Building business applications using DevForce.

DevForce enables you to build data-intensive rich internet applications quickly. Writing a whole service infrastructure and exposing multiple methods for each data type can be hard and time consuming. With DevForce, you write your Silverlight application on top of a rich business object model that executes on both the client as well as the server. Having a full client-side domain model improves responsiveness and scalability while enabling offline operation. DevForce Silverlight integrates with the new Silverlight 3 features such as the DataForm, DataGrid, and Validation while seamlessly extending Silverlight 3 Validation with IdeaBlade's popular Verification Engine. All of these features enable you to build applications in a fraction of the time and reduce code and maintenance costs. DevForce is available in the following editions:

• DevForce Universal
• DevForce Silverlight
• DevForce WinClient

Updates in 2010 (V6.1.0)

• NamedQuery support
  Dictating the server-side implementation of a query is easy using named queries. You can write several named queries for a particular entity type and offer clients a menu of query alternatives that each express a distinctive intent.
• Improvements to CompositionHost probing
  The CompositionHost now supports IgnorePatterns which can be customized as needed. The default patterns automatically ignore many third party UI assemblies to help improve startup performance.
• Multiple business application servers
  A client application can now connect to multiple business application servers.
• Enhanced dynamic query support
  "Any" and "All" FilterOperators added for use with IPredicateDescription.
  Support for dynamic async scalar operators - IEntityScalarAsync (as opposed to IEntityScalarAsync ).
