ASP.NET 2.0 Features & Installation

This version of the Web Store is built specifically for ASP.NET 2.0. and includes a stock ASP.NET 2.0 project for the West Wind Web Store software. To open the project you can simply point Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer at the Web Store web directory and open the project directly.

If you purchased the full version of the store with source code you might want to open the full West Wind WebStore Solution file in Visual Studio which also opens all of the support projects, which includes:

WebStore.Business
The Web Store Business Objects that provide most of the operational, non-UI functionality for the store. These are a set of business object inherited from wwBusiness and a set of high level application and configuration classes.

Westwind.BusinessObjects
This project contains the Business framework used by the business objects in the Web Store. This project includes a data access layer that interfaces with various data engines and a business object front end class that provides the base for all business objects in the application. This assembly is not specific to the WebStore and can be reused for other applications.

Westwind.Web.Controls
This project contains a number of custom user interface and operation controls that are used by the application. Commonly used controls include the wwDataBinder, wwErrorDisplay, the wwWebTabControl as well subclasses of several common base controls.

Westwind.Tools
This project contains a set of general utility classes. wwUtils contains many common functions for string parsing, Html fix up, Reflection helpers, serialization helpers and much more. There are also Web and Data specific utility classes. In addition there are configuration handler, error management and logging classes that provide base infrastructure support. The classes in this project are generic and usable in other applications.

Westwind.InternetTools
Includes a couple of classes for HTTP access and sending SMTP email. Both are wrappers that simplify these operations significantly from the native .NET functionality.
