Install the Custom Label Generator toolkit

Prerequisites

Creating a Custom Label Generator requires access to:

• Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET 2010 or Visual Web Developer® 2010 Express for C# and VB.NET examples.
• Optional Microsoft® .NET 4.0 for C# and VB.NET examples.

Install

The toolkit is available from the Downloads page. It includes:

• ASP Example (folder)
• C# Example (folder)
• Label Request Http Poster (folder)
• PHP Example (folder)
• VB.NET Example (folder)
• Sample Pierbridge Label Request.xml
• Sample Pierbridge Ship Response.xml

You need to create an IIS application for your Custom Label Generator:

1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Expand Sites, then right-click on Default Web Site and click Add Application.
3. In the Alias box, type a name that clients can use to access content from a web browser, for example, /Custom Label Generator.
4. Click Select to change the Application Pool. This should be the same Application Pool as the product. The credentials for the Application Pool will be used to access the Custom Label Generator so it must have the appropriate permission to access.
5. In the Physical Path box, type or navigate to the physical path where the application content is stored. The content can reside on the local computer or come from a remote share. If your content is stored on the local computer, enter the physical path, such as C:\Content. If your content is stored in a remote share, enter the UNC path, such as \\Server\Share. Optionally, click Connect as to provide credentials for an account that is authorized to access content in the physical path.
The system should be configured with the appropriate Custom Label Generator URL. This is done via the Administration App Data > Reference Data > Custom Labels. The chosen Custom Label Generator can be executed as soon as the configuration has been completed and implementation-specific components have been installed.
