Creating Content

Pseudo Top Level Domain:

The installation process creates a directory called PAspPages at the root of the device. The directories contained in \PAspPages are treated as top level domains, or roots, of a total site.

Before adding any pages, first create your own site directory in PAspPages (for example the installation process adds one called ModeZero, which contains the demo pages).

Adding Pages:

It is recommended that pages are initially developed on the PC, as this is much quicker than typing on the Pocket PC and more comprehensive error/debug information will be provided by IIS when processing ASP pages.

When the pages are ready for testing on the Pocket PC, download them into the appropriate site directory (\PAspPages\<your-site>). Open Pocket IE and type the url as follows:

     pasp://<your-site>/<your-page>

and the page will be displayed. Links within pages can be both relative or absolute.
