Download Formats
The NGWS runtime supports the following download formats:
- PE file (dll or exe) The PE pointed to must contain an assembly manifest.
- Design Ongoing! Cab. For Beta1 we have some support for cab files, but our current architecture won't allow a cab file to be referenced directly from the OBJECT tag using the syntax described above. Design details on how to solve this problem are currently being discussed. In general, the Assembly Resolver’s download support includes the capability to download a single assembly per cab file. The name of the file inside the cab that contains the manifest must be the name of the cab (minus the ".cab") + ".dll" or ".exe". For example, given a reference to foo.cab, Fusion will look for a file inside the cab called foo.dll (then foo.exe).
