New Features in PowerBuilder 2025 R2

Learn about the new development features in PowerBuilder 2025 R2.
Topics covered include code editor productivity and navigation improvements, dynamic DPI support, IDE usability enhancements, multilingual runtime resources, SVG support, advanced executable security flags (beta), and updates to PowerServer and PowerClient. The session also highlights key enhancements to DataWindow/DataStore, Jump, Source Control, Solution management, CrypterObject, WebBrowser, RibbonView, and SMTPClient.

Using OAuth2 Authentication with SmtpClient

Learn how to secure your email sending application by implementing OAuth2 with SmtpClient. Topics covered include the core concept of Authorization vs. Authentication, why OAuth2 is vital for securing credentials and enabling features like MFA, the mechanics of the Authorization Flow and Device Authorization Flow, and practical configuration steps for both Azure and Gmail.

Implementing Single Sign-On with PowerBuilder

Learn how to use an OAuth provider to implement single sign-on.  Topics covered include implementing the OAuth provider in a Docker hosted Authentik instance; however, the technique is pretty much the same for any OAuth provider.

Using AI to write and maintain PowerBuilder code

Excited about the AI capabilities coming in PowerBuilder 2025 R3?
You don’t have to wait. If your PowerBuilder 2025 projects use the solution format, you can start putting AI to work today.
In this session, we’ll look at using AI to create and update your existing PowerBuilder code from outside the PowerBuilder IDE.

Integrating AI into PB applications

AI is now a daily assistant in software development, and much can already be done in PB for code production. However, runtime use is different. End users interact with PB applications, and AI can support decision-making and application collaboration processes. This session discusses how our PB application can benefit from AI by sending prompts and JSON data to AI engines to analyze the effectiveness of tasks performed.

The dream of a web application from PB: two worlds no longer parallel thanks to generative-AI

Let’s be honest: who never hoped that the next version of PB would offer easy full-web deployment? Appeon Web and PowerServer have brought the concept of Installable Web App and Installable Cloud App within everyone’s reach, applications that can be accessed from a web server. But full web also means zero-installation and cross-platform. In this session, you’ll learn how in two weeks it was possible to transform a specific module of a large PowerServer application, but intended for a general user base, into a full-web application thanks to generative-AI.

Preserving PB investments in modern times

Client/server PowerBuilder apps were built to last — resilient, fast, dependable. But “built to last” isn’t “built for today”: customers now expect cloud access, modern UI, web/mobility, and integration with the tools they already use.

This session maps the real options for PB developers in 2026 — staying current with PB2025, extending reach with PowerServer and PowerClient, embedding modern UI via WebView2, and, for those ready to go further, rehosting business logic in .NET while replacing the presentation layer entirely. We’ll weigh what each path costs, what it preserves, and where AI is starting to shift the economics of the bigger moves.

No single answer fits every application — the goal is a clearer map, so you can match strategy to your own system.
