A Web developer can use server-side scripting languages, such as MS VB script and JScript, to perform application processing directly on the Web server. With Active Server Pages, a Web developer can build dynamic Web applications with advanced state management, server-side scripting, and server components. MS Visual InterDev also supports client-side scripting languages, such as VBScript, JScript, and ActiveX controls. MS Visual InterDev uses powerful database development tools with ODBC-based databases. ADO provides flexible and scalable database connectivity within MS Visual InterDev applications.
ADO provides an object-based approach to data access over the Web.
ADO allows manipulation of database-defined data types retrieved from databases and dynamically written into Web pages. However, doing update via Data Form Wizard is still under investigation. Its concept is to look at the site with a top-down view, by mapping the site and determining style first, then constructing each page subsequently. Fusion supports site management, HTML editor, and some feature of database connectivity. Other key features include Site Import, MasterBorders, AutoFrames, Assest View, and Style View.
