ASP.NET, "Enable Customer Reviews," by Fabio Claudio Ferracchiati [Visual Studio Magazine, August 2003]


You have to unzip the ReviewEx.zip file into a folder and then select the Properties menu from the context menu. In the Properties dialog box choose Web Sharing tab and select the Share the web radio button. Press ok until you close the dialog box.

Copy the 1.xml file into root of the C: drive.

Open Internet Explorer and type the http://localhost/ReviewEx URL in the address bar.

The ReviewCtrl.zip archive file contains the ASP.NET component code. I used Visual Studio .NET 2003 Final Beta edition to create it. You can easily use the Visual Studio .NET 2002 version creating a Web Form component project, remove the generated files and insert the files within the project.
