Summary

This tutorial introduced several sample programs that described the process of developing NGWS applications. You learned how several different languages – in our examples managed C++, C#, and Visual Basic – could be used to both create and call components written in any NGWS runtime compatible language. You also learned how to use the new WinForms library to create true Windows applications. Finally, you saw how the same languages can be used inside ASP+ to provide substantially more power and flexibility than was previously available to Web developers using embedded scripting languages.

Developers creating server applications should also review the "ASP+ and Web Server Overview" topic area (under "Preliminary Developer Documentation" and then "Technologies" in that same help file). Advanced developers will also benefit from reading the overview material under the "NGWS runtime Overview" topic, which includes information on the Execution Engine (EE) and Virtual Object System (VOS).

For the latest information on NGWS, visit the Technology Preview Web site at http://dapdweb.microsoft.com/ngws/sdk, which includes a pointer to all the NGWS newsgroups on Microsoft news server. Feedback – including reporting bugs – on the SDK can be submitted through http://dapdweb.microsoft.com/ngws/sdk/feedback.
