A component is a combination of properties, files, registry data, custom resources, dependencies, group memberships, DHTML, and build script. Custom components are one of the many objects that can be created by using Windows XP Embedded Component Designer. After you add a custom component to an .sld file, you can modify, test, release, and update it.
