Adding a Source Code Link to a Catalog File (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

In Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0, you can use the Catalog Editor to add a link to source code to an existing Catalog (.pbcxml) file such as a .pbcxml file. For more information about creating a Catalog item file, see Using the Catalog Editor to Create a Catalog File.

After you have done this, you can then add the Catalog item to the Catalog. For information about adding a Catalog item to the Catalog, see Adding a Catalog Item to the Catalog.

  1. Open a Catalog file by using the Catalog Editor.

    For more information, see Using the Catalog Editor to Open an Existing Catalog File.

  2. Select the Catalog item to which you want to add the source-code link.

  3. From the Catalog Editor toolbar, select Add, and then select Source Code Link.

    Platform Builder creates a source-code link as a child of the selected Catalog item, with a default name and a default path.

  4. In the Properties pane of the Catalog Editor, you can view and modify the default name and the path properties of the source-code link.

  5. To edit the path for the source-code link, enter the directory path to the source code for the selected Catalog item in the Path field.

  6. To edit the name that is displayed, enter a display name for the source-code path in the Title field.
