Hi Armeen or anyone out there,
While surely you must have been enjoying your holidays, I´ve come to the conclusion that our PB Classic apps are legacy ("duuuhh"), that any way to use pb classic with .Net means writing a "legacy" com-wrapper which regretfully is not supported by Appeon web, since it "only supports regsvr32" which makes it impossible for me to use an activex towards something written in .net (for pb classic it works fine, but appeon just doesn´t seem to like this kind of stuff anymore, for word and outlook, Appeon works fine though). Or ... if I´m wrong about that, there´s no fast-enough-answer from appeon or novalys. (even wondering: isn´t regsvr32 more legacy than regasm?).
Too bad for our thousands of crystal reports, which would only work if I´d use a VS2010 "also legacy" crystal report web app and re-write a lot of code, or ... maybe too bad for the Appeon product which we won´t buy if it doesn´t work with our reports through OLE as it is today, not caring if we have to rewrite some stuff. This is not my decision, it´s the company I work for.
I know enough, it has cost me too many sleepless nights and too many very long working days. For now we simply cannot offer Appeon as a web solution to any client, that´s my only conclusion.
Maybe it´s a good idea to wait for the "future of Pb" anyway, before re-writing all of our code, "who knows what´s gonna pop".
Now I know you´re probably going to want "correct" me, but no, I will not answer. It´s been fun so far.
Kind regards and success with your third webinar which I won´t watch,
Miguel Leeuwe
