PDSA .NET Productivity Framework

THE PDSA .NET Productivity Framework is a complete architecture and development platform designed to increase developer productivity, reduce common errors, generate bullet proof code and save you 100’s of hours of time.

The Application Framework you Need!

The PDSA .NET Productivity Framework is a software product for development managers and application developers. It eliminates problems caused by insufficient specifications, coordinates the different styles of a developer team, and builds applications that easily adapt to future unforeseen changes. It reduces the need for more development staff, purchased code generators and excessive maintenance costs.

Too Many Features to List!

While there are way too many features to list, here are some of the highlights.

  • Security - Complete, very flexible security system with Users, Roles, Permissions. Turn on and off menus and controls with no programming. Use with Forms based or Windows Integrated security.
  • Application Configuration Management - When it comes to storing application configuration information, flexibility and security are very important. The PDSA Framework supports storing configuration information in the Registry, database table, application configuration file or an XML file.
  • Data Layer/N-Tier - We give you a complete wrapper around ADO.NET. All access to tables is done using a data access class and business class. We can generate CRUD classes for your tables.
  • Application Builder - Creates a complete application with a data-driven menu system, maintenance forms, login screens and components to get you started quickly!
  • Exception Management - Our exception management system allows you to log exceptions to the event log, a database table, a text file or email to one or more people.
  • Easy To Extend - Our classes inherit from .NET classes, and make it easy for you to extend as well. Our user interface is built using controls, user controls and style sheets to make it easy for you to customize.
  • Utilities - Connection string encryption, Configuration management, Database documentation tool, XML and XSD builder, and many other developer productivity tools.

Our Product Is Unique

When asked who is our competition, we reply “No one.” We know of no other product that has all features included in the PDSA Framework. Below, we compare and contrast features of the PDSA Framework with similar products our customers often mention.

 

CodeSmith

CodeSmith is a template-based code generation tool that may be used with application frameworks. PDSA Framework includes our code generation tool, the PDSA Data Access Class Generator. Our code generator has many of the same features CodeSmith offers, and you will find our templates to be just as robust. We support template-based generation of data classes, business objects, and web forms pages using a simple token language and snippet support.

CSLA

CSLA is a framework for data access and business objects. Our Framework provides an abstract data layer and business object model, that has proven itself again and again, from the days of VB 4, 5 and 6, through the current version of .NET. Of course, we have enhanced it to take advantage of all of the great features of .NET . With many years of experience in object oriented programming and N-Tier development, you can rest assured our data model will handle your requirements.

Iron Speed Designer

Iron Speed Designer is an application generator that creates a user interface based on tables from a database. We have never seen a generator that creates screens the way our users want them. In addition, there is no real framework behind their screens, which means you end up with a lot of duplicated code. We support template-based generation of windows forms, and web forms pages, but the Framework goes far beyond generation of simple UI screens.

Microsoft Enterprise Library

Microsoft Enterprise Library provides a set of reusable code in the form of application blocks. However, most developers will find it time-consuming to learn, hard to use and confusing to configure. Our Framework has nearly all the same features as Enterprise Library, plus many that it does not have. Ours is much simpler to use and is not over-engineered.
