PowerBuilder 11.2 top feature picks

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 0.8) and that includes PocketBuilder and InfoMaker too. I need to thank the people at Sybase for continuing to let me test drive their new code. I must either be a good tester or someone who loves being a guinea pig...maybe I can get a TV show – but that slot might be taken. I just tell people I love punishment and hey, what else is there to do in Canada in winter, especially this year here in Ottawa with 425cm of snow in February and March.
And now, on to my picks! Top Feature #1 – AJAX Support The important property then is the “PBWebControlSource” parameter that specifies the Web control set to use, either Microsoft IE Web controls (IE) or the new Telrik RadControls (RAD). Changing this property value from IE to RAD is all you need to do initially. However, there are also some new Project properties worth noting that will assist the application as shown in Table 1. I like to change the default AJAX message to be a little more user friendly and of course in Canada, we require support to control this value since our users can request that the application work in French as well. If you like, you can disable this entire progress message feature all together by setting the value to empty (“”). The DataWindow has also been enhanced to take advantage of the AJAX world. New properties like PagingMethod in the Web Generation tab let you specify XMLClientSide! That’s them optimized by PB/AJAX to reduce Web server round-trips for DataWindow and DropDownDataWindow activities when paging through data. PBDJ LATEST STORIES . . .
