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, control-based approach to FoxPro Web development.
Use ASP.NET based visual tools, but run pure Visual FoxPro code in the VFP
IDE that take advantage of FoxPro's data centric language features! While the Web Control
Framework is new, Web Connection still works with classic mode
using the lower level tools and templating of earlier versions. So what are you waiting for?
FoxPro Web Development was never easier than this.
The West Wind Web and Ajax Toolkit provides a host of essential utility
functionality for your ASP.NET Web Forms applications. From easy

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.
Create
end user or developer documentation and help files quickly and
easily with Help Builder. Help Builder's unique
environment focuses on creating documentation content quickly
with an interactive editor using design templates that let you

1.0 and 2.0, Html and Word formats. If you're a developer you can
quickly import and document .NET, FoxPro and COM objects, Web
Services, Sql Server and FoxPro databases. Help Builder is your one
stop documentation solution.
Want
to get all the functionality of Web Connection minus the server
functionality in a single package? Look no further than the West Wind

Need to call Web Services with Visual FoxPro? Then check out our Web Service Proxy Generator
that can create client components that use the reliable .NET Web Services infrastructure
to call Web Services from Visual FoxPro. This tool automates the .NET service client
generation so you don't need to use Visual Studio to import a services. The tool also
creates a FoxPro Proxy class, so you can use a familiar FoxPro class to call and access
your Web services. It's so easy you can call even complex services in minutes.
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.
