What is a ECP file?

ECP is a project file created by easyC development environment. ECP files are typically used for scientific and educational purposes. ECP file stores program source code created by using ‘drag and drop’ method of visual code creation process.

ECP documents store data in plain text format and are used by easC during code compilation process. ECP files compiled into executable code can be uploaded in Vex robots for execution. Latest iteration of easyC, designated v5, doesn’t support ECP files any more; last iteration that used this format was easyC v2.

How to open ECP files

If you cannot open the ECP file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports ECP among those that are installed on your device.

A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the ECP file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.

Possible problems with the ECP format files

The inability to open and operate the ECP file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the EasyC Project Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.

  • Corruption of a ECP file which is being opened
  • Incorrect links to the ECP file in registry entries.
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the ECP from the Windows registry
  • Incomplete installation of an application that supports the ECP format
  • The ECP file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
  • The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the ECP file.
  • Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a ECP file are out of date.

If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the ECP file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the ECP file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the ECP file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?

If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.ECP) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected ECP file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the ECP file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.

Is there one way to open unknown files?

Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. ECP) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
