Let E and F be locally convex spaces and let K be a compact Hausdorff space. C(K,E) is the space of all E-valued continuous functions defined on K, endowed with the uniform topology.

Starting from the well-known fact that every linear continuous operator T from C(K,E) to F can be represented by an integral with respect to an operator-valued measure, we study, in this paper, some relationships between these operators and the properties of their representing measures. We give special treatment to the unconditionally converging operators.

As a consequence we characterise the spaces E for which an operator T defined on C(K,E) is unconditionally converging if and only if (Tfn) tends to zero for every bounded and converging pointwise to zero sequence (fn) in C(K,E).
