Hi poorni,

mc files are message files used by the mc compiler.

See here.

MC files - Message Compiler Files

Example of where it is used - In the Event Viewer

You can write strings and create a mc file and then compile it using a mc file , and user the linker we will finally get a dll which is used for event logging .

we cannot use for bitmaps and resources.

Hi ,

Thanx in advance
