VS_VERSIONINFO (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

This structure depicts the organization of data in a file-version resource. It is the root structure that contains all other file-version information structures. This structure is not a true C-language structure because it contains variable-length members.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  WORD wLength;
  WORD wValueLength;
  WORD wType;
  WCHAR szKey[];
  WORD Padding1[];
  VS_FIXEDFILEINFO Value;
  WORD Padding2[];
  WORD Children[];
} VS_VERSIONINFO;

Members

• wLength
  Length, in bytes, of the VS_VERSIONINFO structure. This length does not include any padding that aligns any subsequent version resource data on a 32-bit boundary.

• wValueLength
  Length, in bytes, of the Value member. This value is zero if there is no Value member associated with the current version structure.

• wType
  Type of data in the version resource. This member is 1 if the version resource contains text data and 0 if the version resource contains binary data.

• szKey
  Unicode string "VS_VERSION_INFO".

• Padding1
  Zero words, as many as are needed to align the Value member on a 32-bit boundary.

• Value
  VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure that specifies arbitrary data associated with this VS_VERSIONINFO structure. The wValueLength member specifies the length of this member; if wValueLength is zero, this member does not exist.

• Padding2
  Zero words, as many as needed to align the Children member on a 32-bit boundary. These bytes are not included in wValueLength. This member is optional.

• Children
  Specifies an array of zero or one StringFileInfo structures, and zero or one VarFileInfo structures that are children of the current VS_VERSIONINFO structure.

Remarks

This structure was created solely to depict the organization of data in a version resource and does not appear in any of the header files shipped with an SDK for a Windows Embedded Compact OS.
