    The NCB file format isn’t publicly documented and changes with every version of Visual Studio. With the upcoming VS2010 (due out in about a week and a half), it’s going away entirely in favor of a new SQL-based format that should be much easier to work with. Microsoft is also implementing an API for integrating with the Intellisense data from the parser.
