I have converted a PowerBuilder application to 11.5 .NET. When it builds, it compiles into a DLL, an EXE and a bunch of “netmodule” files. Are the netmodules necessary for deployment, or just part of some intermediate step? Is there any way to get the compiler to build me one DLL for each pbl (PowerBuilder library)? ...

I am using EZTWAIN from a powerbuilder application to acquire images from an HP scanner. Recently I tried a Kodak model (i1120) and it seems that it is not supported.

Say I have a field on a datawindow that is the value of a database column ("Insert > Column). It has conditions in which it needs to be protected (Properties>General>Protect). I want to have the field background grey when it's protect. At the moment, the only way I can work out how to do this is to copy the protect conditional, no matte...
If a user action is required for a function in my app then the associated icon on the toolbar is made to blink. This blinking is achieved by swapping the toolbar icon for another controlled by a timer event etc. Every time the icon is swapped the memory usage increases by 4K so eventually the app crashes depending on the user's availabl...
When in debug mode, powerbuilder (ver 10.5) throws application execution error and terminates the application, for errors raised by statements put inside try/catch blocks?
