Hi all,

Anybody knows how can I make a template similar that custom device template
that appears when you create a new Platform Builder project ?? The templates
in XML seem that have been removed.
Any ideas?

Thanks

The templates are part of the catalog. You can find the existing templates
under public\cebase\catalog. If you copy an existing template, change the
catalog Ids in the template (Id=""), and put the file in a recognized
catalog location, it will appear in the list of available templates.

Microsoft does not officially support 3rd-party template authoring. That
said, the PbcXml600.xsd file that ships with PB 6.0 contains information
about how to edit the XML directly. If you use VS 2005 to edit a catalog
file as XML, the help text from the XSD file will give hints about how to
edit the catalog file.

When PB loads a winceroot, it populates the catalog by loading all files
matching one of the following patterns (catalog locations):

$(PB_INSTALL_DIR)\Catalog\**\*.pbcxml
$(_WINCEROOT)\public\*\Catalog\**\*.pbcxml
$(_WINCEROOT)\platform\*\Catalog\**\*.pbcxml
$(_WINCEROOT)\platform\common\src\soc\*\Catalog\**\*.pbcxml
$(_WINCEROOT)\3rdParty\*\Catalog\**\*.pbcxml

* = One directory name
** = Zero or more directory names
*.pbcxml = Any file ending with ".pbcxml".
