Another successful GeneXus application for .NET

GI-EDU.NET, the e-learning system developed by GeneXus Soluciones is the second GeneXus application to have migrated to the new Microsoft language C# for .NET platform -the first one was GXVision, the application for cable TV operators.

Less than a month ago ARTech announced the arrival of the GeneXus and GXVision beta versions for Microsoft .NET at the TechEd Conference and Exhibition in Atlanta.

That was last 19 June, and there is already another GeneXus application for .NET. GeneXus Soluciones introduced GI-EDU.NET, the first e-learning system for the .NET platform, generated with beta 1 version of the GeneXus C# generator.

The new development was introduced at the IV GeneXus Ibérica One-Day Conference (http://www.genexus.es) last Friday 6 July in Barcelona. GeneXus for .NET is a generator of Microsoft C# code. It automatically generates 100% of the pure Microsoft C# code from the current GeneXus applications.

GXVision is the application for cable TV operators that migrated to the Microsoft C# language (http://www.gxvision.com). GI-EDU is a solution designed with GeneXus for easily scalable distributed learning based in the Web (Internet, Intranet, Extranet).

It provides learning tools for teachers and training centers to enable distance training (www.giglobal.net/giedu/). "It took only 4 days (having already generated it for the Visual Basic and Java platforms) to make a preliminary version of GI-EDU working in .NET, and I’m taking into account the time needed to get familiar with the new platform ", explained Carlos Humet from GeneXus Ibérica.

The beta version 1 of GeneXus .NET supports the generation of web objects (webpanels, procedures and transactions for the Web and webtransactions) which has been the part of the GI-EDU application generated in .NET. GI-EDU has 54 webpanels and 52 procedures that access 53 tables and 474 attributes in C# / SQL Server 2000. The short time needed to develop the GI-EDU application for the .NET platform using GeneXus "makes us think that soon there will be an interesting number of knowledge bases available in the new C# language. 

There is no doubt that this should make the Microsoft Corporation sit up and take notice", said Humet. Microsoft, together with ARTech, is giving out to corporate developers and ISVs a complete set of development tools for the .NET platform," said Wilson Pais, Partner Group Manager of Microsoft Uruguay.
"ARTech GeneXus will provide high productivity tools to create and use Web services based in XML and business solutions integrated with the .NET platform and Visual Studio .NET," added Pais.
