======================================================================== ACTIVE TEMPLATE LIBRARY : VssSampleProvider Project Overview ======================================================================== AppWizard has created this VssSampleProvider project for you to use as the starting point for writing your Dynamic Link Library (DLL). This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that make up your project. VssSampleProvider.vcproj This is the main project file for VC++ projects generated using an Application Wizard. It contains information about the version of Visual C++ that generated the file, and information about the platforms, configurations, and project features selected with the Application Wizard. VssSampleProvider.idl This file contains the IDL definitions of the type library, the interfaces and co-classes defined in your project. This file will be processed by the MIDL compiler to generate: C++ interface definitions and GUID declarations (VssSampleProvider.h) GUID definitions (VssSampleProvider_i.c) A type library (VssSampleProvider.tlb) Marshaling code (VssSampleProvider_p.c and dlldata.c) VssSampleProvider.h This file contains the C++ interface definitions and GUID declarations of the items defined in VssSampleProvider.idl. It will be regenerated by MIDL during compilation. VssSampleProvider.cpp This file contains the object map and the implementation of your DLL's exports. VssSampleProvider.rc This is a listing of all of the Microsoft Windows resources that the program uses. VssSampleProvider.def This module-definition file provides the linker with information about the exports required by your DLL. It contains exports for: DllGetClassObject DllCanUnloadNow GetProxyDllInfo DllRegisterServer DllUnregisterServer Building solution outside of SDK directory requires MSSdk environment variable defined or project file updated with paths to includes and libraries. For more information about MSSdk environment variable, please see the SetEnv.Cmd script in bin subdirectory inside SDK installation path. Itanium architecture is available as a target for server SKUs only. Appropriate compiler is required. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Other standard files: StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file named VssSampleProvider.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj. Resource.h This is the standard header file that defines resource IDs. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
