About the NetShow Theater Server Administration SDK

The NetShow Theater Server Administration SDK consists of five ActiveX controls: MediaServer, ServerView, ClientView, TitleView, and TraceView. All the controls are packaged in a single .ocx file (Nstadmin.ocx) that comes with the product. In addition, the MediaServer control maintains a set of objects for representing and managing clients, servers, titles, and disk drives.

ActiveX controls are convenient and efficient for creating either Windows- or Web-based applications. You can use these controls in any applications written in Microsoft Visual Basic®, Microsoft Visual C++®, Microsoft Visual J++—, or a combination of HTML and Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JavaScript.

This document focuses on developing applications by using Visual Basic and VBScript. Many of the concepts discussed in the SDK assume the reader has some knowledge of the Microsoft Visual Basic version 5.0 development environment, or expertise in using HTML and VBScript. For more information about developing applications by using ActiveX controls, visit the Microsoft Active Platform site, www.microsoft.com/activeplatform. Information about ActiveX scripting languages can be found at the Microsoft VBScript home page, www.microsoft.com/vbscript.
