Hi Derek,
A better way for VFP/COM/Web development:
Place the COM component in a COM+ Application environment. This way you can
control what credentials are used to run the COMponent without setting that
credentials on the website.
Then in your build program:
*- Shutdown COM+ app
lcAppName = "MyCom+ApplicationName"
objCatalog = CREATEOBJECT("COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog")
objCatalog.ShutDownApplication(lcAppName)
That way the DLL is released without shutting down the entire website.
Another cool feature:
Install the COM component in COM+ on the server (let's say data-server)
where the VFP data files are stored.
Then export that application from COM+ into an Application Proxy and then
install that proxy on the web-server
The web server will the call the COM component as if it's local. COM+ will
then take care of the communication of the requests and responses to the
actual implementation on the data-server. It's like a DCOM call, but with
better configuration options.

Subject: rebuilding quickly for IIS-loaded COM objects/web services
Hi. Usually when I develop COM objects/web services in VFP, I have to
do an 'iisreset' before each build, as IIS holds on to the VFP COM
object. I found a quicker solution to this that can easily put in a
quick prg along with the build commands-- or use a project hook:
* replace 'virtualdir' with the name of your virtual directory
o = GetObject("IIS://localhost/w3svc/1/Root/virtualdir")
o.appunload()
This will greatly speed up my iterative development process, and
thought I'd share this tid-bit in case anyone else is wasting time the
same way I was...
