BusinessRules Server Control

The BusinessRules server control allows you to add a Business Rule created in the Workarea to a Web form. It also allows you to add a place holder for a Business Rule. Then, a Ektron CMS400.NET administrator can create a business rule at a later date.

For an explanation of Business Rules and how they work, see Creating Business Rules for Your Web Site.
