
. ODL: The source code file written in the object Description language, VC uses it to generate TLB files.
. OLB: A special dynamic-link library with a type of resource, also called an object library file.
. OPT:VC a file that is automatically generated by the development environment to hold the various options in the workspace. Engineering parameter files for the development environment, such as tool strip location information.
. PBI,. PbO and. PBT: Three types of files generated and used by the VC profiling tool profile.
. PCH: Precompiled header file, relatively large, by the compiler when the project was built automatically generated, which contains the project has been compiled part of the code, in the future to establish the project will not re-
Compile the code to speed up the entire compilation process.
. PDB: Program database files, which are automatically generated when the project is set up, which stores the information of the program to speed up the debugging process. Some data about the program are recorded and
Debugging information.
. PLG: Compile information files, compile-time error and warning information files.
. RC: Resource definition file.
. RC2: Resource definition file for use in some special cases.
. REG: Registry information file.
. Res: A binary resource file that generates a res file after the Resource compiler compiles the resource definition file.
. The Rtf:rich text format (Rich text formatting) document, which can be created by word or WordPad, is often used to generate help files.
. The SBR:VC compiler generates the original browse information file for each obj file, and the Browse Information Maintenance tool (BSCMAKE) uses the SBR file to generate the BSc file.
. The Tlb:ole library file, which holds the data types, modules, and interface definitions of OLE Automation objects, and the Automation server can understand how automation objects are used through TLB files.
. WAV: Sound resource file.
