Internet Service Manager (ISM)

The main application is used to control the loading of each configuration DLL. When the application first starts, the ISM performs the following tasks:

  1.  Reads the registry to load preference settings and discover which extension DLLs it needs to load.

  2.  Loads and initializes each configuration DLL. The configuration DLL is queried on what type of service it is and what actions it supports.

  3.  Discovers what configurable services are installed on the local machine and adds them to the default view.

  4.  Awaits the user s action. Optionally, the ISM may discover available configurable services on the network.
