Progress Software Corporation has been running a program to test the OpenEdge GUI for .NET bridge with controls that have no user-interface. My company, Intangere, is very interested in this program because we are looking at releasing a control that would make it possible for OpenEdge developers to communicate directly with a Microsoft Exchange Server and receive mailbox updates for an OpenEdge client.
Intangere thus signed up for the program and created a control that mimics the behavior of a real Exchange Web Services control. This test has been surprisingly successful, and this article provides some information about the test and the code and a document that describes its use.
