Creating a .NET Windows Forms Project

You can create a project to deploy the application in the target wizard or by using the .NET Windows Forms wizard on the Project page of the New dialog box.

1. On the Specify Project Information page, specify the name of the project and the library in which the project object will be saved.
2. On the Specify Application General Information page, optionally specify a product name for the application.

   This can be different from the name of the application and is used as the name of the product on the General page in the Project painter.

   You can also specify the name of the .NET Windows Forms executable file (by default, this is the name of the application object with the extension .exe) and the major and minor versions and build and revision numbers for the current build (the default is 1.0.0.0).

3. On the Specify Win32 Dynamic Library Files page, click Add to specify the names of any dynamic libraries required by your application.

   The list is prepopulated with the names of libraries referenced in the application’s code.

4. On the Specify Support for Smart Client page, select the check box if you want to publish the application as a smart client. Otherwise, click Next and then Finish.

   If you select this check box, the wizard shows additional pages on which you set publish and update options. See Intelligent Deployment and Update.

• Properties for a .NET Windows Forms Project
  After you click Finish in the wizard, PowerBuilder creates a .NET Windows Forms project in the target library that you selected and opens the project in the Project painter.
• Resources and Other Required Files
  All resource files must be relative to the path of the .NET Windows Forms target.
• Security Requirements
  Use the Security tab page of the project painter to specify whether an application has a manifest file to set its requested execution level, and whether the manifest file is external or embedded in the application.
