Sometimes it is useful to know the details of the WebMenu DLL being used in your ASP page. This is especially true when you have multiple versions of the DLL on your machine. To help you determine which version is being loaded in your application, we created a diagnostic page that loads the control in the background and displays information about the DLL being bound to the page.

To run this test page, unzip and place the file in your web application's root folder. Then, view the page through your web browser. The details of the DLL being used will be display in the text box at the top of the page.

If needed, you can also determine the location of the DLL on your machine. To obtain this information it is necessary to view the system registry.

For WebMenu 7.0, the default value of the following registry key contains the full path to the DLL:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{12D38C4E-6A6B-11D0-A74C-444553540000}\InprocServer32

When running a DLL in your production environment, it is a good practice to make sure the DLL is properly licensed. This can be determined by looking for the phrase "Licensed" in the About property displayed on the diagnostic page. The four possible states displayed and their meaning are:

• "Evaluation" - evaluation DLL under 30 days of usage.

• "Expired" - evaluation DLL over 30 days of usage.

• "No License" - licensed DLL with no registration key installed.

• "Licensed" - licensed DLL with registration key installed.

It is important to understand that the evaluation DLL will not accept your registration key, and it will expire. Only the licensed DLL obtained from the licensed download of the product will accept your registration key and should be used in production environments.
