Microsoft .Net Development

The following is a summary of the solutions and tools we utilize every day in our .Net development projects:

• C#, Visual C++, ASP.Net, VB .Net - One of the great things about the .Net platform is that you can utilize many different programming languages and still get the features and great performance provided by the platform. We can develop your solution such that if you have internal programming staff we can use the language and methodology they are most familiar with for seamless integration into your existing systems. This web site utilizes ASP .Net and the tabbed control on the home page is ASP .Net AJAX.

• SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server Express - One of the advantages of .Net is the tight integration with the MS Database suite of of applications. In addition other database vendors like Oracle are providing .Net data providers to take advantage of their feature set and optimize performance.

• BizTalk Server, SOAP, XML - Microsoft BizTalk Server is used to connect systems both inside and across organizations. This includes exchanging data and orchestrating business processes which require multiple systems. Obviously the .Net platform provides a full set of libraries to integrate Biz Talk into your applications.

• SharePoint Server - Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is a new server program that is part of the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Your organization can use Office SharePoint Server 2007 to facilitate collaboration, provide content management features, implement business processes, and supply access to information that is essential to organizational goals and processes.
  
  You can quickly create SharePoint sites that support specific content publishing, content management, records management, or business intelligence needs. You can also conduct effective searches for people, documents, and data, participate in forms-driven business processes, and access and analyze large amounts of business data.
  
  CLS can get you up and running on SharePoint Server and train you in the basic administration tasks required. The true advantage of this system is that you don't need an army of web developers to take advantage of this solution.

• Asp.Net Web Services - Web services extend the World Wide Web infrastructure to provide the means for software to connect to other software applications. Applications access Web services via ubiquitous Web protocols and data formats such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP, with no need to worry about how each Web service is implemented. Web services combine the best aspects of component-based development and the Web, and are a cornerstone of the Microsoft .NET programming model.
