PowerBuilder
PowerBuilder has been greatly enhanced for developing modern client/server apps. You can benefit from the unparalleled productivity of PowerBuilder without the historical restrictions of client/server apps.
- PowerBuilder apps automatically install & update over HTTPS.
- Integrate Web content, including sync & async JavaScript execution.
- Natively interop with .NET DLLs written for .NET or .NET Core.
- Consume REST APIs, with support for OAuth 2.0 and JWT.
- Utilize style sheets to control how the app UI is rendered.
- Support various Windows 11&10 devices, including Surface tablets.
PowerServer
PowerServer enables you to rapidly build Cloud applications with the productivity and power of DataWindows and the PowerScript language.
Compared to developing HTML apps, Cloud apps developed with PowerServer offer richer functionality, faster data entry, and are far simpler to develop.
The deployed application runs on various Windows-based devices, including desktops, laptops, and tablets, and executes data access natively in the Cloud with REST API architecture and security.
PowerServer
PowerServer is the absolute fastest way to convert existing PowerBuilder apps to the Cloud, producing real cloud-native applications that do not suffer from the issues associated with virtual desktops (e.g. Citrix, RDP, etc.).
It supports basically 100% of PowerBuilder features, and subsequent maintenance is performed productively within the PowerBuilder IDE.

.NET DataStore
The .NET DataStore enables you to rapidly develop C# REST APIs to be consumed by Windows apps with the productivity and functionality of DataWindow technology.
When compared to other popular ORMs for .NET, it requires far fewer lines of code and is much simpler to understand and work with. And it provides natively in .NET, the same non-visual features, data buffers, transaction management as the DataWindow.
The resulting JSON data can be easily consumed by a PowerBuilder client or any other Windows app that supports the REST and JSON standards. Therefore, no matter what kind of Windows app you are looking to build, you can benefit from DataWindow technology.
.NET DataStore
The .NET DataStore enables you to rapidly develop C# business logic to be consumed by an HTML UI with the productivity and functionality of DataWindow technology.
Compared to other popular ORMs for .NET, it requires far fewer lines of code and is much simpler to understand and work with. And it provides natively in .NET, the same non-visual features, data buffers, transaction management as the DataWindow.
The .NET DataStore inherits from an IList and supports the .NET Core framework, making it easy to integrate with the latest ASP.NET technologies, such as Razor and Blazor. Now, your HTML app development can benefit from DataWindow technology.
.NET DataStore
The .NET DataStore enables you to rapidly develop C# REST APIs to be consumed by iOS/Android apps with the productivity and functionality of DataWindow technology.
Compared to other popular ORMs for .NET, it requires far fewer lines of code and is much simpler to understand and work with. And it provides natively in .NET, the same non-visual features, data buffers, transaction management as the DataWindow.
The resulting JSON data can be easily consumed by any mobile UI framework that supports the REST and JSON standards, such as React, Xamarin, and Flutter. Now, your mobile app development can benefit from DataWindow technology.

PowerScript Migrator
PowerScript Migrator is the absolute fastest way to migrate existing client/server projects to C# with an HTML UI because it “ports” your PowerScript business logic to C#.
It is the only migration solution that supports, natively in .NET, all DataWindow presentation styles and most non-visual DataWindow features. As such, existing non-visual PowerScript can be readily mapped to C#, making your PowerBuilder migration to C# a “port” in terms of risk and effort.
Besides converting all DataWindows, the PowerScript Migrator converts most non-visual PowerScript, embedded SQL and dynamic SQL. It also supports various PowerBuilder constructs, such as unbounded arrays, special blob handling, and system functions.
The .NET DataStore inherits from an IList and supports the .NET Core framework, making it easy to integrate with the latest ASP.NET technologies, such as Razor and Blazor. Now, your HTML app migration project can reuse your valuable PowerBuilder business logic.
