PowerBuilder 12 Makes Microsoft .NET Application Development Faster, Easier, and
More Cost Effective
Sybase Delivers
efficient migration from Win32 to .NET, Native Support for Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF) and Seamless Support for the .NET
Framework
DUBLIN, CALIF. —
APRIL 20, 2010 — Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), an industry leader in delivering
enterprise and mobile software, today announced the availability of
Sybase® PowerBuilder® 12. This latest generation of
Sybase's award-winning rapid application development tool empowers developers
with the easiest, fastest and most cost-effective path to create or migrate
their business applications on the Microsoft® .NET Framework, for
thoroughly modern and visually appealing application user
experiences.
"For years, Sybase
PowerBuilder has remained a bastion of application development productivity for
a wide class of enterprise applications that combine heavy database orientation
with a highly productive graphical user interface (GUI)," said Al Hilwa, program
director for IDC's Application Development Software research. "The direction
that PowerBuilder has taken to become a seamless Windows® .NET
environment with the Visual Studio shell incorporated into its infrastructure
means that the product can now be considered equally for evolving existing
systems and for developing new ones for traditional Windows 32 environments and
for .NET." ¹
The new Sybase
PowerBuilder 12 architecture works with Microsoft's Visual Studio infrastructure
to deliver the highest level of application development productivity for
PowerBuilder developers on the .NET Framework. PowerBuilder 12 still requires
only about five lines of code – instead of hundreds in another language – to
access powerful business logic using its patented DataWindow®
technology. With the DataWindow now re-written in C#, PowerBuilder 12 also
produces managed code and natively supports Microsoft WPF, giving developers
even more productivity, flexibility, and security. Also, it is the only product
that allows customers to leverage their existing Win32® code and
seamlessly migrate to the .NET Framework, saving the expense and complexities of
re-writing.
"PowerBuilder 12 is
one of the most significant releases in the product's history, enabling new and
existing PowerBuilder developers to deliver RIA, Web, mobile and desktop .NET
applications via end-to-end managed code" said David Tong, vice president of
Engineering, Sybase. "We are continually investing in and evolving PowerBuilder
to increase developer productivity. Version 12 cements Sybase's lead in
supporting .NET with comprehensive language and migration support, and positions
us to more rapidly adopt Microsoft advancements to the .NET
platform."
