Microsoft ASP (PopChart)

< BACK TO QUICK START INDEX

These instructions will help you deploy a simple bar graph in an ASP application on your Microsoft IIS server. These instructions are somewhat abbreviated. If you would like a more detailed tutorial, view the ASP Quick Start in the PopChart Getting Started manual.

Quick Start

These instructions assume you are installing Corda Server on a machine running Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). If you are running IIS on a different machine, these instructions may not work, or you may have to make adjustments.

1. Download and Install Corda Server.

Click here to download.

2. Start Corda Builder.

Select Start Menu > Corda 6.0 > Corda Builder (Click Cancel when the Wizard opens).

3. Open the examples/apfiles/bar.pcxml file.

   This example appearance file is installed with PopChart. To open it, select File > Open, then choose ../examples/apfiles/bar.pcxml.

4. Generate sample ASP code for this appearance file.

Select the Sample Code tab from the bottom left corner. Then select ASP (COM Embedder) from the Code for pull-down menu.

5. Save the code as popchart.asp to your web sever.

To save, click on Save Code to File button. Usually, you can save this file to your web server by saving it to C:\inetpub\wwwroot.

6. Start Corda Server.

Select Start Menu > Corda 6.0 > Corda Server.

7. Browse to the popchart.asp file in your web browser.

If you saved the file to the root of your web server, you can browse to it by entering http://localhost/popchart.asp in a browser.

8. You should see a bar graph in your browser.

Now you can customize your graph and connect to data on the fly by editing the popchart.asp file. On our website you'll find a number of example ASP applications, including code for connecting to a database:
