Release Date: Saturday, November 01, 2008
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. Version 4 also introduces a SQL Server Integration Service
s (SSIS
) component used to aid the transfer of MultiValue data into MS SQL Server. The SSIS
component is a separate product to mv.NET
called mv.SSIS
.
mv.SSIS
allows MultiValue users to extract data from any major MultiValue database (in both bulk and filtered export mode) to other data repositories using Microsoft's SSIS
product. The definition, testing and execution of these extraction processes is performed entirely from within the standard SSIS
environment and ensures data consistency, eliminates redundant data and saves time.
"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 will be available soon on the BlueFinity
website.
A detailed list of Version 4 enhancements as well as access to free webinars and evaluations of

products can be found at www.

About D3
The D3 DBMS embodies the best and most desired features for developers and users. It is simple in its structure but allows for complex definitions of data structures and program logic. The built-in development environment allows applications to be rapidly prototyped, developed, and modified on the spot. Custom applications and on-site enhancements are common in the D3 community. Everything required for development is already in D3, making D3 much more than a typical database environment. Site administration requires a fraction of the staff of other environments of the same size - a large proportion of sites running D3 do not have an IT staff.
D3 is developed and supported over the many environments indicated on these pages. All code and data easily migrates between environments without modification, so both developers and users can work on their platforms of choice.
Other products from TigerLogic include connectivity tools like FlashCONNECT for web, the D3 Class Libraries, the Open Systems File Interface for Oracle and other environments, and XML technologies to exchange data with other XML-compliant programs or environments.
