.NET targets

.NET Web Forms Application wizard

The .NET Web Forms Application wizard eases the task of deploying new or existing PowerBuilder client-server applications to the Web and allows you to use your PowerBuilder skills to create new Web applications that use ASP.NET technology.

.NET Windows Forms Application wizard

The .NET Windows Forms Application wizard builds a target that deploys a PowerBuilder application as a .NET Windows Forms application. Applications that have a rich user interface that relies on resources available on the client computer, such as a complex MDI design, graphics, or animations, or that perform intensive data entry or require a rapid response time, make good candidates for deployment as PowerBuilder .NET Windows Forms applications.

One of the choices you can make in the wizard is whether the application will be deployed as a smart client application. A smart client application can work either online (connected to distributed resources) or offline, and can take advantage of “intelligent update” technology for deployment and maintenance.

.NET Web Service and .NET Assembly wizards

The PowerBuilder .NET Web Service and .NET Assembly wizards build targets that deploy PowerBuilder custom class user objects as .NET Web services or assemblies.
