Provware Development Update

It’s been a few weeks since I uploaded the first drop of Provware, so I thought I’d give everyone an update on what I’ve been working on. 

New Features:

  • Commented all public methods
  • Documentation is now being built using Sandcastle!
  • Added to WebServer class: DeleteSite
  • Added to Site class: Start, Stop, DeleteVirtualDirectory
  • Increased performance of loading a “webServer” (when you have lots of sites) by only loading “partial” information.  This will still allow you to bind to a given site by name, but not have to wait a long time for the entire class structure to fully populate.
  • Tons of work in the Web Portal component.  I’m making it more of a web based control panel (not focused on a “hoster” CP, but more of a general Web UI for IIS Management…but more)

I hope to have the next release out soon.  No dedicated date yet, but perhaps faster if I hear some demand.  (please….demand away!)

Other features that “might” make the next build

  • Copy Site – Copy a site from one web server to another.  With an option to also move the content (not the permissions just yet)
  • Backup Web Server metabase - using built in IIS feature, but making the call easier to get to
  • Enable ASP.NET – This will allow you to enable,disable ASP.NET 1.1 or 2.0 via a single property change!!!

I would like to express my gratitude for you developing this framework as it has proved to be essential in my development of a managed code Web Hosting Control Panel.

Any news on the updated version?
