When we last left off, we
had a functional shell of
an application. We had a
menu that would open our
five different sheets
(Controls, Users,
Messages, Menus, and
Contacts); we had the
shell of those five
sheets themselves; we had
some basic shared
functionality w...
As I was reviewing my
previous 'state of the
application' and began to
work toward a basic
application shell, I
realized that there was
some additional code that
I needed to write.
The purpose of these
articles is not a
tutorial with
step-by-step instructions
but a guide to assist in
the design and
development process. Our
goal is to help new
developers get started in
the right direction and
to avoid pitfalls. This

Now that we understand
workspaces and targets,
we can start to get a
feel for what type of
infrastructure we want to
use for our application.
As I mentioned in my last
column (PBDJ, Vol. 12,
issue 7), we need to
answer some questions
regarding standards and
frameworks. 
When Bruce Armstrong
contacted me about
writing a PowerBuilder
Beginner's column I
agreed almost
immediately. The reason
for this is that there
are many existing
PowerBuilder applications
in production and their
original developers have
moved to other positions

Welcome to a new column
in PBDJ. In this column,
we'll discuss all things
'new' in PowerBuilder -
from keys to success in
starting new projects to
tips and techniques you
need to know to features
in the latest, and
upcoming, releases of the
product. 
Two of the biggest
launches in Rich Internet
Application history took
place in 2007/2008 when
Adobe launched AIR 1.0 in
February '08 and
Microsoft launched
Silverlight (September
'07). At the 6th

Sybase has just released
the latest version of its
premier .NET development
tool in PowerBuilder
version 11.2. I am proud
to say that I haven't
missed a beta since
November 1989 (version

Sybase for co
In PowerBuilder 11.2,
.NET meets J2EE head-on
with the capability to

and Web Forms
applications (as well as
assemblies and Web
Services) that access
Enterprise JavaBeans
(EJBs) in Sybase's own
EAServer. As you'll see
over the course of this

HarPB is a specialized
utility for checking
PowerBuilder source
objects in and out of

handles the special
requirements of checking
objects out to

(PBLs) and checking

These operations are

Back in 2002, Sybase
announced their
four-phase approach
toward adding .NET
support to PowerBuilder.
Phase 1 was the
implementation of web
services in PB9 and Phase
2 was the release of
DataWindow.NET, which was
packaged with PB 10.
Phases 3 and 4 were the
more significant phases.

I have been asked many
times by various clients,
students, and the IT
curious about
PowerBuilder: When did
Sybase develop the
product and how did it
evolve? I keep telling
this story and answering
e-mails on the subject. I
am now to the point where
I have decided that I
