Add Release Directory Modules (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/26/2014

In Platform Builder, you can specify that your Windows Embedded Compact OS design load additional .exe or .dll files from the release directory instead of from the image when it is built. Such files are called release directory modules. If you rebuild after you create an image, and only the release directory modules are changed during the build, you do not have to rebuild and download the image to test the changed code. This saves time on application development.

To add a release directory module

  1. In Visual Studio, on the Target menu, click Release Directory Modules.

  2. In the Release Directory Modules dialog box, click Add.

  3. In the Module dialog box, enter the name of the file to add, or select it from the drop-down list.

  4. Click OK, and then click OK again.
