Overview › ASP.NET Web Client Environments

ASP.NET Web Client Environments

The following five environments are involved in ASP.NET Web Client generation, and these environments can be located on one machine or five physically separate machines:

• Server environment

  The CA Gen runtime is installed for generated server applications. No special setup is required for ASP.NET Web Client applications.

• Application Server environment

  The runtime engine and application logic for the client is installed on an Internet Information Services (IIS) Application Server, which enables CA Gen to run the generated ASP.NET Web Client application.

• Development environment

  The CA Gen Toolset provides the environment to develop and generate CA Gen ASP.NET Web Client applications. This environment contains the components that generate the application both locally and remotely. The client Server Encyclopedia can also be used to generate ASP.NET applications.

• Build environment

  This environment enables the generated files from the CA Gen Development environment to be compiled and packaged into an MSI file. The CA Gen Build environment is often located on the same machine as the CA Gen Development environment.

• End user environment

  This environment enables end users to access CA Gen ASP.NET Web client applications through an Internet Explorer browser.
