This Visual-Studio project contains examples about the programming with the iplus-framework. Read the online manual to understand the code in this example.
The iplus-framework is a software platform that combines database-based with object-oriented application development and its presentation layer. It functions as both development and runtime environment. Basically it is an extension of the .NET framework from Microsoft so that service-oriented client / server applications can be developed more easily, flexibly and quickly.
You can use it to develop
- transaction-based systems (ERP, CRM, MES...),
- SCADA applications,
- mobile solutions,
- time critical and scalable backend solutions (Multitier)
- machine controls with frontend ... with a uniform programming model. By "uniform" is meant that it makes no difference whether you develop a class for server-side or client-side use. A transaction-based form is programmed in the same way as a communication component or an automation object such as a motor or temperature sensor.
You can also deploy your solutions as software components, which in turn other developers and project or project engineers use to deliver an integrated overall solution to their end customers. A project engineer does not have to have any programming skills, because he only has to orchestrate the components via drag & drop in the iplus development environment.
This new approach enables a huge increase in productivity and an unprecedented ease of use and simplicity for developers, project engineers, consultants and end users.
An object-oriented, component based framework forms the core of iplus which is based on the microsofts® .NET framework. The system is structured in an altogether service-oriented way, which is to say that all classes and components are brought to life through database configuration only. All instances are capable of collective, network-transparent communication. The programming of components is likewise carried out network-transparently. That results in an unlimited scalability of the system and enables the building of multitier architectures with one click. In addition, the system operates fully event-driven to ensure the event processing and visualization in near real-time.
