Hi,
all VFP web tools do actually use VFP to execute code. There are several ways:
- Use a COM server that is called from an ASP or ASP.NET document. That's the way ActiveVFP works,
- In the ISAPI instantiate a COM server (or multiple with pool management). This is how the FOXISAPI sample, WebConnection, AFP 2.4 and (I think) FoxWeb work and what ASP does internally.
- Run the VFP application separately and use interprocess communcication like a named pipe. This is how AFP 3 works and what ASP.NET does.
- Run the VFP application with a timer. Have the ISAPI extension create a file with the request, and the VFP part a file with the response. This is what WebConnection does when you run the server in the VFP development environment.
