.RC File

File extension rc is associated with C/C++ programming language.

In most cases, .rc files are used for resource script files by various software compilers and contain instructions on how to compile the program source files.

RC resource script file contains statements that define all of the items that will be included in the compiled binary resource file. Each statement describes a resource item, along with an identifier (ID) and any additional parameters (which vary according to the type of resource).

A resource script can even reference a resource item that is stored in a separate file, such as a bitmap or icon.

rc file extension is also used by other programs, such as Resource Workshop or PowerBASIC for their resource script files.

Files with rc extension can be mainly found as C/C++ resource scripts from Microsoft Visual Studio integrated development environment for Windows applications.
