It appeared to be a straight forward conversion from Crystal Reports until I found out that the Report Builder didn't include an RTFTextBox control. One of the first projects I had to do was a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) 2008 (non-R2) report. I re-entered the market as primarily a SQL Server DBA, T-SQL, VB.NET and ASP.NET programmer. Now fast forward to 2013, after ten years at this previous company where I originally found and used PrimalScript, with the last five years in IT Management, I went back to my true love of software development because of the creative and at times, very challenging things we are asked to do. This is annual maintenance purchase is essential due to all of the enhancements that Sapien adds to this product and its other products. This tool was so powerful for handling all of the tasks that went along with WSC project files, easy debugging of code to the point of providing line/character number information and one of the handiest of all was registering/unregistering the WSC COM object inside PrimalScript, so I didn't have to jump back and forth to a command line to register/unregister these components.Įventually, I ordered a site license for PrimalScript so that all five developers we had acquired over previous two years had a legal license and we had consistently paid annual maintenance on our license, so we were was getting updates from Sapien. So I downloaded and installed the 30 day trial license however after just a week of using PrimalScript, I knew that I had found the best tool and purchased a single license for myself. The company I worked for at the time was implementing a new Windows-based Client/Server document imaging and workflow system that used these XML wrapped VBScript components in their proprietary application server for specialized handling, processing and routing of document data and of the container record that was the primary workflow record.Īfter doing some research on Google, I determined that PrimalScript would probably be the first scripting editor that I should test.

Back in 2002, I needed a good script editor that recognized and handled scripting of Windows Scripting Components (WSC) as COM objects.
