Oracle Forms to C#.NET
Data base and application migration software SQLWays is capable of converting Oracle Forms applications to C#.NET using the Model View ViewModel Concept (MVVM).
Challenges
Oracle Forms include form modules, object libraries and menu modules in binary format. To convert them in C#.NET first you need to extract XML files. This can be done with the help of Oracle Forms2XML tool. Ispirer Systems offers application migration of Oracle Forms in C#.Net using MVVM.
Conversion Features:
Our automated software migration tool SQLWays converts extracted XML Oracle Forms files to WPF, using MVVM design pattern:
MVVM is designed to separate UI and business logic, and to simplify automated testing.
The model refers to the data access layer (database).
public class Customer : IDataErrorInfo
{
public static Customer CreateCustomer(
double totalSales,
string firstName,
string lastName,
bool isCompany,
string email)
{
return new Customer
{
TotalSales = totalSales,
FirstName = firstName,
LastName = lastName,
IsCompany = isCompany,
Email = email
};
}
…
}
View contains all UI elements such as buttons, text boxes, check boxes etc.
For example:
In Windows Presentation Foundation, the UI layout is described in a XAML file:
<Window x:Class=" WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/
xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Oracle Form" mc:ignorable="d"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/
markup-compatibility/2006"
d:DesignHeight="269" d:DesignWidth="526"
SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight">
<Grid Margin="4">
<Label Content="First _name:"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Target="{Binding ElementName=firstNameTxt}"
Margin="0,51,385,147" Width="66" />
<TextBox
x:Name="firstNameTxt"
Text="{Binding Path=FirstName,
ValidatesOnDataErrors=True,
UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Validation.ErrorTemplate="{x:Null}"
Margin="131,51,193,147" />
<Label Content="_Last name:"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Target="{Binding ElementName=lastNameTxt}"
Margin="0,91,385,107" />
<TextBox
x:name="lastNameTxt"
Text="{Binding Path=LastName,
ValidatesOnDataErrors=True,
UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Validation.ErrorTemplate="{x:Null}"
Margin="131,91,193,107" />
</Grid>
</Window>
The view model is an abstraction of the view that also serves in mediating between the view and the model which is the target of the view data bindings.
