Create
Web applications with Visual FoxPro taking advantage of a
powerful and proven framework. Version 5.0 adds a new
Web Control Framework on top of the core Web Connection engine,
adding a rich, visual control based approach similar to ASP.NET
to FoxPro Web development. Get much of the power of ASP.NET, but
use pure Visual FoxPro code with FoxPro centric data features! Web Connection also still supports more
low level Web Development approaches, and stays compatible with
previous versions. You can continue to use low level code or
templates or any of the many output generation tools that can
create HTML, PDF, XML and binary output easily. So what are you
waiting for? FoxPro Web Development was never easier than this.
The West Wind Web Toolkit provides a host of essential utility
functionality for your ASP.NET Web Forms applications. From AJAX
and jQuery tools, to a powerful DataBinding control, to
Globalization, to core ASP.NET utility functionality like
logging, error handling and configuration and script management, to a large set
of utility functions useful in just about any .NET and/or
ASP.NET Web project. This toolkit comprises a set of
functionality that is not flashy, but covers many core, day to
day tasks required in almost every .NET and Web application. Get
productive today.

Do you need to manage your configuration settings in your
application in sensible manner that goes beyond the basic features found
in .NET's ConfigurationSettings class? The base functionality that .NET
provides is a big improvement over no configuration features at all, but
it leaves a lot to be desired in usability terms. The wwAppConfiguration
class provides relief by allowing you to create configuration settings
as members of a strongly typed class which can persist its content to
and from a variety of storage containers. Because you're dealing with a
class you get easy portability, strong typing and Intellisense,
read/write access, along with a much simpler interface to your
configuration data inside of your application.
