SDK Samples

Server Appliance Kit

Included on the Microsoft Server Appliance Kit (SAK) CD-ROM are a number of samples that illustrate how to build applications using the SAK frameworks. The SDK folder on the CD-ROM contains three folders.

  • The Chime folder contains a complete application that demonstrates how to develop a variety of Web user interface (UI) elements that can be used to configure the application. For more information, see Chime sample application.

  • The Volmgmt folder contains code samples that an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can use as a template for developing an application to manage disks and volumes through a Web UI. You can install the sample code to see how it works by running installvolmgmt.cmd in this folder. Once you have installed this sample, you cannot uninstall it.

  • Six folders in the Webui folder contain additional samples of how to use a particular feature in your application.

    Folder Description
    Alerts Shows how to add an alert to the status page of the Web UI.
    Hello world Contains samples that illustrate how to create Web content using progressively more complex examples.
    Localize Demonstrates how to access localized Web content in your application.
    OTS Shows how to create an object/task selector page that displays a list of objects and a list of tasks associated with those objects.
    Resources Illustrates how to display current system resource information on the status page of the Web UI.
    Templates Provides simple templates you can use as the starting point for developing Web UI elements for your application.

    To see how the WebUI samples work, you can install each of the samples by running install.cmd in the folder containing the sample. To uninstall a sample, run uninstall.cmd in the same folder.

Another folder in Webui, named Debug, contains a file that can help you troubleshoot your Web UI add-in. For more information, see Debugging.
