Interoperability and
compatibility with other
.NET languages
The smooth integration with
other .NET languages such as
Visual Basic and C# is the big
advantage of NetCOBOL for
.NET's native .NET compiler. It
enables COBOL programmes to
make use of other languages'
classes and methods and vice
versa. Independent of the
programming language, Visual
Studio enables the smooth use
of all programmes developed
with it.
Editing and debugging COBOL with Visual Studio 2012 provides developers with an
additional range of useful tools.
Admirable productivity for developers
With its numerous functions, Visual Studio 2012 enhances developers' productivity levels – and is a
veritable developer's paradise. The rise in productivity levels reported by customers ranges from
20% to 50% after switching to Visual Studio.
Coding and debugging with Visual Studio 2012 is a visual process. The tools included will help you
find the fastest way to produce first-class programme codes.
Cost-free COBOL runtime licenses
No COBOL runtime license fees are required for NetCOBOL for .NET – and this is an important reason for many customers to opt for NetCOBOL for .NET. Depending on their size, software producers
with their own IT department can thus look forward to cost savings of up to a few hundred thousand Euros.
