Building business applications using DevForce.

DevForce gives you the ability to quickly build data-rich business applications for multiple client technologies by taking care of the back-end infrastructure and logic so you can focus on client-side development. It is a framework for building and operating applications which provides the tools, techniques, and libraries that you need to build powerful business applications fast.

The following editions are available:

• DevForce Universal
• DevForce WinClient
• DevForce Silverlight

Updates in 2010 (V6.1.3)

• The EntityManager.ImportEntities class now returns a dictionary that maps original EntityAspects to their newly imported counterparts.
• There is a new EntityQueryPager class in IdeaBlade.EntityModel that allows any EntityQuery<T> to be paged either synchronously or asynchronously.
• The new paging logic can now also account for the state of the entities in the client-side cache.
• The ibmmx file now contains a license key, allowing an application containing only a CodeFirst model to be deployed.
• The "DevForce Code First Project Item" is automatically added to a project when the "CodeFirst" template is used to generate a model.
• A project can contain multiple CodeFirst models, or a mix of CodeFirst and EDMX-based models.
• The new InternalsVisibleTo(Sytem.Runtime.Serialization) attribute allows Code First entities to be serialized between the Silverlight client and the EntityServer.
• Faster failure detection and better error messages are displayed if a connection string is not found.
• DevForce dynamic query building components help you build and execute LINQ queries on the fly.
