Moving Webform App to Appeon (12.5/2015)

Greeting all,

I would like to convert an existing webform based reporting application to Appeon.

I have had it running for several years and it works fine except for the fact that we are upgrading our browsers to IE 11, so I have to attend to this.

The code below shows that I am using MapVirtualPath to keep track of where I am saving the file for each user in their session directory.

How does this work in Appeon?  Do I do a simple SAVEAS and Appeon automatically keeps track of where the file is so I can add it as an attachment?

Also, am I prevented from using DOTNET code to send the email and must I use Roland's code (not that I have a problem with it, Roland    ) or can I continue to deploy system.dll and keep this code in place?

Also, are there other advantages where maybe now in Appeon, I can saveas excel and not lose my calculated fields (which I hate) and not have to save the file as HTML?

Can I offer up a download dialogue so the user can simply click to save the document on their desktop?

Thanks all!!

Paul
