A productivity tool designed for Microsoft Visual Basic developers
The purpose of VisualMake is to automate routine tasks that need to be
performed before, during and after the build of VB projects.
- You can perform builds of your entire set of Visual Basic projects with
a single mouse click. Number of projects to be built has no upper limits.
- Tremendous time savings, e.g. 4 hours of manual labor can turn into a 15
minutes hands-free task using VisualMake.
- You can perform incremental builds, no need to recompile up-to-date projects.
- Dependency structure is automatically analyzed and components are compiled
in correct order thus eliminating the chances of outdated references.
- You can view and print your project dependency tree. Very useful when trying
to optimize the overall project structure.
- Forget manual fixing of missing or invalid references, they are taken care
of automatically.
- View and modify properties of your projects from within VisualMake.
- View and modify properties of multiple projects in one shot.
- You can have VisualMake compile up to 10 projects simultaneously which
results in even more time savings.
- You can run custom defined steps before the build starts and/or after the
build finishes. (Pre- and Post build processing)
- Easy to use and stable due to rigorous field testing.
Visual Make is a VB Project Maintenance and Build Utility that addresses the major
difficulties in development and distribution of Enterprise Wide ActiveX Component centric
projects.
It is known that in the process of development of ActiveX centric projects, VB
programmers spend hours of precious budget time struggling with referential problems,
resolving component references, rebuilding the projects over and over again. It is not
uncommon to waste half a man day a week resolving missing references on a moderate size
enterprise wide system.
The Mobi-Sys team noted these deficiencies in the Visual Basic development environment
and have produced a solution to these notorious problem:
VisualMake will become indispensable in your build process if:
- Your product consists of more than 1 Visual Basic Project
- Your product utilizes component centric development (ActiveX Components)
- You need to produce product builds on frequent basis
- Your development team is struggling with build related problems, e.g. "ActiveX
component can�t create object" messages.
- To produce a build takes more than 1 man-hour.
Key Benefits
- Eliminate the frustration of manually solving component reference problems.
- Immediately Increase productivity due to fast, automated builds that can save hours
of development resource time each time a project is built.
- Point and shoot build compilation, with easy to use user interface.
