Convert PowerBuilder to C#

Automated Application Conversion

Do you need to convert your PowerBuilder application to C#? In this case, Ispirer products will be the perfect solution for your project!
Human-written code in each project has its own specifics, therefore, it is difficult to obtain a high level of its automatic conversion. But this is not a problem for us, because the main advantage of Ispirer MnMTK is the ability to customize it for your migration project. As a result, you completely get rid of the old technology with all its downsides, and get a new application without any middleware used afterwards.

How it Works

Ispirer Migration and Modernization Toolkit (Ispirer MnMTK)

Automatic conversion of PowerBuilder to C# with the help of our tool makes it possible to significantly reduce the time and expenses as compared to manual rewriting of the application. The following approach allows to ensure high quality of automatic conversion:

1. Preliminary Stage

The stage is carried out to determine the current conversion level of Ispirer MnMTK. The level of conversion depends on the complexity of the source code and the requirements for the target application. You can independently perform the analysis of the source code of your PowerBuilder application, as well as try to convert it to C# using the demo license. Besides, our experts can perform the source code analysis and provide you with examples of its conversion.
If your application is quite specific and large, we recommend to perform PoC in order to determine the maximum level of automatic conversion of your project.
As a result, we will find out whether the extension stage is required or you can directly proceed to the conversion.

2. Ispirer MnMTK Extension Stages

If this stage is necessary, we will perform the extension to thoroughly prepare the toolkit for the entire conversion according to your project requirements. We will take a part of a representative code, which amounts ussually to ~100,000 lines. The Ispirer technical team will add all the neccessary conversion rules into the tool in order to achieve as high as possible level of automation or even to get compilable result. As a delivery, we will provide conversion results of the scope of this Extension Stage. The customer will get the tool customized according to their specific project needs and ready for the next migration stage.

3. Use of Ispirer MnMTK

At this stage, you perform the conversion yourself. As to pricing, we apply project-based licensing. Prices depend on its scope and duration. Besides, the license includes support. If necessary, the conversion may be further improved even at this stage. As a result, Extension Requests, each of which is processed within 1-3 business days, are added to the license. Our experts recommend the optimal number of requests considering the complexity and requirements of your project.
