Vendors Rally Behind .NET Framework

Development tools, components timed to Visual Studio.NET release

By David Rubinstein

July 15, 2001 — (Page 1 of 2)
ATLANTA - While most of the third-party software companies exhibiting at Microsoft's Tech-Ed conference were offering tools for storage management, performance tuning and systems administration, the show floor also hosted developed tools targeted at e-business and Web applications.

Open-source-tool providerActiveState Inc.released Visual Perl, Visual Python and Visual XSLT for Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET beta 2. These tools will allow developers to develop for those languages using Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET IDE, according to ActiveState senior developer Eric Promislow. At the end of May, ActiveState also was due to release PerlNET, a separate product included in ActiveState's Perl Developers' Kit, which Promislow explained is a way for developers to create .NET components from native Perl, using a compiler that brings Perl code into Microsoft's .NET Framework Intermediate Language. Visual Perl is available for $495; the other two language kits are available in beta as free downloads fromwww.activestate.com/aspn.

Fujitsu Software Corp.is integrating its COBOL compiler into Visual Studio.NET through Microsoft's Visual Studio Integration Partner program. The company claims this integration will help speed integration of legacy code into Web-enabled applications through a single development environment. The company plans to release the upgraded product later this year.

IT Factory Inc.announced a visual development tool for collaborative knowledge management applications on Microsoft's Exchange 2000 and SharePoint Portal Servers. The ITF Development Center provides an interface within Microsoft's Visual InterDev Web development system, according to the company, which developers can use to speed creation of applications. Developers use the visual development tool for objects, properties and methods, while the Development Center automatically maps and links to Exchange or SharePoint through a server extension that also enables creation of SOAP objects. A runtime server extension allows developers to incorporate collaborative capability such as threaded discussion management into their applications. Development Center is expected to be available later this month at a starting price of $1,495 per developer.

Mainsoft Corp.previewed Visual MainWin for .NET, an application-porting platform that lets developers compile or take Visual C++ applications natively to Unix and Linux platforms, according to area technical manager Andy Milo. With a configuration control panel integrated into Visual Studio.NET, developers can deploy applications to multiple targets from within the IDE to provide native code, not merely emulation, he said. Pricing has not been set; the tool is expected to ship toward the end of the year. Unix platforms supported include AIX, HP-UX and Solaris.
