application Element

In Manifest.xml specifies application name and Start Page for an ASP.NET speech application.

<manifest>
  <application>

<application>
  name="name of the ASP.NET Speech application"
  frontpage="Start Page filename"
</application>

Attributes

Attribute	Description
name	Initially generated from the file name specified in the New Project dialog box, this setting can be used by the Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) administrator to allocate Speech Engine Services (SES) resources for a particular application. Unless the administrator creates a custom engine configuration using this application name, resources for this application will be loaded into the Default engine configurations matching the corresponding resourceset type.
frontpage	Specifies the application Start Page. Default.aspx is the default Start Page, generated by the Speech Web Application Project Wizard, and is generally used as a starting point when building the application.

Remarks

The application element also contains the resourceset element.

Default values for most manifest elements are pre-populated with file names and options specified when running the Speech Web Application Wizard. These include application name, frontpage, and src attribute. Providing meaningful names when running the wizard helps the system administrator identify application resources later, in the deployment environment.

For more information, see:

Using the Project Wizard to Add Grammar Files to a New Project

Using the Project Wizard to Add a Prompt Project

Additionally, the file is pre-populated with an entry (resourceset element) for each type of speech engine that might be used by the application: TelephonyRecognizer or MultiModalRecognizer for recognition engines, and Voice for prompt, or speech output engines.

The values for the resourceset element correspond to engine configuration settings in the MSS environment. When the application is deployed, these entries must match the configuration settings or the application may not run as expected.

For more information, see Creating a New Engine Configuration in the MSS help file, MSS.chm.

Example

The following example specifies the application name myApplication and the Start Page Default.aspx.

<manifest>
  <application>
    name="myApplication"
    frontpage="Default.aspx"
    ...
    ...
  </application>
</manifest>
