The ASP Store Locator consists of ASP files, which provide the user interface, and Microsoft Visual Basic class files, which are compiled into a DLL (using Visual Basic 6.0 with Service Pack 5) and provide the underlying functionality. The SOAP Toolkit is used to generate a Web Services Meta Language (WSML) file that maps the operations of MapPoint Web Service described in the MapPoint Web Service Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file to specific methods in the COM object (the DLL). The WSML file determines which object to load in order to service the request for each operation.
