Note: This feature works with .NET managed code only.
This release offers Web Application Project templates for creating COBOL Web applications and Web sites and applications. The benefits of using a Web Application project include:
- A Web Application project includes a project file which enables you to specify what files are part of the project and should be compiled.
- It adds namespaces for all items of the project.
- The source code is compiled into a single assembly on your local machine and is then deployed to the IIS server. You don’t have to deploy the code behind.
- A Web Application project includes a “Publish” option for deploying the compiled assembly to an IIS server directly from the IDE using the automated tools of Visual Studio.
- Supports the Visual Studio Code Analysis feature.
