	Menu Bar	The ASP.NET Web Matrix Menu Bar is the area displayed across the top of the main ASP.NET Web Matrix window directly below the blue title bar. The Menu Bar includes a set menu titles. Each menu title provides access to a drop-down menu composed of a collection of menu items, or choices.   Menus display a list of commands available to the user. There are several types of menus, including drop-down menus, shortcut menus, and cascading menus.   When you point to a menu title and click the primary mouse button, the menu title is highlighted and the associated drop-down menu appears. When you move the pointer over the menu items, the menu tracks the pointer's movement, highlighting each item in the menu as the pointer moves over it. To choose the command associated with a menu item, point to that item and then click the mouse button. The drop-down menu then closes.   You can also access the drop-down menus by pressing the ALT (or F10) key to activate the Menu Bar. When you press an alphanumeric key while holding the ALT key, or after the ALT key is released, the ASP.NET Web Matrix displays the drop-down menu whose access key matches the alphanumeric key pressed. Note that matching is not case sensitive.
	Standard Toolbar	The ASP.NET Web Matrix Standard Toolbar is the area displayed across the top of the main ASP.NET Web Matrix window directly below the Menu Bar.   A toolbar is a panel that contains a set of controls, designed to provide quick access to specific commands or options.   You can access the controls included in the toolbar using either the mouse or access keys.
	Toolbox	The ASP.NET Web Matrix Toolbox is the area displayed across the left side of the main ASP.NET Web Matrix window directly next to the Document Window. The items available from the Toolbox change depending upon which page designer you are using.   A toolbox is a panel that contains a set of controls and tools you use while designing your Web application. Each set of controls and tools is functionally organized on separate tabs within the Toolbox.   You can select and drag items, text, and controls from the Toolbox onto forms, pages, and designers, and drag items from these sources back into the Toolbox for reuse later. For example, you can drag a Button control from the HTML tab onto a Web page, or select and drag a code fragment from the Document Window and store it on the My Snippets Toolbox tab.
	Document Window	The ASP.NET Web Matrix Document Window is the area displayed in the middle of the main ASP.NET Web Matrix window directly between the Toolbox and the Workspace and Properties Windows.   The Document Window is dynamically created when you open or create files. The list of open document windows appears in the Window menu, with the top-most window listed last.   The Document Window has a tabbed interface, providing you a single access point to up to four different views of a file: Design, HTML, Code and All (consolidation of the HTML and Code tabs). The views (tabs) available in the Document Window change depending upon which page designer you are using.
	Workspace Window	The ASP.NET Web Matrix Workspace Window is the area displayed on the top right of the main ASP.NET Web Matrix window directly above the Properties Window.   The Workspace Window provides you with an organized view of your file system and open files as well as ready access to MSDE and SQL Server data stores.   Use the Workspace Window to navigate to and open ASP.NET Web Matrix files. You can also use the Workspace Window to connect with MSDE and SQL Server database instances, manipulate data and maintain table and stored procedure objects.
	Properties Window	The ASP.NET Web Matrix Properties Window is the area displayed on the bottom right of the main ASP.NET Web Matrix window directly below the Workspace Window.   Properties define the state, behavior, and appearance of an ASP.NET Page, document or control. Most graphical controls contain properties that can be changed to define their visual appearance. Controls, and documents, and ASP.NET Pages can also expose properties that specify how they will interact with the user and the information that they need to operate at run time.   The Properties Window displays different types of editing fields, depending on the needs of a particular property. These edit fields include edit boxes, drop-down lists, and links to custom editor dialog boxes. Properties shown in gray are read-only.   Use the Properties Window to view and change the design-time properties and events of selected objects that are located in editors and designers. You can also use the Properties Window to view and search for .NET Assemblies or access the online Community to search for help.
