There are three main, very significant and extensive ways you can carry out bespoke developments with Caspian.

• Caspian COM based customisations
• Caspian Xtender
• Development services direct from Caspian

Caspian COM

Caspian COM components make bespoke developments with Caspian simple and risk-free. Database access and updates are always controlled by Caspian components ensuring validations and data-quality checks are always performed before data is inserted or updated on the database. The Visual Basic Object Browser makes understanding component relationships simple.

Integrate Caspian Components into VB and VBA Projects. Caspian Components can be referenced from Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications projects, allowing the developer to choose to include all the functionality of Caspian into their own project.

Coding with Caspian components integrates easily with VB and VBA. Visual Basic (VB) and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) allow Caspian components to be referenced and accessed as any other standard Microsoft code component.

IntelliSenseT makes remembering Caspian properties and methods easy. Microsoft IntelliSense T allows a developer to see the properties and methods of the Caspian objects they are working with. With IntelliSenseT the other properties and methods available are shown to the developer as they enter the object name, making it simple to select the required property and method.

Components Support Scripting. Scripting languages such as VBS (Visual Basic Scripting) and JavaScript (ECMAScript) can also use Caspian components, which are written to support running in a stateless, multi-threaded environment. This allows web integration with Active Server Pages to make Caspian functionality also available from a browser.

Caspian Xtender
