What does this mean?Well the Help file says this:A strong name consists of an assembly's identity—its simple text name, version number, and culture information (when provided)—plus a public key and digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file using the corresponding private key. The assembly file...

More on Graphs in PowerBuilder 11.5
May 10
Last week I posted a screen shot of the new 3D Rendering capabilities being added to some of the 3D graphs in PowerBuilder 11.5. It was met with mixed reviews on the PowerBuilder Futures newsgroup (forums.sybase.com) so I went back to the drawing board to see what I could come up with. Apparently there are quite a few configuration settings one can set programmatically to render better looking graphs. For example, the primary color scheme default can be changed by making a couple of function cal...

Most of you, I realize, do not have these kinds of contacts. Even with these contacts I have found that the best way to get a head-start on new PowerDesigner versions is to get on ...
