Version
1.0
This ASP component (COM object) reads PAD files, the
XML based documents that describe published shareware
and freeware, and extracts information about software
products. It can be used to build a software download
site by reading the description of software provided
by software authors. Files can be read from a remote
URL using an HTTP get function, or from a user browser
upload as well as from a local disk. The list of PAD
files stored in the Association of Shareware
Professionals PAD Repository can also be read by this
component, giving access to details of tens of
thousands of software products. As a COM object it can
be used in a wide range of Windows based development
environments including ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion,
Visual Basic and Delphi. The component is free to use.
