ASNA Visual RPG for .NET 14.0

ASNA Visual RPG for .NET (AVR) by ASNA® is a .NET-based development language and toolset that enables IBM i (AS/400) RPG developers to build modern Windows and web applications within Microsoft Visual Studio. It preserves familiar RPG syntax while adding object-oriented, event-driven programming, letting teams leverage existing skills to create new solutions or extend legacy systems.

AVR compiles to .NET assemblies and gives developers full access to the .NET ecosystem, including framework classes and third-party libraries. Using ASNA DataGate technology, it provides high-performance connectivity to IBM i (Db2 for i) databases and programs, as well as support for other data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server. Developers can build Windows desktop applications and ASP.NET web applications, modernize 5250-style interfaces, and integrate IBM i business logic with contemporary user experiences and services.

Key benefits include:

• Tight integration with Visual Studio, including project templates, IntelliSense, and integrated debugging.
• A familiar RPG-like syntax that reduces the learning curve for RPG programmers moving to .NET.
• Robust IBM i interoperability for data access and program calls, enabling step-by-step modernization.
• Deployment flexibility on Windows and IIS, with access to standard .NET tooling and DevOps practices.
