Xceed Software / PowerBuilder - Top Reviews

Xceed creates, markets and distributes quality software components for Microsoft Windows developers. Since its launch 10 years ago in 1994, Xceed has been devoted exclusively to the Microsoft platform. The company's very first product, Xceed Zip Compression Library, was first offered as a VBX for Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 and has been so successful that it has been migrated to every Microsoft platform since, including ActiveX, the .NET Framework, and the .NET Compact Framework.

Today, Xceed's product line has expanded to include nearly 20 full-featured .NET and ActiveX/COM components. The components can be grouped into two main categories: Data Manipulation components and User Interface components. The Data Manipulation components include Compression, Encryption and File Transfer libraries. The User Interface components include Grid, Chart, Menus, Toolbars, Treeviews, Explorer Panes and other interface controls.

One mission has guided Xceed Software since its early beginnings: to provide developers with an enriching component-based development experience and unsurpassed customer service and technical support. Through Xceed's many years of success, this dedication to quality products and services has helped it build an impressive customer base. Xceed components are used and trusted by many of the world's most innovative companies, including IBM, HP, Intel, Microsoft, Apple, NASA, Oracle and Sun.

Since the release of the Microsoft .NET framework, much of Xceed's energy and resources have been focused on creating 100% managed components designed to integrate seamlessly into the framework's object model and take full advantage of .NET's capabilities.
