Overview

The Web Application Tree View is a .NET custom control which displays all the web applications installed on a particular IIS server. If a default document has been defined for a particular application, the node where it is displayed can be clicked, and the application displayed.

This control is derived from the TreeView control supplied in the Microsoft IE WebControls download. It allows all the visual customisation that is provided by the Microsoft control, and is self-populating.

This control was originally designed for internal use so that developers did not need to create and maintain an index page for their web applications. It was also deemed a useful resource for site administrators, enabling them to have an up-to-date view of the web applications installed on their servers, and to be able to quickly navigate to them.
