Recently I needed to update an old Web project that used a Microsoft SQL Server Database as its data source. This application is running as a service on a Windows machine and is for internal use only.

Comments closedWith the release of Xojo 2020r1 comes the new 2.0 version of our web framework. While the way in which you build web applications hasn’t fundamentally changed, this new version is a from-the-ground-up rewrite and utilizes API 2.0 for greatly improved consistency.

Comments closedAmong the many IDE improvements in 2019r2 we’ve made some improvements in how the Control Layout Locks work so even if a control is locked, it’ll still obey the left/top/right/bottom alignment locks. We are taking some hints from the way many graphic design programs approach this and we think it’ll be a big improvement to the way controls are organized on Windows and Containers.
