Viewing the MFC Browse Information File
MFC.bsc is the browse information file for the Microsoft Foundation Class Library. You can open MFC.bsc in the Object Browser to look through the MFC source code for debugging purposes or to get a better idea of what is going on behind the scenes.
Not all MFC classes and symbols are included in the browse information file. For example, the ISAPI classes are not included because they are in a separate library. If you want to view symbols that are not in the browse file, the Find In Files command on the File menu is another good way of locating items.
MFC.bsc is not installed by the setup program, but you can copy it manually from the distribution disk. From the root CD directory, the path is \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\src\mfc\MFC.bsc. Copy this file to the same directory on your hard disk where Visual C++ is installed. Once installed, the file can be opened and used the same as any other browse information file.
