<task id="GUID-9A9103E4-27B0-5CF3-855A-DCD44795A5C0" xml:lang="en"><title>Creating

a Registration Resource File</title><shortdesc>The properties of the implementation are published in a compiled

resource file. This file is known as the registration resource file of the

implementation and has a<filepath>.rss</filepath> extension. The plug-in framework

reads the resource files to find the interface implementations available on

the system. In case of an implementation collection, the collection has one

registration resource file and the properties of all the implementations of

the collection are described in the file. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>

<context id="GUID-391778B3-5055-5368-AB5F-2C032B69D905"><p>The plug-in framework

supports three versions of the resource structure types from which the registration

resource files can be constructed: </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-47AD6ECD-92B2-512C-B72B-9423CFE2F3A0"><p>The standard version

that allows ROM-based plug-ins to be overridden by RAM-based plug-ins. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-0E0AFCE2-DE9E-58DD-9450-450FA386B64C"><p>The version 2 (modified

version) that can prevent the ROM-based plug-ins from being overridden by

RAM-based plug-ins. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-3BF5C69F-1D07-5600-B507-7C20295826BC"><p>The version 3 (modified

version) to accommodate extended interfaces. </p> </li>
