Visual Welder has been designed by experts to power your delivery of robust
and scalable web applications. Here is a summary of the key features of Visual
Welder, and how they can take your development experience to new levels.
| Feature |
|
Benefit |
|
|
|
|
|
| Integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET |
|
Visual Welder plugs directly into Microsoft's premier
development studio. So you have all the power and features of the .NET
framework and toolset at your disposal, while rapidly accelerating your output
through Visual Welder's unique development experience. |
|
| Business Solution Orientation |
|
Visual Welder is designed for business applications. Using
sembleWare's unique "Part" based design pattern, you can build applications in
a drag-and-drop assembly mindset, helping you stay focused on the solution that
your end-users are looking for. |
|
| New IDE Toolwindows |
|
Visual Welder's unique, patent pending three-dimensional Spatial
Editor "opens up" the insides of your system to let you and your
end-users see how the inner "parts" fit together. You can shape your
application by manipulating the 3D model, paint working forms using the Active
Toolbox, tailor list and grids using the List Designer, and
more... |
|
| Re-use Support |
|
"Parts" are composed using one-sided relationships,
making them highly reusable in other contexts and applications. Using Visual
Welder, you can package your own Parts for later re-use, or download and
plug-in parts from our Online Part Catalog, potentially saving countless hours
of development time.
|
|
| Code Generation. |
|
As you work, Visual Welder dynamically generates all the VS.NET
code you need to get a working application. You can create working applications
without writing a single line of code. Or you can introduce as much code as you
need. The choice is yours. So you get to prioritize your efforts and produce
more system in less time.
|
|
| Form generation. |
|
Visual Welder can generate complex web forms, complete with
working drop-down combos, header-detail support, SQL queries with joins,
navigation buttons and more. All driven by an easy-to-customize html template.
You can even apply a new template to a form you created before, whether it was
generated or painted by hand, to get a whole new look-and-feel. Creating
working forms is easier than ever.
|
|
| Smart Form painting. |
|
You can craft your own web forms by dragging-and-dropping from
the Active Toolbox. Visual Welder tracks the "parts" on your form, and
can determine when you need a textbox, checkbox, option button, dropdown combo
or nested grid. It will "wire" the code-behind for you, including SQL joins, as
you drag and drop. You can create cascading combos, user grid-limiters, and
even combos with related fields that auto-update, without writing a line of
code.
|
|
| Data Model Creation |
|
Visual Welder creates a normalized data model for you, based on
the Parts and Relationships that you specify. Foreign keys, composite keys and
other relational database constructs are managed for you, so you can focus at a
solution level.
|
|
| Database Generation |
|
Visual Welder will generate all the scripts you need to keep
your database synchronized with your project, from the initial "create table"
statements to the "alter table" statements for later changes. You can apply the
scripts directly, or have your DBA apply them in accordance with your corporate
standards for production systems.
|
|
| Database Reverse-Engineering |
|
Visual Welder can reverse-engineer a database, to give you a
working application complete with screens. You can import an entire database,
or selected tables. You can even import additional tables to an existing
application. This incredibly powerful feature means you can build running
applications from legacy systems with a few clicks of your mouse.
|
|
| Robust and scalable end product |
|
Any system you build using Visual Welder will have been designed
to scale. The runtime environment is optimized for a stateless web environment.
Your system will be using libraries containing best-practice usage of the .NET
framework. So you cut down on the QA cycle, and you know that if your
application works in your test environment, it will work in production.
|
|
| No runtime royalties |
|
Compiled Visual Welder applications can be distributed
royalty-free, giving you the flexibility to set pricing to your clients. |
