ASNA Mobile RPG® Reference Manual

Developing a Mobile Display File

An ASNA Mobile RPG application is essentially a web site tied to programs on the IBM i. The site contains Mobile RPG ASPX files that represent enhanced Display Files used by the IBM i RPG application. To start a new ASNA Mobile RPG application open the "New Web Site" dialog in Visual Studio. In the dialog, select your preferred programming language from Visual RPG, C#, or Visual Basic, and then select the ASNA Mobile RPG Web Site template. Select the location for your web site and press OK. After a few seconds the starting web site will be ready. The other topics in this section provide more detail about creating and customizing a web site within the Mobile RPG Design Aid.
