Source Code
|
Source code for Bennet-Tec components are
available for purchase, providing much more than the peace of mind you have
always wanted when using components. It ensures the life of your application,
provides maximum code flexibility, and can be a great learning and debugging
tool. The power of object-oriented programming is multiplied exponentially when
you extend our source code for your own purposes. It's the unique advantage you
need to stand out from any competitor.
|
Note: Please
be aware that we do not provide technical support on our source code. It is
outside of the scope of our technical support department to explain the purpose
of any portion of the source code, nor do we troubleshoot or debug modified
versions of our source code. |
