Licence Agreement
This source code and documentation is supplied for internal use only (in other words, it can only
be used on your own websites). You may not distribute
the source to other companies without permission from Parker Software. The
source code and documentation
may only be used in conjunction with your own copy of WhosOn. The source code
must not be modified to use with other competing products.
Apart from this, you may modify the project in any way you choose. You can
also embed the chat into other applications if required. If you

How To Use
This project is a
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic .NET
Project. You must have Visual Studio 2005 installed, or you can also use the
free
Visual Web Developer. The project uses the
open source AJAX library AJAXPro (this is included with the project files). See
http://www.ajaxpro.info for more
information. The project requires .NET Framework 2.0.
Make sure WhosOn is installed and setup on the PC first.
Unzip the contents to a folder on your C:\ drive. You can now use Visual
Studio to open the project. When debugging, ensure that the WhosOn server is
running.
Once you have modified the project you can deploy it to any web site. Make
sure the virtual directory that you deploy it to is set to use .NET
Framework 2.0. We recommend you run the WhosOn Chat virtual directory in its
own IIS Application Pool.
Please note: We provide the WhosOn Chat Client source code to be used by
experienced developers only. We do not provide Visual Basic training or
support for your modified chat client.
Notes:
- The source is for the chat client only - not the WhosOn
server or Client.
- You are free edit make any changes to the chat client for
your own use only.
- You must not distribute your custom chat client to other
WhosOn users without permission from Parker Software.
- Parker Software does not provide support or training for the
Visual Basic language.
