Product Overview for Visual Studio .NET
Enterprise Architect
Visual Studio .NET provides developers with the most productive tool for building next-generation applications for Microsoft Windows® and the Web. Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect (VSEA) builds on the power of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Developer by including additional capabilities for designing, specifying, and communicating application architecture and functionality.
Developers using Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect will benefit from the ability to:
- Visually design XML Web services. Clearly define application functionality and architecture for XML Web services and applications.
- Create and deliver architectural guidance. Take advantage of application modeling based on Unified Modeling Language (UML), which ensures that architecture and functionality are clearly documented and communicated prior to coding.
- Utilize a comprehensive open tools platform for building XML Web services. Use enterprise templates to create development guidelines and policies, share the knowledge of senior developers and architects with less experienced team members, and create reusable application frameworks for projects.
Visually Design XML Web Services and Applications
-
Use a complete set of Microsoft Visio-based modeling capabilities to create and communicate application architecture, business requirements, database design, and business processes. Architects can use UML models to specify application architecture and functionality. From those models, they can reduce development time by directly generating classes, functions, and methods in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, and Microsoft Visual C# .NET. Developers can also document existing application code by reverse engineering Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET, and Visual C# .NET projects to create architectural designs and models and to share the models with the rest of their team.
-
Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect provides full end-to-end support for database modeling, including conceptual, logical, and physical views. Business analysts can easily enter business rules using the Fact Editor, which in turn generates an underlying database model that can be refined by a database analyst into logical and physical views. Full roundtrip engineering guarantees that changes made at any of the views will be reflected throughout, improving communication across the development team.
-
Business processes can be defined and orchestrated using a full-featured version of Microsoft BizTalk Server designed for developers. This makes it easier to compose applications from existing functionality - whether that functionality is internal or external to an organization.
Create and Deliver Architectural Guidance
-
Developers have been faced with ever-increasing complexity as technologies and opportunities have proliferated. Enterprise templates and the Template Description Language will help to reduce this complexity and will increase collaboration across the development team. Architects can use enterprise template projects to create application starting points by specifying an initial application structure, including any reusable or standard components and technologies, design documents, and models. This can be further enhanced by using Template Description Language to specify the constraints for component usage throughout the application, including the ability to set property values and ranges, so that developers are more likely to make the right implementation choices. Architects can also create custom Help topics in HTML and integrate them into the Visual Studio .NET dynamic help system, so that developers have access to all the resources they need while building applications.
Build XML Web Services and Applications
-
Visual Studio .NET is the industry benchmark for developer productivity. The ultimate developer cockpit, it includes visual designers for Windows, the Web, data, and servers components to accomplish tasks more efficiently than ever before. Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, Visual Studio .NET enables seamless creation and usage of XML Web services for building the next-generation Internet.
Use an Open Tools Platform
-
Visual Studio .NET provides an open and extensible architecture that enables third-party tools and component and language vendors to seamlessly integrate into the environment, providing developers with a broad range of choices for meeting development requirements.
