| I've seen some of them. To call them templates is a mistake. Not what
we all would call templates like CW users know them. Very far from it.
The data layers are a long way from CW 5.0. They also cost more than a
CW6 EE license plus you add a Microsoft VS Pro license on top of that.
That basically means for a template setup on top of VS Pro you are
looking at more than double what we pay for CW 7.0 EE with an annual
support cost that is about double too. Then you also are married to
two vendors instead of one. The ToolCraft situation only a whole lot
worse.
Elimination of the C# step is what seems to be happening at SV and I
think it could be the right move. The beauty is no one needs C# code
when you can generate IML. Generating C# code would be a serious
mistake. You just don't get enough back to make it worth while. Going
direct to IML is the better course.
I don't know how it's all going to turn out but anything that requires
you to pay for a VS Pro license on top of something else isn't going
too far all that soon.
