PVX Plus Technologies April Newsletter

We are thrilled to present two significant enhancements that will be included in the PxPlus 2025 version 22 release. These are just two of the many enhancements you can expect.

These new enhancements were recommended by our customers during the DireXions+ conference, as well as through surveys and one to one conversations.

Our User Groups offered insightful commentary and suggestions in both situations. We would like to express our gratitude to every customer who took part.

We are excited for the upcoming VS Code User Groups.

.NET Interface

The new .NET interface for PxPlus unlocks seamless integration between PxPlus and the .NET ecosystem, empowering developers to tap into the full potential of .NET’s robust libraries, developer tools, and cross-platform versatility, bringing enhanced performance and flexibility to PxPlus applications.

There are several ways to define and interact with a .NET object. 

You will be able to create a .NET object using the DEF OBJECT directive and add a .NET object in a NOMADS panel.  

Here is an example of the .NET Calendar

def object calendar,@(10,10,30,20),"[.NET]System.Windows.Forms,System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar"

JSON Object

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a widely adopted format for representing structured data and is commonly used for data interchange between systems.

The new JSON object for PxPlus introduces a rich set of methods and features, significantly expanding its functionality and capabilities beyond the current JSON implementation in PxPlus.

Features include:

·       Performance (Both speed and memory)

·       Compatibility with arrays, strings, and the XML object

·       Ease of usability

Some of the new Methods include:

·       Load_json_file and save_json_file allow saving and loading data from files

·       Force_ set functions allow bypassing data validation to improve performance

·       The find and find_any functions allow you to find keys that match a given regex mask

Additionally, with the new enhancements to the XML object, XML data can now be easily converted to JSON and vice versa using the updated objects.
