An eye from the Tech·Ed show floor


By David Worthington
June 13, 2008 — 
ORLANDO — This year’s Microsoft Tech·Ed was a departure from the megaconferences of shows past: Following the lead of last fall’s Barcelona edition, the North American meeting was split, with one week set aside for developers and  the other for IT professionals.

While at Tech·Ed Developers, from June 3–6, SD Times learned some details of what several attending Microsoft partners were working on. Here are some of the highlights from the show floor:

Atalasoft, a developer of .NET document imaging controls and tools, previewed Vivit SP, an upcoming solution that adds document imaging to SharePoint. Vivit captures document images from scanners, creates an index file and submits images to SharePoint, said Atalasoft CEO Bill Bither.

Once a document is checked into SharePoint, Vivit provides hover-over previews, as well as a zero-footprint document viewer with annotation capabilities. The final release will ship late this summer, Bither said.

Altova announced that its MapForce graphical data mapping tool now can use data from Microsoft Excel 2007, which uses Ecma-standardized Office Open XML (OOXML).

Altova’s 2008 Release 2 products, including DiffDog, an XML differencing utility and synchronization tool, and its StyleVision stylesheet designer, have been OOXML compatible since they were released in April, said Alexander Falk, product marketing manager for Altova MapForce and StyleVision.

Cliff Utstein, vice president of business development for AccuRev, a software configuration management solution maker, spoke with SD Times about an upcoming update to AccuRev that is expected to be generally available on June 24.

According to Utstein, AccuRev 4.6 has Windows Explorer integration, and introduces a mechanism called WebFileBrowser for accessing its AccuBridge SDK from the Web. AccuBridge permits AccuRev to work with third-party IDEs and tools.

The initial release of WebFileBrowser will be limited to a read-only state; the next edition will permit developers to check in code, said Utstein.

Coverity announced Prevent for C#, an expansion of the language coverage for its static analysis products. The company claims that it provides 100% path coverage to ensure that all possible execution branches are followed. Pricing is contingent on pricing size, and it will become generally available in July.

Intersoft Solutions previewed Silverlight 2 mock-ups of WebFishEye.NET, a navigation control that is modeled after Mac OS X’s Dock, and WebCoverFlow.NET, which displays pictures and video thumbnails in a slideshow.
