  • Artigo

1/6/2010

You can use the Catalog Editor to view and edit Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Catalog item (.pbcxml) files, which are XML-based files that contain metadata about the associated Catalog item.

You can also use the Catalog Editor to convert existing Windows CE 5.0 Catalog item (.cec) files to Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Catalog item files. For more information, see Migrating a Catalog Item.

For information about the metadata that is contained in a .pbcxml file, see Catalog Files.

In Windows Explorer, when you choose to open a .pbcxml file, Windows Embedded CE 6.0 opens the Catalog Editor. The graphical user interface is much like that of other Visual Studio editors and components.

The Catalog Editor toolbar displays the following icons.
