Project structure
With ASPRunnerPro, you can save all your settings in a single
project file and do not have to go through individual files if you
simply need to change a single label or field format.
For each project ASPRunnerPro saves to its own directory with
the following subdirectories:
-
visual - Contains modified visual templates.
- tmp - Temporary storage of visual
templates.
- output - Directory with output files. You can
change or rename the Output directory.
The default directory for a new project is C:/Documents and Settings/Name/My
Documents/ASPRunnerProjects/project_name. The Project file
will be saved in the project directory as project_name.aspr.
When you open a project created with a previous version of
ASPRunnerPro, you are prompted to choose a project directory. After
you select a directory, your project file is copied to it. Then the
next time you open your project it will be from the folder you
selected, not from the original location.
If you upload files to the Web server using third party FTP
client software, you must upload the entire contents of the output
directory.
When you make a backup of your project, you should include all
files in the project directory together with all subdirectories. At
a minimum, you should backup the project file itself along with all
files in the visual directory.
Click the Project
button and select from the drop down list to open an existing
project or to save the current one.
Creating new project

are shipped with ASPRunnerPro.
Opening an existing
project
To open existing project or save a current one, click the
Project button any
time.
Saving a project
If you want to save the current project under a different name -
for example, development purposes or to create a backup - select
the Save Project As
option. A new project directory will be created and all necessary
project files will be copied to it.
 Note: ASPRunnerPro creates a new project
automatically upon startup.
Saving your project as a
Template
You can save your project as a template.
In this case, your database along with your project file and all
files you have edited with the visual editor will be saved.
Note: Save Project As
Template option is available only for those projects that
have been built using MS Access database (MySql).
While saving Project As Template you need to type in the
template name you wish your project to be saved under. The template
will be saved in the Business Templates Directory (by default in
C:\Program
Files\ASPRunnerPro6.1\templates\business).
Note: After your template is saved, you
can add files that are not generated by ASPRunnerPro to the
template directory.
After that saved Template will be available on the list of
templates when you create a new project.
You can also add a thumbnail image to the template that will be
displayed on templates list. Place an image named preview.gif (JPG and PNG formats are
supported also) to template folder. Image size should be
130x97.
Add template to the
project
You can create new project using two templates or add a template
to existing project. To aviod replacing template tables with
existing all ASPRunnerPro business templates (tables and files)
have prefix.
