Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), the leading developer of corporate and mobile software, announced an exit of Sybase® PowerBuilder® 12. This last generation of the instrument of rapid application development from Sybase opens for developers of a possibility of the maximum fast, easy and economic translation of their business applications on Microsoft® .NET what will give to users an opportunity for work with visually attractive and completely conforming to modern requirements interface.

The new architecture of Sybase PowerBuilder 12 works with the Visual Studio environment from Microsoft company that allows to reach the greatest possible performance in application development for PowerBuilder developers on the .NET platform. Due to existence of the patented DataWindow® technology PowerBuilder 12, as before, requires no more than 5 lines of the code (instead of hundreds in other languages) to get access to powerful business logic. Using DataWindow now rewritten on C#, PowerBuilder 12 generates managed code and naturally supports Microsoft WPF, offering developers the big performance, flexibility and security. Besides, it is only product which allows customers to use effectively their already existing Win32® and "besshovno" code to migrate on .NET, saving on expenses on rewriting of the code and the difficulties connected with it.

Sybase delivers PowerBuilder with two autonomous development environments (IDE). One is created for development for the Windows platform 32 to create and support Win32 applications and to migrate the existing code on Windows Forms and WebForms. The second is a new comprehensive development environment for migration of the existing code on Windows applications of Presentation Foundation, creation of new applications on the basis of Windows Presentation Foundation and use for 100% of managed code over a cover of Microsoft Visual Studio - all this with the existing skills on PowerBuilder.
