![]() ![]() Welcome to Rick Strahl's West Wind Technologies Web Site, home of West Wind Web Connection. This site is a resource for Visual FoxPro and .NET developers building Web and Enterprise applications. Here you can find a large white paper archive, a very active message board, Rick's Web Log and many tools designed to help developers deliver Web and Enterprise solutions with Visual Studio .NET and Visual FoxPro. Version 5.62
Mar.
28th, 2012
Create Web applications with Visual FoxPro and take advantage of a
powerful and proven framework. Version 5 adds a new
Web Control Framework on top of the core Web Connection engine,
adding a rich, visual and control based approach to FoxPro Web development.
Optionally use Visual Studio to layout your controls and HTML with full
layout support and Intellisense, but create and debug code using
pure FoxPro code in the FoxPro IDE.
While the Web Control Framework is new, Web Connection still works
and improves upon the classic MVC style mode with new HtmlHelpers and templating of
earlier versions. So what are you waiting for? FoxPro Web Development was never easier than this.
Version 4.66
January 19th, 2012
Help Builder is here to help you create profession documentation for
end user applications, developer components or even documentation or
online knowledgebases for a project, product or service. Focus on creating documentation content quickly
with an interactive editor and design templates that let you
concentrate on content creation. Create Html Help
(CHM), Web Html and Word or PDF output all from a single source.
If you're a software developer you can also import and document
.NET, FoxPro and COM objects, Web
Services, Sql Server and FoxPro databases and work with Help Builder
directly in Visual Studio. Help Builder is your one stop documentation
solution.

9/14/2008 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.Free West Wind Web Configuration Utility Version 1.0 Ever
need to quickly install a Web application on a different server? You
copy files and then you start fiddling with IIS to create a virtual
directory, set directory permissions, possibly configure your Visual
Studio.NET solution file to run in the different application path or
configure MSDE/SQL Server to create a accounts? If you do this a lot
this utility is for you. This utility performs these tasks through
either an easy to use Windows Forms interface or through a command line
interface that uses an XML configuration file that can 'just do it'.
