Release Date: Monday, September 13, 2010
Microsoft's Silverlight technology has opened up a huge door of opportunity for developers to create sophisticated, professional interfaces to existing MultiValue applications in astonishingly fast timescales. Silverlight allows you to create applications that look and feel like desktop or rich-client applications, except they run inside a Web browser. What's more, you create these Silverlight applications using a single programming language and build it all in a single industry standard development environment - Visual Studio.
mv.NET from BlueFinity gives MultiValue developers everything they need to link their existing MultiValue data and programs to this fantastic Silverlight environment.
Solution Objects, part of mv.NET, allows .NET developers to easily create powerful, nested data aware business objects-based access layers to MultiValue databases that are able to run within the Silverlight browser environment. This means that Silverlight applications are able to access MultiValue data via industry standard interfaces and allows the full power of Silverlight's excellent data binding technology to be used against MultiValue data.
Silverlight and mv.NET together provide the tools to allow you to future-proof your MultiValue application, incorporate non-MultiValue programmers into your development teams and deliver cutting-edge, visually compelling browser-based applications. All of this is based on industry standard technology at a cost which makes it affordable for even the tightest of development budgets.
Let BlueFinity International show you how easy it is to amaze your customers and users by giving your MultiValue applications the Silverlight touch during a free online webinar!
This webinar will include:
- A high-level mv.NET feature summary
- A tour through an example Silverlight application highlighting key features such as application navigation, data validation, data paging, data visualization and much more
- An example of creating a data maintenance form within the above application
Various dates and times are available. Register at http://www.bluefinity.com/v4/silverlight_demo.html

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.
