System functions specific for .NET Web Forms applications allow you to open the various managers for Web Forms applications, obtain global configuration settings, download files for viewing or printing by the application user, and upload files to the Web server.

You must surround calls to these system functions in a conditional compilation block for .NET Web Forms. These functions cannot be used with standard PowerBuilder client-server applications.

Functionality for downloading and uploading files is also available from the File Manager. The Print Manager allows application users to view files printed to the Web server in PDF format. You can enable the managers through global properties or by calling Web Forms system functions.
