EasyDotNet - DataForm.NET V3.4 Developer Guide
Integrate DataForm.NET into your applications

After installing DataForm.NET, there is a default DataForm.NET Manager at http://localhost/DataFormNet, the physical path usually is C:\inetput\wwwroot\DataFormNet. If you want to use DataForm.NET Manager and DataForms in your web application, please follow three steps below:

  1. Open "C:\inetput\wwwroot\DataFormNet" folder.
  2. Copy "DataForm","EasyDotNet" and "bin" folders to the root folder of your application. "EasyDotNet" and "bin" must be at the root, while "DataForm" folder can be copied to anywhere in your application.
  3. Grant ASPNET user read/write privilege on "EasyDotNet" folder.  ASPNET user must have read/write privilege(See Figure(1)). But no read/write privilege in IIS Admin console on XML files in this folder to prevent DataForm's XML files from being downloaded(See Figure(2)).

However, "DataForm" folder where DataForm.NET Manager locates is not necessary at the runtime because it is used to design and manage DataForms. "bin" folder is also not necessary if both "EasyDotNet.DataFormManager.dll" and "EasyDotNet.Web.dll" have been registered in GAC(Global Assembly Cache). These two dll are registered into GAC if you install DataForm.NET by MSI file. You can register them manually.

"EasyDotNet" folder is always necessary.
