Datastore Schema (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

The datastore represents objects with XML primitives such as PLATFORM and PACKAGE. All datastore elements are also OBJECT or OBJECTCONTAINER elements.

OBJECT and OBJECTCONTAINER elements are the basic information blocks in the Datastore. OBJECTCONTAINER elements contain a homogenous collection of OBJECT elements. For example, a PLATFORMCONTAINER contains only PLATFORM elements.

Every Datastore object has a name and a unique ID. Except for PROPERTY elements, the ID must be globally unique. The ID for a PROPERTY element must be unique within one property container.

The following tables show the elements of the datastore schema.

Element type Description
Global properties Describe properties that can be associated with any datastore element.
Global elements Can be used by any datastore element
Platform elements Describe the properties of a target hardware device, such as OS design characteristics, device form factor, and type-to-architecture mapping.
Package elements Describe the software elements associated with a PLATFORM object.
Service Category elements Describe connectivity service categories.
Debugger elements Describe the debug engine and associated settings.
Add-on elements Describe the additional software elements added with an installed SDK.
