mv.NET Version 4: Making Microsoft Work for MultiValue!
November
4, 2008 – London, UK -
BlueFinity International, a member of the Mpower1 Group of
Companies, is pleased to announce the general availability of the
latest version of its extensive toolset designed for creating
Microsoft .NET-based applications requiring access to MultiValue
databases: mv.NET Version 4.
mv.NET
provides a 100% native .NET interface to all major MultiValue
database platforms allowing .NET developers to access all aspects of
the MultiValue system (both data and program code) from within the
.NET application. It also offers a wealth of end-user capabilities
allowing the developer to rapidly create feature-rich, high
performance applications using the powerful tools provided by
Microsoft's .NET environment.
The main
thrust of Version 4.0 of mv.NET is to extend support for newer
operating system platforms and .NET frameworks along with enhanced
support for various foreign language-based Windows installations.
The launch of Version 4 also introduces a new product called mv.SSIS,
a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) component which provides
complete integration of the mv.NET ADO.NET provider with the SSIS
environment. This allows drag-and-drop creation of standard SSIS
packages within the SSIS design studio, providing seamless transfer
of data between MultiValue databases and SQL.
“The
mv.SSIS product follows in the footsteps of its other sibling
BlueFinity products by providing the SSIS developer with a tightly
integrated, natural extension to the native SSIS environment
allowing them to seamlessly incorporate MultiValue data sources into
their existing or new SSIS workflow packages,” explains Pete
Loveless, CEO of BlueFinity International. “It effectively opens up
the entire SQL Server set of tools and utilities to MultiValue
database users."
Along with
support for both 32 and 64-bit operating system platforms, mv.NET
Version 4 includes support for Framework 2.0 and 3.5. “In today’s
fast changing world, some VARs and end-users will have deployed
Framework 2.0 based applications, yet new work is almost certainly
going to require Framework 3.5,” continues Loveless. “Bluefinity is
committed to enabling both frameworks to coexist and to providing
ongoing support for new versions of the .NET Framework.”
Other enhancements include support
for Visual Studio 2008, a socket connectivity option for D3
databases, and performance enhancements to the Session Manager which
reduces the connection/session allocation overhead and results in
even quicker session allocation performance for client applications.
David
Cooper, Lead Developer at BlueFinity, explains: “This latest release
demonstrates BlueFinity's commitment and ability to deliver an
aggressive product development path, focused on allowing MultiValue
developers to participate as first-class citizens of the Microsoft
developer community.”
Since finding its feet with its partnership with Mpower1
International, BlueFinity International has
delivered a series of products offering superb programmer
productivity along with components encompassing feature rich,
business application centric functionality to the MultiValue
community.
BlueFinity
is one of four MultiValue companies in Mpower1’s MultiValue stable,
which means they already have the endorsement of a large company,
excellent and dedicated management, and the financial backing
required for future development.
“The new
Version 4 release lays some important foundations for a number of
very exciting product developments in 2009,” says Cooper. “These
new developments will provide the MultiValue community with an even
greater range of choice of how to develop enterprise class
applications leveraging the best of both the MultiValue and
Microsoft technology sets.”
BlueFinity
is planning a one day technical seminar in Denver, Colorado on
Friday, March 27th at the Westin Westminster Hotel to
showcase the product set and take an in-depth
technical look at the advanced functionality by way of live
demonstrations and presentations with BlueFinity developers. More
information is available
here.
A
detailed
list of Version 4 enhancements as well as access to free webinars
and evaluations of BlueFinity products can be found at
"Heads Up on Version
4".
