SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft Corp. partners will be showing their support for
the software giant's development tools platform at the VSLive developer conference
here this week.
Infragistics Inc., of East Windsor, N.J., a Microsoft partner and maker of
reusable presentation layer components for building Microsoft .NET, Common
Object Model (COM) and Java applications, announced a new version of its
NetAdvantage suite of components for Visual Studio .NET 2003.
The new version will ship on March 1 and will be called NetAdvantage 2003
Volume 1. The new release features enhancements to the ASP.NET Grid and compatibility
with Visual Studio .NET 2003, which will be released in April.
Brad McCabe, a technical evangelist with Infragistics, said the new naming
scheme for the product line indicates its alignment with Microsoft's releases.
Infragistics also offers a subscription for the suite.
Infragistics' NetAdvantage 2003 costs $495, the subscription costs $695,
and the enterprise edition is $995. The subscription includes all updates,
upgrades, Infragistics .NET source code and all new components added to NetAdvantage
2003 for one year. The enterprise edition includes products, source code,
an annual subscription and priority support for a year, the company said.
Infragistics plans to release versions of its NetAdvantage developers suite
for the Tablet PC and the .NET Compact Framework later this year.
Meanwhile, Borland Software Corp., which became the first independent software
vendor to license the .NET Framework software developers kit, will announce
Optimizeit Profiler for the Microsoft .NET Framework, a move that will bolster
the company's support for developers building .NET applications.
Optimizeit Profiler for the .NET Framework supports all .NET managed code
and provides real-time performance profiling to identify performance issues
even down to highlighting a specific line of source code that is causing
a problem, the company said.
In addition, the Scotts Valley, Calif., company will announce that it has
joined the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Integration Program. The program
helps ISVs integrate their products with the .NET platform.
Borland also is scheduled to release its Enterprise Studio Version 5 this
week.
San Diego-based eHelp Corp. announced RoboHelp Office Pro for .NET, a Help
authoring tool for the .NET Framework. The product supports new Windows forms,
ASP.NET Web Forms and XML Web services, company officials said. It is priced
at $1,999 and includes context-sensitive Help APIs and a new server component,
the company said.
And ActiveState Corp., of Vancouver, British Columbia, will announce a product
known as PerlASPX 1.0, which makes the Perl language available as an ASP.NET
programming language for creating ASP.NET-compliant pages and Web services.
