Oftentimes, developers found it too complex in order to deploy their web application that used third party components. There are too much things that need to be recalled before a web application can be successfully deployed. For an instance, the javascript files, images and other runtime client files need to be copied in order for the component to run properly.
 |
One of the goal in Intersoft's 2007 product platform is to simplify the deployment process required in Intersoft's controls. Our approach is by developing a new infrastructure that handles the storage and retrieval system of these client resources so that physical files can be totally eliminated. This new infrastructure is called SmartWebResources™. |
WebDesktop.NET 2.0 fully supports SmartWebResources infrastructure. This enables WebGrid control to function perfectly right out-of-the-box after the simple XCOPY deployment.
Both developers and site administrators can now deploy Intersoft's components by simply copying the assemblies in the Bin folder of the project - and totally eliminates the need to copy javascript files, component-specific images and runtime files.
|
As best practice, it is highly recommended to enable SmartWebResources feature for all Intersoft's components especially WebGrid. Furthermore, WebGrid.NET Enterprise 5.0 exclusively requires WebDesktop's SmartWebResources Assembly in order to use some advanced User Interface features in WebGrid such as the new ContextMenu engine and runtime engines for dialog boxes and windowing system. |
