NCB stands for .ncb and stands for Microsoft Visual C++ IntelliSense Database. This file type is known by MIME type application/octet-stream. NCB files are used by Microsoft Visual C++ or Microsoft Visual C# to provide intelligent code completion, automated code generation, code generation algorithms and other customization options to the compile environment.
Functionality
NCB files are created by Microsoft Visual Studio for every one of your Visual C++ or C# projects during a compilation. All tools that are available for the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE are compiled upon the NCB file in order to generate a successful build. It holds all information about the IntelliSense system which is used to provide code completion throughout the programing. NCB files provide faster access to namespaces, types, references and local symbols in order for the software to access them quickly and generate code more effectively. Furthermore, some generated code when coding is done in a different language is also stored in this format.Related File Extensions
Similarly, other file formats related to NCB include opendb, optb, .ncf, and .mdb. Each of these formats has a specific purpose for use with Microsoft Visual Studio.Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NCB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .NCB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .NCB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .NCB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .NCB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NCB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NCB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .NCB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NCB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NCB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
