NetCOBOL
for .NET Quick-Start Samples
Our partner, Intensity Software, has created and
hosted a number of samples for NetCOBOL for .NET. This
is a great place to go to see some realistic examples
of how to use NetCOBOL for .NET with the latest Microsoft
Technology. This is hosted on the Intensity software
site, so the graphics are, uh, Intense!
IBuySpy Store ASP.NET
Sample Application
IBuySpy is a fictitious
Web-based catalog sales site developed by Microsoft
and Vertigo Software to provide an example of using
ASP.NET. We've worked with Intensity
Software to create a COBOL version of this application.
We
suggest you:
-
Check out the IBuySpy store (a fun experience!) driven
by NetCOBOL for .NET at: http://www.ibuyspycobol.com.
The link on the main IBuySpy Store page "IBuySpy
Store Documentation" describes how the application
is constructed, including details and views of the
NetCOBOL sources. You'll get a good view of using
ASP.NET and an insight into other .NET programming
concepts as well.
-
Optionally you can compare the NetCOBOL version to
Microsoft's version (written in VB.NET and/or C#)
by connecting to http://www.ibuyspystore.com.
- Then
download
the IBuySpy Store sources and database for yourself
so that you can inspect, build and play with the sources.

Microsoft's .NET Framework introduces many new terms

Windows technology. In addition, Fujitsu has added enhancements
and extensions to COBOL to support the features of the
.NET Framework. Before programming in this new environment,
it is important to have a good understanding of the
basic .NET terminology.
