.NET Mobile Generator

Rodrigo Álvarez, Mobility Manager of the ARTech Support Group, presents the new .NET Mobile generator which adds all the advantages of the GeneXus Yi version to the GeneXus features.

Within the area of computer systems applied to corporate environments, there is a great deal of informal processes for taking or querying information. By this we mean instances such as sales order taking, which is usually written on paper and then entered into the system, or queries about a product's stock.

One reason for the persistence of these informal processes has been that it is not easy to have a PC or laptop with an application connected to a central data base at the time of carrying out these tasks. But, with the development of mobile technologies, it is now possible to have an information entry and query point that is portable, robust and easy to use.

With this in mind, the .NET Mobile has been created using the .NET Compact Framework. Although it is similar to the .NET Framework, it was originally created for mobile devices, considering their specific needs and battery use.

This new generator offers the main features of GeneXus in the Win interface, as well as the new advantages of the Yi version of GeneXus. This way, carrying out an application in .NET Mobile is no different from development in the programming environment in any other platform, except for the necessary allowance concerning screen size.

This enables using the knowledge stored in our GeneXus KBs in this new technology without the need for venturing into reengineering processes.

Applications thus created can esther work with a local data base (SQL CE) or access a centralized data base (SQL Server). Supported devices are those that run a system from the Windows Mobile family such as Pocket PC, Pocket PC 2002, Smart Phone, etc.

In most cases mobile applications will be a branch of a corporate system, so data communication mechanisms have been integrated in this generator. SQL Server native communications methods can be used to synchronize data or alternatively Web Services can also be used to send and receive information.

The .NET Mobile generator customarily supports wireless report printing as well as bar code reading by scanners integrated in the same devices.

We then have a new generator with the same capacity as others but oriented to this rapidly growing new market. This enables GeneXus programmers to be ahead of the game in the competition for that market's leadership.
