Features: This book is compiled based on the author's many years of experience in PowerBuilder development. It is divided into two parts: Basic and Applied. The Basic part discusses advanced PowerBuilder programming techniques with examples, including 14 chapters: Overview of PowerBuilder 8.0, Database Application Technology, Transaction Objects, DataWindow Object Technology, DataStore Object Technology, Data Pipeline Technology, Advanced PowerScript Programming, Advanced Application of Controls in Interface Design, Drag-and-Drop Technology, Component Application Technology, DLL Calling Technology, Application of PFC Class Libraries, Application Debugging Technology, and Application Release Technology. The Applied part elaborates on the development ideas and methods of general management information system software with two project examples: Inventory Management Information System and Contract Tracking Management Information System. With a certain level of PowerBuilder knowledge, readers can quickly improve their PowerBuilder programming skills and practical development level by thoroughly studying both the Basic and Applied parts. This book is suitable for readers with preliminary programming skills and can serve as a guide for senior college students' graduation projects. The China Water Power Press website (www.waterpub.com.cn) includes the source code files of the relatively complete Inventory Management Information System and Contract Tracking Management Information System from the book, providing convenience for readers' learning and also offering shortcuts and references for practical application development by related software development personnel.
