New and Updated Features › .NET Client Application Generator

.NET Client Application Generator

The major new feature of CA Plex r7.0 is to generate Plex UI designs as managed C# applications. The C# applications use the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) operating environment, which is shipped as part of the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. The CA Plex .NET Client Generator ships with an updated set of OBASE and Pattern libraries with newly added variants that target each of the client-server configurations. CA Plex .NET runtime supports this .NET Client Generator.

Note: We recommend that for new application development, select the Patterns rather than OBASE as your base set of libraries to inherit from.

For more information about the new .NET Client Generator, refer to the following resources:

• CA Plex .NET Platform Guide
• CA Plex User Guide, Packaging and Deploying Applications
• Dot Net Client Sample Model

  The Dot Net Client sample model focuses on the transformation of a WinC client, WinNTC server based application into a 100% managed code .NET application. The model is located in the \CA\Plex\7.0\Samples\Dot Net Client folder.

• Tutorial Reference Model

  The CA Plex tutorial reference model has a version which has already been migrated for you and is ready to generate, build, and run. The TUTREFERCS.mdl model is located in the \CA\Plex\7.0\Tutrefer folder.
