PowerBuilder Decompiler Artikel im PBDJ publiziert

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:12:00 EDT

The New Generation of Decompilers

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:00:00 EDT

The latest development technologies rely on intermediate languages and can be decompiled. PowerBuilder is no exception. In this article, we will address the risks posed by decompilers. We will also discuss what can be done to protect against the possible negative results of decompilation – whether you create in-house applications, commercial applications, or are using these applications for your business.

PowerBuilder .NET Web Services with Various Front Ends

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:10:00 EST

Last year I wrote an article in PBDJ describing an ASP.NET project that was done with DataWindow.NET in the browser ("Prognos," Volume 14, Issue 4) and PowerBuilder Web Services in the back end. The front end consisted of an intro page, two data entry pages, and one page with the result. The front end was rewritten in a couple of other technologies to test different ways to create browser-based applications.

Prognos with DataWindow.NET 2.0 and PowerBuilder 11 Web Services

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:30:00 EDT

The current version runs with DataWindow.NET 2.0 and uses PowerBuilder 11 Web Services. To keep the installation slim it uses no database; instead the data is stored in DataWindows or XML files. Prognos makes use of AJAX techniques and accesses .NET classes from PowerBuilder for XML handling. Since it's used in Switzerland (which has four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh) it's multilingual.

PowerBuilder - The ClassDefinition Object

Fri, 19 May 2006 11:15:00 EDT

In the first article we presented a some theories about the ClassDefinition object and were able to show the libraries of a PB application in a treeview control. This month we'll read the objects from the libraries and inspect their content. When a user expands an entry in the treeview, we check to see if it was expanded once already. If it was, we don't take any action.

The ClassDefinition Object

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 11:00:00 EST

The ClassDefinition object was introduced in PowerBuilder 6.0 a long time ago. It allows you to retrieve information for an object at runtime. Most of us didn't pay too much attention to this object and it only attracts our attention when we see it in the debugger.

Taking PowerBuilder's PBDOM Out for a Spin

Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:00 EST

So you think, 'Why bother using PBDOM?' Well, you can use PDOM to manipulate elements in an XML document. That means you can move elements in a document or from one document to another. You can add elements to a document or delete them from a document. And, with a little coding, you can import nested XML data into a DataWindow.

Encryption in PowerBuilder

Wed, 01 Dec 2004 00:00:00 EST

Keeping information away from curious eyes is a challenging task. For example, you might need to encrypt data before sending it over the Internet. Or you might be storing some information in a database that not even an administrator is allowed to see.

Using MS MapPoint in PowerBuilder

Fri, 01 Oct 2004 00:00:00 EDT

Why should you use GIS (Geographic Information System) data in PowerBuilder? You can plan a route for a service technician or a sales person. You can track the positions of the trucks delivering goods and it might allow you to direct a truck to an additional pick up close to its route. You can print driving directions when heading to an unknown place.
