WebForm Options

Visual Studio

Scriptoria creates Visual Studio solutions and projects. You can include as many WEB projects as you like in a single VS solution. With VS 2005, SSRS projects may also be included along with the WEB projects.

 

Version

Select the Visual Studio version to use for Visual Basic Web Projects.

 

Root Folder
Choose the folder to contain the VS solution. A new solution folder will be created beneath the selected folder.

 

Solution Name

The Visual Studio Solution name defaults to the MS Access database name. If you wish to include multiple converted Access applications in the same solution, change the Solution Name to the one already created.

 

A global "images" folder is created, initially containing Scriptoria supplied image files. Linked and/or embedded images used by the Access applications are added to the images folder as they are encountered. See the Image Manager.

 

Project Name

 

The name of Visual Basic Project (.vbproj) also defaults to the Access database name.

 

An images folder is also created for each project that contains system supplied images and project specific images used by the Access application. Although this may seem redundant, it is done to simplify debugging. when using the built-in VS 2005 Web Server, which sets the project folder as the top "root" folder effectively hiding the global solutions images folder. The project images folders may be omitted when publishing the solution. All images will be resolved  by referencing the global solution images folder.

 

IIS Address

IIS Web Address. Typically http://localhost.

 

Edit Buttons

 

When Datasheet Forms are created using ASP.NET Grid Controls and the Form's Navigation Bar property is set to False, buttons used Edit, Save, Undo, and Delete records included on the Grid. You may choose to place them on left (default) or right side of each Grid row.

 

Grid Attributes

 

Set the Grid Cell Padding (defaults to 2) and Cell Spacing (defaults to 0) attributes as desired.
