Configuring Project Settings

Each CodeCharge Studio project requires certain parameters to generate the proper programming code. Here you specify the general project parameters

• Code Language

  The Code Language specifies the type of the programming code that you will generate from your project to create the web application. The currently available programming languages are:

  • ASP 3.0 with Templates: Generates ASP 3.0 (VBScript) programs that use separate .html files as templates during run-time.
  • ASP.Net C#: Generates .aspx files with C# code.
  • ASP.Net VB: Generates .aspx files with VB code.
  • CFML 4.0.1: Generates ColdFusion 4.0.1 code.
  • CFML 4.0.1 with Templates: Generates ColdFusion 4.0.1 code (.cfm) and separate .html template files.
  • JSP 1.1 JDK 1.3: Generates JSP 1.1 code.
  • PHP 4.0 with Templates: Generates PHP 4.0 code (.php) and separate .html template files.
  • PERL 5.0 with Templates: Generates PERL 5.0 code and separate .html template files.
  • Servlets 2.2 JDK 1.3 with Templates: Generates Java Servlet code that utilizes .html templates.
• Site Language

  The Site Language is the spoken language to use when generating text messages for the site. For example, the text No records that appears when no more records are to be displayed within a grid could be generated in any one of the supported languages.

  These translations can be edited with an XML editor and are stored in the file (CodeChargeStudio Root)\Components\Translations\Site\(language).xml, for example:

  .../CodeChargeStudio\Components\Translations\Site\English.xml
  .../CodeChargeStudio\Components\Translations\Site\Deutsch.xml

• File Encoding
  The File Encoding specifies the character set encoding that will be used for saving program files, such as .php, .asp, .aspx, etc.
  For more information please refer to International Character Sets and File Encodings.
• Default HTML Encoding
  The Default HTML Encoding specifies the default encoding for the HTML pages ( templates), and will be used to create the initial META declaration for new pages. However, the META declarations of any HTML page can be modified to utilize a different encoding.

  It is recommended to set the Default HTML Encoding to the same value as the File Encoding.

  For more information please refer to International Character Sets and File Encodings.

• Date Display Format

  The Date Display Format is the default format of the dates shown on the web pages generated by CodeCharge Studio (e.g., if you display the employee hiring date on a page). You can also select a generic date format, such as Short Date or Long Date, which are specific to the web server on which the web application executes.

• Boolean Format

  The Boolean Format specifies the default format, or rather the text that will be displayed on a page, when presenting Boolean values. For example, you may store the Active status in a database table as Yes/No (e.g., MS Access) or True/False format, but you want to display specific text on a grid that shows such values, for example Active/Inactive, or Yes/(blank). You can select the appropriate Boolean format from the list, or enter your own format in the form of two comma separated values (e.g. Active;Inactive or Yes;).

• Home Page

  The Home Page specifies the main page of your web application, which you can later launch with the F7 key or from the menu with Project | Home Page. The specified home page will then be generated, published, and opened within CodeCharge Studio in Live Page mode.

• Project Path

  The Project Path specifies the current location of the project and its file name. This is for informational purposes and cannot be edited from this dialog.
