mv.NET Version 4.2 Release Details
July 29, 2010 - BlueFinity
International, a member of the Mpower1 Group of Companies, reveals
enhancements to mv.NET, an extensive toolset designed for creating
Microsoft .NET- based applications requiring access to MultiValue
logic and databases.
The latest release, version 4.2,
brings some important additions to BlueFinity's flagship product,
including:
-
Support for Visual Studio
2010
-
Support for Silverlight
application development
-
A new data-linked XAML Form
Creation Tool
As David Cooper, lead developer
at BlueFinity, explains "The coming-of-age of Microsoft's
Silverlight technology opens up a huge door of opportunity for
developers to create sophisticated, professional interfaces to their
existing applications without the need to learn a hat-full of new
languages and technologies. For MultiValue developers, the
opportunity is just as large because mv.NET provides everything
required to link your existing MultiValue data and programs to this
fantastic Silverlight environment".
He goes on to explain, "Silverlight
allows us to create applications that look and feel like desktop or
rich-client applications, except they run inside a Web browser
(pretty much any browser - IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari to name a
few). What's more, you create these Silverlight applications using
a single programming language (C#, VB or whatever .NET language
takes your fancy) and build it all in a single development
environment - Visual Studio."
"With the new version of mv.NET,
we haven't just paid lip service to providing Silverlight support -
we've gone the whole 9 yards and provided deep integration and
tooling for MultiValue developers. This allows you to create
stunning, industry standard applications using industry standard
tools in amazingly short timeframes."
"Silverlight has rapidly
attracted massive developer uptake -- already hundreds of thousands
of developers are creating Silverlight applications. This kind of
uptake, of course, grabs the attention of tools vendors and
consequently there is a thriving 3rd party tools and components
development community catering for the needs of pretty much the
whole application development spectrum."
Visual Studio 2010 brings the
much awaited enhancements to the Silverlight visual designer. It
also brings an improved IDE interface, making heavy use of WPF. As
Cooper explains, "It's a great development environment, used by
millions of developers around the world. It's easy to learn and
easy to use, so it's a breeze for developers with existing deep
MultiValue application development experience to add a new string to
their developer bow".
Cooper concludes, "Gone are the
days of having to use proprietary solutions to get the job done
quickly. We are now able to create state-of-the art interfaces to
our tried and trusted MultiValue applications in cost effective
timeframes using easy to learn, easy to use, industry standard
tools. Tools that allow us to start opening up this fantastic thing
called a MultiValue database to a whole world of non-MultiValue
aware developers…and that's got to be a very good thing for all of
us in the MultiValue market!"
mv.NET 4.2.3 with support for Silverlight is available now.
