We can’t believe we’re already in November. We
will continue working next year to provide you with the best
solution for application security. Majors features and improvements
are coming...Find it all in our newsletter.
About Visual Guard : VG is a ready-to-use solution that
adds Authentication, Permissions and Auditing features to your
applications. Visual Guard Supports .NET applications (Winforms,
Webforms, Webservices, WPF...), as well as PowerBuilder applications.
More information available at: http://www.visual-guard.com
What’s cooking
Release 2.8 is planned for the end of the year. Visual Guard
will offer 2 great new features:
* Support for dynamic objects: VG will be able to secure objects
created dynamically in runtime.
* Off-line mode: VG will be able to keep a user’s permissions
in memory even if the user's PC is not connected to the database
any more (laptop…).
Next step in 2009: we will extend Visual Guard support for
n-tiers applications. No matter whether the front-end directly
access the database or not: the client will call Visual Guard
webservices to verify user identity and apply user permissions.
Visual Guard will also provide a new WEB Console for administrators.
They will not need a direct access to the database nor a connection
to the organization network to manage user accounts and roles.
All they will need is an access to the Internet.

Tip of the month
As you may know, Visual Guard is able to modify the property
of objects of your application (hide a button, disable a menu,
etc...).
In some cases, the new value of a property should vary depending
on other parameters (not always disabled for example).
For example, it may vary depending on another property or on
the value of a field of the application.
Visual Guard allows you to modify the value of a property with
an expression.
For example:
- A form contains the buttons "button1" and "button2".
- Depending to the business rules of the application, "button1"
will be visible or not.
- Let's suppose that "button2" has to change at
the same time as "button1".
- We will modify the property of "button2" with
the following expression: "#this.button1.Visible"
- This expression takes the value of the property "Visible"
of "button1" to put it in the property "Visible"
of "button2".
- This kind of expressions are written in the last page of
the permission editor – when you modify the property
of the object – See screenshot.
What’s new
A new website and logo
Over the past months you may have noticed changes to the Visual
Guard website and logo. These changes have been made to improve
accessibility to the information, and make it easier to navigate
the website. You can now find new
flash animations that give you a quick look at
Visual Guard core features, and you can access a “how
to” section from the website.
We'd love to hear
your feedback about the website, and the kind of information
you’d like to find there.
New Visual Guard forum
We’ve reorganized the technical content
about Visual Guard. All technical Q&As provided by our technical
support are now centralized in our new forum dedicated to Visual
Guard. We hope it will now be easier to navigate the forum and
find the answers you need.
If you don’t find the information you’re looking
for, then post a new question and we’ll answer ASAP! That
will be very profitable for all of us!
Note: Those of you who were registered for the former forum
have received an email with a new password. For those who want
to have a look or register for the forum go to http://www.visual-guard.com/forum/index.php
