Miscellaneous Project Files

The following files are created when you create a project with certain options in Visual Studio. The options are described with their related file type:

File name	Directory location	Solution Explorer location	Description
Projname.lic	Projname	Not displayed in Solution Explorer	The user license file created for a control project. This file must be present in the same directory as the program or DLL to allow an instance of the control to be created in a design-time environment. Typically, you distribute this file with a control, but your customers do not distribute it.
Projname.reg	Projname	Not displayed in Solution Explorer	The project's registration file. This file is created in two cases: You selected any Automation server option or an Automation option. You selected a document file extension (one of the options available in the Advanced Options dialog box). The file demonstrates the kind of registration settings the framework sets for you.
IToolbar.bmp	Projname\res	Resource Files	This file is created only if you have chosen any Automation server support and have also chosen the Dockable Toolbar option. The file contains tiled images for the toolbar when the server application is in-place activated inside a container application. The file is similar to the standard Toolbar.bmp, except that many nonserver commands are removed.
