======================================================================== ACTIVE TEMPLATE LIBRARY : Server Project Overview ======================================================================== AppWizard has created this Server 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. Server.vcxproj 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. Server.vcxproj.filters This is the filters file for VC++ projects generated using an Application Wizard. It contains information about the association between the files in your project and the filters. This association is used in the IDE to show grouping of files with similar extensions under a specific node (for e.g. ".cpp" files are associated with the "Source Files" filter). Server.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 (Server.h) GUID definitions (Server_i.c) A type library (Server.tlb) Marshaling code (Server_p.c and dlldata.c) Server.h This file contains the C++ interface definitions and GUID declarations of the items defined in Server.idl. It will be regenerated by MIDL during compilation. Server.cpp This file contains the object map and the implementation of your DLL's exports. Server.rc This is a listing of all of the Microsoft Windows resources that the program uses. Server.def This module-definition file provides the linker with information about the exports required by your DLL. It contains exports for: DllGetClassObject DllCanUnloadNow DllRegisterServer DllUnregisterServer DllInstall ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Other standard files: StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file named Server.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj. Resource.h This is the standard header file that defines resource IDs. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Proxy/stub DLL project and module definition file: Serverps.vcxproj This file is the project file for building a proxy/stub DLL if necessary. The IDL file in the main project must contain at least one interface and you must first compile the IDL file before building the proxy/stub DLL. This process generates dlldata.c, Server_i.c and Server_p.c which are required to build the proxy/stub DLL. Serverps.vcxproj.filters This is the filters file for the proxy/stub project. It contains information about the association between the files in your project and the filters. This association is used in the IDE to show grouping of files with similar extensions under a specific node (for e.g. ".cpp" files are associated with the "Source Files" filter). Serverps.def This module definition file provides the linker with information about the exports required by the proxy/stub. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
