  • FoxISAPI Automation Server Samples
    Visual FoxPro includes an ISAPI extension called Foxisapi.dll that creates an instance of a Visual FoxPro automation server and then calls a method on that server that returns HTML. The FoxISAPI extension makes it possible for you to access Visual FoxPro custom Automation servers from any ISAPI supported Web server, such as Microsoft Internet Information Server and Microsoft Personal Web Server.
  • Gopher Automation Server Sample
    This example simulates a smart search business object, which locates a customer that might be contained in one of many different databases.
