Web Application Development

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The Web Store is great environment for running a Web site using Active Server Page (ASP) and HTML files. Your ASP files do not have to be in the Web Store, but with ASP files in the Web Store you can manage them like you do other items and you can create interesting applications. For example, you can set a default.asp, and then create an output for a client browser whenever that folder is accessed.

XML is used for receiving and responding to Internet data requests. XML files can be easily created in the Web Store. The XMLDOM object's Save method can save to a Web Store URL. You can create XMLDOM objects based on Web Store properties and end-user choices from a simple HTML form. You can also store XML as the value for a Web Store property.

Performing Web Store tasks such as maintaining items and folders is convenient when using the Microsoft® Windows® Scripting Host. Several of the Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) code examples in this section can be copied to a VBS file and run.
