Resolving an IDE Catalog Item Dependency (Windows CE 5.0)

The integrated development environment (IDE) runs Cesysgen.bat to discover which Catalog items to bring in by dependency. By examining Cesysgen.bat, you can discover which Catalog items bring in a selected Catalog item. For more information, see Cesysgen Batch File.

For information about examining the dependencies of a Catalog item, see How to Check the Dependencies of a Catalog Item.

It is possible for Catalog item (.cec) files to specify that items have child and optional child items. These child Catalog items appear under the parent item in the Catalog in the IDE. For information about CEC files, see Catalog Item Files.

When you add an item to your OS design by dragging it from the Catalog onto the OSDesignView tab, child items that the item has are typically added to your OS design.

There are two types of child items: implementations and types.

  • An implementation is a specific item.
  • Types are groups of implementations. If a type is brought in by dependency but no implementation of that type has been brought in, the workspace is unresolved.

For information about resolving a Catalog item dependency from the command-line, see Command-Line Catalog Item Dependencies.
