</a><h3>When to Use ADPs</h3>
<p><a name="13697">
</a>ADPs are ideal in situations where you want to generate all or part of a specific page dynamically. You can re-use code by storing Tcl scripts in Tcl libraries and invoking them from within multiple ADPs. You can also include files and parse other ADPs from within your ADPs.</p>
<p><a name="13698">
</a>Here are some examples of applications you can use ADPs for:</p>
<ul><li>Returning HTML conditionally (see <a href="tadp-c11.htm#16742">page 14</a> and <a href="tadp-c11.htm#16767">page 15</a>)<a name="13699">
</a>
<p><li>Retrieving information from a database to use in a page (see <a href="tadp-c11.htm#16804">page 16</a>)<a name="13700">
</a>
<p><li>Inserting information from a form into a database (see <a href="tadp-c11.htm#16856">page 18</a>)<a name="13701">
</a>
<p></ul>
