Creating a Form Configuration File
Applies to: Office 2010 | Outlook 2010 | Visual Studio
A form configuration file provides information about a form both to the form manager being used and to client applications. A form configuration file contains an extensive specification for a form, including the properties published by the form for use by messaging clients, the verbs implemented by the form, and the platforms supported by the form.
A form configuration file is a file with a .cfg extension, and has a format similar to a Windows initialization file. It is a plain text file with a number of sections. Each section begins with a section name, enclosed in square brackets. Each section contains one or more lines that define values and settings relevant to that section. Values have one of the following types:
String
Displayed string
Platform string
Path name
Integer
GUID
