Microsoft’s head may have been in the (computing) cloud at the Professional Developers Conference, but its partners were firmly grounded on the show floor. Several Microsoft partners announced software rollouts or revisions at the PDC, held this week in Los Angeles.
Atalasoft, a developer of document imaging components, demonstrated Vizit SP, a document viewing control for Microsoft SharePoint. “[PDC] is a developers’ show, but people are very interested in trying out things for SharePoint,” said CEO Bill Bither.
Given the enormous popularity of Apple’s iPhone, it was only a matter of time before a Microsoft partner crossed the line. ComponentOne announced ComponentOne Studio for iPhone, a development kit for creating ASP.NET controls optimized for displaying pages on the iPhone and iPod Touch interfaces.
.NET component maker Developer Express and Microsoft jointly announced CodeRush Xpress, a code-quality solution for C#. It is available for free either from DevExpress or from Microsoft’s MSDN website, and provides up to 25 code refactorings, said CTO Julian Bucknall.
Gizmox, a startup that produces software development kits for Web applications, demonstrated Visual WebGui, a rapid application development framework for AJAX and Silverlight development. Applications run server side, and VWG transfers only metadata to clients. Controls are drawn within the browser.
Code-quality tool maker Gnoso made NCover 3.0 generally available at PDC. NCover provides code coverage for .NET by analyzing the effectiveness of unit tests. The update was written in WPF, and it has new analysis and reporting capabilities. NCover now measures cyclomatic complexity and decision points as well as supporting trending, said Joe Feser, a senior software architect with Gnoso.
Component maker Infragistics revealed NetAdvantage for Silverlight, a prerelease suite of data visualization tools for displaying key performance indicators in business applications. It also announced the general availability of .NET Framework component tool sets for ASP.NET, Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The company said its .NET control suites are sufficiently complete to let developers create lines of business applications.
Performance tool provider JNBridge revealed version 1.1 of its JMS (Java Message Service) Adapter for BizTalk Server. The release expands facilities for handling problem transactions and provides throttling capabilities to give developers more control over the rate at which messages are sent to BizTalk for processing. “It is more enterprise-friendly,” said CTO Wayne Citrin.
