Hi,

We have a .net based application and want to convert PSR (Powersoft report) report to PDF to view it. How can I convert PSR format to PDF in a .net based application?

As a note, the PSR reports were created by our legacy application built on powerbuilder 9.x.

Hi Pranoy;

1) Older PB version PSR's are not compatible with newer PB versions as the PSR contains DW object source code along with their data buffers.

2) .Net Apps cannot process PSR files as they are a PB proprietary format and need the PB runtime & DW control in order to reconstitute them into a visual entity.

3) In order to handle PSR's, you will need either a) InfoMaker or b) a PB based application.

Thanks for your response Chris.

So are there any PB and DW libraries for .net?

There used to be a Sybase PB.net product that could build WPF based Apps & .Net assemblies but Sybase discontinued that product long ago.
