Introduction

This SDK is for administrators, Web masters, and developers who want to enhance the capabilities of the Citrix Web Interface. Customizations range from visual modifications to an installed copy of the Web Interface to building a custom solution directly using Web Interface SDK classes.
This document supplements the Web Interface Administrator's Guide . Before you get started, ensure you have read the guide, even if you are familiar with previous versions of the Web Interface.

What's New in this Release

The following features are new in this release.

• Support for Citrix Streaming Clients : This version of the Web Interface includes support for the Citrix Streaming Client.
• Access Platform sites : In previous versions of the Web Interface, browser-based access to published resources was provided by MetaFrame Presentation Server sites. In recognition of the fact that the Web Interface can now be used in conjunction with both Citrix Presentation Server and Citrix Streaming Server, these sites are now called Access Platform sites.
• Site layout : The layout of the files and folders which comprise a Web Interface site has changed. Files that are not directly accessible from a browser have been moved to a folder named app_data on ASP.NET platforms (WEB-INF on JSP platforms). See Understanding Web Interface Installed Files.
• Web Interface API : Backward compatibility with the Web Interface 4.0 API has been maintained in this release. However, some APIs have been marked as deprecated and a small number of new APIs or extensions to existing APIs have been added. Existing objects are enhanced with new interfaces that support additional functionality.
