For a UNICODE application:
3) Copy the files bridge121_unicode.dll, dyalognet.dll, dyalogc_unicode.exe and dyalogprovider.dll from "Program Files\Dyalog\Dyalog APL 12.1\bin" to c:\myapp\bin
4) Copy the files dyalog121_unicode.dll and dyalog121rt_unicode.dll from "Program Files\Dyalog\Dyalog APL 12.1 Unicode\bin" to c:\myapp\bin

5) Add c:\myapp\bin to the system PATH environment variable.

Version 12.0 (see below for instructions for earlier versions)

1) Use IIS to create a new Application, e.g. 'MyApp' in folder 'c:\myapp'

For a CLASSIC application
3) Copy the files bridge120.dll, dyalognet.dll, dyalogc.exe and dyalogprovider.dll from "Program Files\Dyalog\Dyalog APL 12.0\bin" to c:\myapp\bin
4) Copy the files dyalog120.dll and dyalog120rt.dll from "Program Files\Dyalog\Dyalog APL 12.0 Classic\bin" to c:\myapp\bin

1) Use IIS to create a new Application, e.g. 'MyApp11' in folder 'c:\myapp11'
2) Incorporate the following content into the file c:\myapp11\web.config

Code: Select all

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <!--  DYNAMIC DEBUG COMPILATION
          Set debug="true" to enable debugging and bind to dyalog110.dll.
          Otherwise, setting this value to false will bind to dyalog110rt.dll which will prohibit debugging.
    -->
    <compilation debug="false">
   <compilers>
      <compiler language="dyalog" extension=".dyalog"
                   type="Dyalog.Compiler.DyalogCodeProvider,dyalogprovider,
                   Version=11.0.1.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=eb5ebc232de94dcf"/>
      <compiler language="dyalog" extension=".dws"

   </compilers>
    </compilation>

</configuration>

3) Copy the files bridge110.dll, dyalognet.dll and dyalogprovider.dll to c:\myapp11\bin
4) EITHER
a. Copy the files dyalog 110rt.dll and dyalogc.exe to c:\myapp11\bin
b. Add c:\myapp11\bin to the system PATH environment variable.
5) OR
a. Make a directory c:\dyalog110 and copy the files bridge11.dll, dyalognet.dll dyalog101rt.dll , and dyalogc.exe to c:\dyalog110
b. Add c:\dyalog110 to the system PATH.

Version 10.1
1) Use IIS to create a new Application, e.g. 'MyApp' in folder 'c:\myapp
2) Incorporate the following content into the file c:\myapp\web.config

Code: Select all

          Set debug="true" to enable debugging and bind to dyalog101.dll.
          Otherwise, setting this value to false will bind to dyalog101rt.dll which will prohibit debugging.
    -->
    <compilation debug="false">
   <compilers>
      <compiler language="apl" extension=".apl"

After a series of adventures (with a happy-enough final outcome) I've posted a summary of my early experiences with ASP.NET at http://88.97.16.226/apl/APL/Papers/WebServers.html.

Would like to know of any other experiences with Web Servers besides IIS.
