PowerBuilder – Key Features:

Unicode support – Business needs are global, and now PowerBuilder makes it simple to build applications for your globally dispersed user base. Unicode support means one row of data in a DataWindow can display characters from different multibyte charactersets! Now there’s no need to maintain different language versions of applications for different character set based languages. Write one application that the whole world can see. |
| • |
UDDI – Easy to use wizards provide UDDI browsing functionality to locate and consume Web services in traditional PowerBuilder applications as well as JSP pages. And, this UDDI search capability can easily be built into applications PowerBuilder developers build using the UDDI PBNI extension. |
| • |
XML Web DataWindow – This component has been fine tuned for the Web greatly enhancing the performance of your data driven Web applications. Using CSS , XSLT, and XML, style, layout and content are all generated separately.This means faster download of DataWindow pages and greater efficiency, scalability, extensibility, and accessibility of these standard W3C technologies. |
| • |
PowerDesigner Plug - in for Object Modeling – Refactoring PowerBuilder applications for the Web is now an easy, drag-and-drop process! No need to worry that the application built with an old version of PowerBuilder needs to go to the Web, even though the developers who wrote have moved on long ago. This feature also enables users to do true Object Oriented programming, implementing best practices into development for more efficient and easier to maintain projects |
| • |
ADO.NET – The ADO.NET database interface enables PowerBuilder applications to use ADO.net just like they use OLE DB or ODBC to connect to various databases, and perform database and table operations. |
| • |
MobiLink – Built-in support of iAnywhere’s MobiLink technology means that you can easily build Powerbulider applications for mobile users. When you build data synchronization into your applications, laptop users will always have up-to-date data, whether they’re online or occasionally connected. |
