在開發 iOS 應用程式時利用代碼片段

1月 22, 2024
Anywhere Software 推出的 B4i (iOS) v8.50 添加對代碼片段的支援，使開發人員能夠以更高的效率編寫更一致的代碼。

B4i (iOS), by Anywhere Software, is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for building native iOS apps on Windows machines. It shares similar concepts with B4A (Android development), enabling code reuse and cross-platform capabilities. Uniquely, B4i bypasses the need for a local Mac computer, allowing developers to create iOS apps entirely within their Windows environment if they use Anywhere Software's Hosted Mac Builder service to execute the compilation process. B4i offers a powerful solution for Windows developers wanting to tap into the iOS app market.

B4i (iOS) v8.50 introduces support for code snippets. These pre-built code modules, spanning simple loops to entire functions, significantly improve efficiency and promote code consistency, contributing directly to project timelines and code quality.

To see a full list of what's new in v8.50, see our release notes.

B4i (iOS) is licensed per developer and is available as a perpetual license in Standard Edition (with two months of upgrades) or Enterprise Edition (with two years of upgrades). The Hosted Mac Builder Service must be renewed annually to continue using it. See our B4i (iOS) licensing page for full details.

For more information, see our B4i (iOS) product page.

輕鬆匯出和共用網格資料

透過利用廣泛支援的 CSV 格式進行您 Angular 網格的匯出來促進無縫資料交換。

CSV export functionality in a grid control empowers users to seamlessly bridge the gap between interactive visualization and in-depth analysis. By exporting the displayed data as a readily importable CSV file, users gain immediate access to a familiar format compatible with diverse spreadsheet tools. This feature promotes efficient data extraction, facilitating further analysis, report generation, and data sharing, all directly from the convenience of the grid interface.

Several Angular grid controls support exporting to CSV, such as:

  • Wijmo FlexGrid (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) allows you to transform your Angular data tables into clean, ready-to-analyze CSV files with seamless export options.
  • Handsontable by Handsoncode empowers rapid data analysis with seamless, flexible CSV export from your Angular grids.
  • Ignite UI Angular Grid (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) lets you effortlessly export your grids to clean, analysis-ready CSV files in a single click.
  • Syncfusion Grid control for JavaScript (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) allows you to capture Angular grid data effortlessly in CSV format for straightforward sharing.

用 Surface Charts 揭示資料見解

1月 22, 2024
透過將直觀的 3D 視覺化效果添加到您的 WPF 應用程式來幫助使用者瞭解複雜的資料交互。

Surface charts are graphical representations that depict three-dimensional data in a two-dimensional format, typically using a grid of rows and columns. These charts provide a visual representation of how two independent variables (typically represented on the X and Y axes) influence a dependent variable, represented by the height or color of the surface. The primary benefit of surface charts lies in their ability to reveal complex relationships within datasets, making it easier for analysts and decision-makers to grasp patterns and trends. Surface charts offer a valuable tool for analyzing data in fields such as scientific research, engineering, finance, and various other domains.

Several WPF chart controls offer Surface charts including:

  • DevExpress WPF Chart (part of DevExpress WPF) allows you to create surface charts with smooth gradients, interactive rotations, and endless customization options.
  • ComponentOne Charts for WPF (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS) offers interactive 3D surface charts, featuring customizable gradients, rotations, and lighting.
  • LightningChart .NET lets you use surface charts to sculpt data landscapes, uncover hidden patterns, and personalize with interactive rotations, zooms, and customization options.
  • Infragistics WPF Charts (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF) allows you to transform multidimensional data into visually compelling surface charts.
  • Syncfusion WPF Chart (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) provides you with immersive 3D surface charts, with customizable shading, lighting, and rotations.

用 JS 應用程式中的視覺選擇提高可用性

1月 22, 2024
透過提供視覺提示來輔助項選擇，Image ListBox 控制項改進了使用者體驗和美觀。

Image listboxes transcend the limitations of traditional listboxes by incorporating image previews alongside textual labels. This creates an intuitive browsing experience, enabling users to quickly identify and select an option with visual cues. This is particularly useful for applications where visual selection enhances the user experience, such as choosing products in an e-commerce platform or selecting avatars in user profiles. It combines the clarity of images with the efficiency of a listbox to streamline selection processes.

Several JavaScript data editor collections provide image listbox capabilities including:

  • DevExtreme Complete Data Editors (part of DevExtreme by DevExpress) allows you to integrate thumbnails and icons directly into list items, streamlining user selection.
  • Kendo UI for jQuery Editors (part of Kendo UI by Telerik) lets you create templates to customize the display of each list item with text and images.
  • Wijmo Input and Editors (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) includes a customizable ListBox which can display images next to items to facilitate informed user selection.
  • Smart HTML Elements Data Editors The Smart.ListBox control displays rows containing customizable tiles that can contain text with icons/images or avatars.

用代碼分析優化您的應用性能

1月 22, 2024
分析代碼允許開發人員分析其程式的執行時間並確定性能優化的瓶頸。

Code profiling is a diagnostic technique employed to analyze the runtime behavior of an application. It dissects resource consumption, usually including CPU time, memory allocation, and function call frequency, to precisely identify performance bottlenecks and resource hogs. Armed with these insights, developers can optimize specific code sections, leading to improved user experience, resource efficiency, and ultimately, a more robust and performant application.

Several IDEs support code profiling, including:

  • PrimalScript by SAPIEN Technologies is a universal script environment that offers a script profiler for memory and CPU usage, and for function coverage.
  • IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains provides a rich Java profiler, which visualizes CPU and memory usage, as well as tools for thread activity and hot spots.
  • EiffelStudio by Eiffel Software has a built-in profiler for Eiffel code which you can set to run on either the whole program or specific clusters.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise comes with a Performance Profiler that includes a variety of advanced profiling tools, such as for CPU, memory, and GPU usage, to accumulate performance data.
