public Directory (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
The public directory contains a directory for each Windows Embedded Compact module. These directories contain source code files, header files, libraries, executable code (.lib, .dll, .exe, and so on), and sample code to support the catalog items that you select for your OS design.
The common directory contains a module that other modules use.
