Datastore File Organization (Windows CE 5.0)
Each datastore file has four sections:
Default datastore
The default datastore consists of the originally installed XSL files. These files are not changed by installation or setup process. The default datastore can restore a corrupted or destroyed datastore to the state of a fresh installation.
User datastore
The original user datastore is a copy of the default datastore, stored in the user's profile on the desktop. If the IDE installs an add-on component, it copies the add-on to the user datastore the next time the datastore is instantiated.
Add-on components
The associated IDE, Visual Studio or Platform Builder, creates add-on components as required when an SDK is installed.
Add-on components contain information about custom devices and platforms required to use an SDK. An add-on component consists of an XSL file that specifies the data to be integrated and optional XML files that specify language string translations.
Language files
Each XML file provides string names for a certain language. These XML files are stored in the All Users profile directory
All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon\1.0\<locale id>.For example, an XML file that provides string for the English language has a locale ID of 1033.
Add-on components place language files into the appropriate locale directory. The datastore loads language files associated with the locale setting.
