Workspace Creation in the IDE

  • Article

In the IDE, when you select New Platform from the File menu, the New Platform Wizard creates a workspace. The following list shows the results of the wizard:

  • Creation of a workspace directory

    • A README.txt file explaining the directory layout
    • A workspace file (.wce), which tracks your workspace settings.
    • An options (.opt) file, which contains tools options such as breakpoint settings

  • Creation of a platform directory, located in %_WINCEROOT%\%_TGTPROJ%.

  • Storage of information about selected features in the workspace's .wce file.

  • Creation of release directories in %_WINCEROOT%\%_TGTPROJ%\Reldir.

    For example, if you build an x86 configuration for the Emulator, the release directories are named EMULATOR_X86Debug and EMULATOR_X86Retail.
