What are the system requirements?
System requirements are pretty standard:
- Windows hosting with IIS 5+ and Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 installed.
How can I install your software on my server?
Installation process is quite simple. Upload MortgageCalculators directory from this archive to your server then create an ASP.Net application for this directory. That's all, demo project will be available at http://yourdomain.com/MortgageCalculators.
Please, keep in mind, that these files absolutely required and calculators will not work without them:
- bin\MortgageCalculators.dll
- bin\MortgageCalculatorsLibrary.dll
- MortgageCalculators.xsl
After that, you can change HTML and CSS code of the aspnet-calculators.css, Default.aspx and Calculators.aspx files to match your web-site design.
Also you may want to include calculators into your own project. Our mortgage calculators implemented as a standard ASP.Net WebControls library, so, feel free to include it to any ASP.Net project. Optionally, you may want to use design-time support (limited at this time) - just add a new tab to your Visual Studio toolbox and install our library here on a regular basis.
If you experiance any problems, please, contact us (include the error message into the message).
Can I change a color schema?
Yes, you can easily change colors of our mortgage calculators by applying different colors to the CSS file (aspnet-calculators.css), which comes with the calculators pack.
It is possible to create a different visual theme?
Yes, you can create new visual theme, but its not quite easy process - you'll need to rewrite XSL code in MortgageCalculators.xsl file.
How can I change initial values?
You can easily change all initial values like a default home value, default interest rate or default closing cost in the 'Utils\Defaults.cs' file so that you may easily configure initial values for your market, whether you broker loans or sell homes for $100,000 or $10,000,000. At this time, you need to recompile project in order to apply newer values to the calculators.
You may change interest compounding setting and specific culture into the 'Utils\Settings.cs' file. By default, culture is set to 'en-US' and interest compounding calculated on a monthly basis (value 12).
Are there any limitations on the initial values?
Completely no! You can set any initial values you want in the 'Utils\Defaults.cs' file.
Is there are any PDF form generators built into the ASP.Net version?
No, unfortunately there are no PDF form generators built into the ASP.Net version at this moment, but we are working to add them in the future.
