PowerScript Migrator is a code converter that ports PowerBuilder business logic to C#. 80-95% of non-visual PowerScript and embedded SQL can be ported automatically. No matter you are API-enabling PowerBuilder or migrating to C#, porting (not rewriting) existing code is the fastest and lowest-risk approach.

Fastest Path to C#

check

Highly-Automated Conversion - 80-95% of business logic, including PowerScript syntaxes, non-visual system functions, embedded SQLs, DataWindow functions, properties and events, and NVOs, can be ported to C#, automatically.

check

Auto-Importing of References - C# class definitions, namespaces, and using statements are automatically added for you to save time.

check

Efficient Reporting of Errors - conversion issues that will require remediation are reported as inline comments in the generated C# code, right where you need it.

PowerScript Port to C#

Lowest Project Risk

check

Port, Not Rewrite - PowerBuilder business logic is mapped to equivalent functions provided by the open-source .NET DataStore, SnapObjects, and .NET Core frameworks. Mapping to such equivalents essentially reduces project risk from a rewrite to a port.

check

Partition in C# - intermingled visual and non-visual PowerScript code is converted such that partitioning of business logic can be performed in C#, leaving the source PowerBuilder application intact.

check

Apply Best Practices - C# programming best practices can be automatically applied, such as converting PowerBuilder structures to C# classes.

Open & Standard Architecture

check

Open-Source Only - the generated C# code has dependencies only on open-source libraries, specifically the open-source .NET DataStore, SnapObjects, and .NET Core frameworks.

check

100% Managed Code - only pure C# code is generated so that the .NET Core framework is fully managing the runtime, such as exception handling, managing memory, handling security.

check

Any C# IDE - you can maintain the generated C# code in any C# IDE, such as Visual Studio or SnapDevelop.
