Before you make a decision on which product to use you might want to check out CA Transforge - which is supposed to convert ABF code to OpenRoad code. Cost of transforge depends on the lines of code to convert - i'm aware of a company called EspritIT in Sydney Australia that have used Transforge and there thoughts on the product are worth a listen to. You can contact them via CA Australia or Andrew Pilcher CA New Zealand. best of luck "Andrew Wilson" <bluemalov_NOSPAM_ (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Piotr.Wisniewski (AT) breat (DOT) com.pl> wrote in message news:2BF9843FE765D311AAFE0008C70D6F4B0169DF33 (AT) BOF1PROCJON (DOT) .. Hello, I'd like to know what is better for GUI development against ingres db: VisualBasic under .net or OpenRoad 4.1 I would personly recommend C# (or VB.Net - they are after all just syntatic sugar for the CLR to suck on, which means just choose the language type of your choice [Delphi.Net is now released, if you prefer pascal syntax, and maybe CA will even release OpenRoad.Net]). As I listed in an unrelated thread - SOME of the reasons I like .Net ... - Microsoft version has the best IDE I have ever come across (Visual Studio.Net). - Almost no difference between forms based and internet based development. - MS version totally automates many features, including web services. - Enables very fast development times, thus reducing development costs. - It can run on any platform (open source version - http://www.go-mono.com/). - .Net/C# are open standards (ECMA and ISO - http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/ecma/). - Is object orientated (Software reusability is very important to me - I hate reinventing the wheel). - Standards are backed by a variety of major software houses and computer companies. - Many opensource development efforts are under way (http://sourceforge.net). - If a new langauge becomes the vogue, it can be ported to .Net and previous development will not be wasted. |
