System Requirements for BFC and B1Framework Programming

• Visual Studio 2012 (BFC only) or 2010 SP1 (BFC and B1Framework)
   
• Microsoft C#, Visual C++ and/or Visual Basic (VB.NET)
   
• Windows 8, Windows 7, and/or Windows Server 2008
   
• Enterprise Library 5.0 and .Net Framework 4.0 (for B1Framework only)
   
• At least 4 GB RAM recommended
   
• 4 GB free hard drive space for development
  (for applicable class libraries, help system, third party libraries, debug & release builds of Demo & Starter Applications, Internet Server demo, plus room for your own application and optional sample local database)
   
• Database software (one or more of the following versions or higher):
  • Microsoft SQL Server (v. 2008)
  • Oracle (v. 11g, 10g) (Windows, Unix, and Linux)
  • IBM DB2 Universal (v 9.7) (Windows, Linux/Unix, OS/390) and iSeries (v. 6.1)

  • MySQL (v. 5)
  • Sybase Adaptive Server (v. 12.5.1)

Presentation tools such as Crystal and Pinnacle Graphics are built into BFC, so it is not necessary to install these packages.  The required headers, libraries and DLLs are installed as part of BFC.  However, if you want to review sample code, utilities, or documentation for any of these products, you may want to install the software.  Also, to implement any new reports using Crystal, you must install Crystal Reports, and to implement any new graph, you must purchase Graphics Server 5.5. (Crystal 8 or 8.5, the last versions to support MFC, is required to develop MFC C++ Windows Crystal reports, and SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2012 or 2010 is recommended for developing C# or VB.NET, ASP.NET web, or WinForm reports that support high quality printing.)
