Building a Plug-in (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

After you have created and modified a plug-in based on the Remote Tools Framework, you are now ready to build it.

The method of building a plug-in depends on whether the plug-in is one of the sample plug-ins, or if the wizard created the plug-in. In a sample plug-in, there is a separate project for each target, while a plug-in that the wizard created contains a single project for all device-side targets.

For information about creating a plug-in, see Creating a New Plug-in From an Existing Plug-in and Creating a New Plug-in Using the Project Wizard.

Building a Plug-in

  1. To build a plug-in that you have created using the Remote Tools Framework Plug-in Project Wizard, in Visual Studio, from the Build menu, select Batch Build. Select the configurations that you want to build, and then click Build.

    - or -

  2. To build a sample plug-in, from the Build menu, select Build Solution. This builds everything contained in the solution.

    This results in Visual Studio building both the device-side and desktop-side components, after which a post-build event occurs. This event uses the Remote Tool Bundler and the information from the Plugininfo.cebundleinfo file to produce the final .cetool file.
