Project options file for BDS 2006 and earlier. Contains the current settings for project options, such as compiler and linker settings, directories, conditional directives, and command-line parameters. Set these options using ProjectOptions.  

bdsgroup  

Project group for BDS 2006 and earlier products.  

bpk  

Source file for a C++ Builder package; produces a .bpl file when compiled and linked.  

bpl  

A compiled Delphi package or a compiled C++ package (see also .dpk).

cbproj  

C++ project. This is not 'cproj', which is a VS.NET C++ project.  

cfg  

Project configuration file used for command line compiles. The compiler searches for a dcc32.cfg in the compiler executable directory, then for dcc32.cfg in the current directory, and then finally for projectname.cfg in the project directory. You can type dcc32 projectname on the command line and compile the project with same options specified in the IDE.  

config  

Config files contain project option information and build logic. Each project has a .config file.  

cpp  

C++ source file.  

csm  

C++ precompiled header file.  

csproj  

C# project, in keeping with MSBuild convention.  

dci  

Holds Code Insight changes you make in the IDE.  

dcp  

Contains all compile and link information for a Delphi package in the same way that a .dcu file has this information for a .pas file. Use this file if building with runtime packages.  

dcu  

Delphi compiled unit. An intermediate compiler output file produced for each Win32 unit's source code. You do not need to open these binary files or distribute them with your application. The .dcu file enables rapid compiling and linking.  

delphi.dct  

Component template changes you make in the IDE.  

dfm  

A Windows VCL form file.  

dpk  

The source file for a Delphi package. When compiled, produces a .bpl file.

nfn  

A file maintained by the Translation Tools, containing translated strings and other data displayed in the Translation Manager. There is a separate .nfn file for each form in your application and each target language.
