Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect 2003


Product Overview for Visual Studio .NET
Enterprise Architect 2003

Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect provides comprehensive tools and servers for designing and building distributed applications, and communicating development best practices. Leveraging the knowledge and experience of the key resources in an organization is critical to overall effectiveness and return on investment. Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect enables architects and senior developers to clearly define architecture and functionality for building distributed applications. Enterprise development teams then use the specified architecture to build secure, reliable, and high performance applications using Microsoft .NET technologies. Conceptual database modeling enables database designers and analysts to capture business requirements and ensure that business requirements map accurately to database models and physical database design. Enterprise templates make it easy to create development guidelines and policies and share the knowledge of senior developers and architects with less-experienced team members and create reusable application frameworks. UML-based application modeling ensures that architecture and functionality are clearly documented and communicated prior to implementation.

Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect leverages the enhanced scalability, security, reliability and performance of the .NET Framework v1.1 and Windows Server 2003 to solve today's business problems. Architects and developers can easily extend any application with scalable, reusable, newly enhanced XML Web services while maintaining investments in existing code.

Visual Studio .NET 2003 includes many exciting features, some of which are enhancements to previous versions of Visual Studio .NET and some of which are brand new - including comprehensive smart device support, multiple database connectivity, improved Visual C++ support and a new Java language for .NET, Visual J#.



BENEFITS
  • Take advantage of architectural templates and best practices.
    Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect includes the ability to create Enterprise Framework and Template projects, and policies that include best practices and guidance for building distributed n-tier applications. This enables an organization to ensure that architectural guidelines are adhered to and that developers make the best choices when building mission critical applications.

  • Visually model XML Web services and software and database applications.
    Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect allows you to clearly specify and communicate application architecture using UML modeling, and generate code in Visual Basic, Visual C++, or Visual C#. Organizations can take advantage of industry leading support for database modeling, including conceptual, logical, and physical database modeling. Also, BizTalk Orchestration Designer can be used to model business processes which can then be mapped to application functionality.

  • Speed time-to-market with high-productivity development tools.
    Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect provides a tightly integrated and unified visual environment which simplifies the process of developing Web applications, XML Web services and smart client applications and at the same time reduces the learning curve. Shared HTML, XML, and style-sheet editors make it easy to develop any class of applications from any Visual Studio language, including the new Java language for .NET, the J# programming language.

  • Easily use XML Web services to simplify distributed computing.
    With XML Web services, developers can invoke business logic over the wire using standard Internet protocols. Visual Studio .NET leverages the powerful new Web services enhancements (WSE), including WS-Security.

  • Deliver scalable and reliable solutions.
    Visual Studio .NET along with the .NET Framework and Windows Server 2003 helps developers and architects rapidly build reliable, high performance distributed applications and XML Web services that span devices and development environments. Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect includes developer editions of the.NET Enterprise Servers, and Windows Server 2003, making it easier to build applications that scale to meet the requirements of large organizations.

WHAT'S NEW

Build scalable and secure Web services and applications

Publish any application or component to the Web. Create and reuse components, and integrate applications on any platform or device by using Web services. Benefit from the support for the latest Web services standards such as WS-Security.



STANDARD FEATURES

Simplify server-based development

Visually build server-side components with Server Explorer and Visual Component Designer. Access system resources and information by using the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Server Explorer component. Use visual database tools to work with stored procedures, triggers, and indexes.

Visually model Web services and software and database applications

Clearly specify and communicate application architecture using UML modeling, and generate code in Visual Basic, Visual C++, or Visual C#. Additionally, take advantage of industry leading support for database modeling, including conceptual, logical, and physical database modeling. Also, use BizTalk Orchestration Designer to model business processes which can then be mapped to application functionality.



IMPROVED FEATURES

Build on a scalable, secure and reliable platform
