Visual Component Creation enables developers to instantly make new components for combination of other components and code. The new component can then be automatically added on the component palette page for use in future applications. By combining the use of the Visual component creation element of CodeInsight, developers can visually create ActiveX controls without having to immerse themselves in the complexities of the ActiveX, COM, and DCOM APIs and protocols. Packages unique compiler technology for creating smaller applications. Packages allow developers to split applications into small pieces for dynamic linking at runtime, without any degradation in application performance.
Packages are like mini-DLLs but are far more sophisticated and flexible.
At compile time, the developer simply chooses how an application should be split, to allow efficient library updates or distribution of extremely small executable files. Packages enable the deployment of smaller applications across the Web, decreasing network traffic and download times. Packages help to split out functionality into different system functions and business rules, making it easier to update application parts without having to redeploy and reinstall a whole application or suite of applications. Packages make it easier to deliver and maintain truly distributed n-tier applications. All rights reserved.
