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 3.5.
The main thrust of the new version 3.5 release of mv.NET is an
extensive re-work of the core session management components in
order to build upon the already sound basis of mv.NET in the
areas of system reliability, performance, resource utilization,
scalability and overall robustness.
"We think that users will appreciate the effort which has gone
into the enhancements to the session management component, as
this is a unique and important aspect of the product", explains
David Cooper, Lead Developer at BlueFinity International.
"We are starting to see some very large installations going live
and the extra features within the session manager will allow them
greater flexibility in managing large user communities."
As well as setting the foundation for advanced session
management as the product moves forward, mv.NET Version 3.5 marks
the start of a significant investment by Bluefinity into Web
application development tools for MultiValue developers wishing
to use Visual Studio as their application development
environment. It also sets the foundation for the adoption
of the new Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF) technologies introduced in .NET
framework 3.0.
With Version 3.5 also comes full support for AJAX within the
Web Binding Objects component - a feature which has been eagerly
awaited by the market. This innovation gives MultiValue
developers access to a wide range of Web development techniques
for improving the look, feel and operation of Web-based
applications. "AJAX gives developers a framework for
significantly enhancing the usability and interactivity of Web
applications," Cooper says.
Although AJAX is not a brand new technological initiative,
with the release of Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX framework 1.0, many
view it as coming of age. "mv.NET provides users of Visual
Studio with tremendous time and complexity savings when creating
AJAX-oriented web applications that access backend MultiValue
databases."
A series of other refinements and additional functionality are
included within the release. Visit www.bluefinity.com
