I would highly recommend using the SQL Plugin if you are using MSSQL from the start. I buy the Complete plugin set, the SQL Plugin and the DynaPDF plugin. So basically it depends on what you need/want to do with Xojo… I think the best thing would be to just start using Xojo and look at the plugins when you start hitting limitations you can not deal Pascoe, lots of good advice here. I suspect some full time developers have plugin from all three major plugin vendors (MBS Complete + the individual DynaPDF, ChartDirector, SQL), Einhugur and Chilkat… but along with paying for Xojo, that is way more money to maintain than I could justify! ![]() There are also some basic controls that Xojo should have but does not includes as well as things like barcode stuff and some graphics stuff…īut I am not a professional developer so maybe my needs are more modest than most. The Einhugur compression and encryption plugins do what I need as well. In recent years outside of ChartDirector I’ve found that i could get by with the significantly less expensive (though less extensive) Einhugur plugins ( )…įor example, the Einhugur PDF and Excel capabilities don’t come close to the MBS products, but they do all I need. If you need it, depends on what you need to do… You can do a lot without plugins but not everything.įor somethings plugins are a necessity to do reasonably, and for some things they may just be nice to have time savers, and for some things not needed at all. ![]() New to Xojo - everyone seems to use MBS plugins, can I have some examples of usage so I can make some decisions please?
