PowerBuilder was so far ahead of its time and did so many things right. Microsoft pretty much ripped the datawindow concept early on in .NET's life with datasets, but didn't get it nearly as right as PB did (in the beginning anyway).
Pity they don't open source the thing and maybe some life could be breathed into it.
- pjmlp 8y agoGiven that Visual Basic had it first, how come Microsoft ripped it off for .NET?
- digitalsin 8y agoVB had the concept of a recordset, which is like a single dimension of a dataset.
