Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional


Product Overview for Visual Studio .NET
Professional

Visual Studio .NET Professional offers a visionary yet practical development tool for creating the next generation of applications. Developers can use Visual Studio .NET Professional to:
  • Build the next-generation Internet. Developers can employ XML and built-in Microsoft ADO.NET tools to build high-performance, data-driven applications that target a variety of platforms.

  • Develop powerful applications quickly. With an integrated development environment (IDE) for all languages, developers can take advantage of a common toolbox, debugger, and task window, greatly reducing the developer learning curve.

  • Create solutions that span any device and integrate with any platform. Visual Studio .NET Professional gives developers the tools for integrating solutions across operating systems and languages.

Build the Next-Generation Internet
  • Visual Studio .NET enables developers to rapidly build next-generation Internet applications that target any device and integrate with any platform. By providing the most modern and feature-rich development environment, Visual Studio .NET gives developers the tools for integrating solutions across operating systems and languages. With Visual Studio .NET, developers can easily convert existing business logic into reusable XML Web services, encapsulating processes and making them available to applications on any platform. Developers can easily incorporate any number of XML Web services that are cataloged and available in many independent Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) directories, providing a strong foundation of services and business logic for applications. Build Data-Driven Applications with XML

  • Using XML, an industry-standard technology for describing data, Visual Studio .NET developers can build high-performance, data-driven applications. Developers can also use built-in ADO.NET tools that target a variety of databases, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or any other XML-based source. With intrinsic support for XML, ADO.NET enables developers to share data across disparate computing platforms. Additionally, Visual Studio .NET Professional includes the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000), which is 100 percent compatible with a SQL Server 2000 database. Use Server-side Business Logic

  • Visual Studio .NET allows programmers to create and deploy critical server-based business logic. Historically, server-based programming has been tedious to code, prone to error, and difficult to test. With Visual Studio .NET , developers can visually compose middle-tier components using the Visual Component Designer, which enables developers to drag nonvisual objects - such as message queues, timers, and event logs - to a design surface from the Server Explorer, a new tool window that automatically discovers all necessary server-based resources.

Target Any Internet Device and Integrate with Any Platform Streamline Web-based Development
  • With its powerful WYSIWYG designer for Web pages, IntelliSense HTML editing features, and Style Sheet Editor, Visual Studio .NET helps developers feel comfortable authoring complex Web-based solutions. Developers can also leverage Visual XML designers and IntelliSense XML tag completion for drag-and-drop creation and manipulation of data. By using automatically generated client-side validation code, Web developers can reduce the amount of client-side JavaScript and ensure that their application will work in both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers. Build Windows-based Applications

  • Windows developers will find the new Windows Forms to be intuitive and efficient. Windows Forms are also compatible with any .NET-based language - including Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET. With visual inheritance, developers can greatly simplify the creation of Windows-based applications by centralizing in parent forms the common logic and user interface for their entire solution. Using control anchoring and docking, programmers can build resizable forms automatically, while the in-place menu editor enables developers to visually author menus directly from within the Forms Designer. Reach Mobile Devices

  • For the broadest possible reach to Internet-enabled devices, Visual Studio .NET provides Mobile Internet features that enable developers to build a single mobile Web interface to support a broad range of devices - including WML 1.1 for WAP cell phones, compact HTML (cHTML) for i-mode phones, and HTML for Pocket PCs, Palm devices, and pagers. Server-side mobile controls intelligently generate the appropriate rendering and pagination for the target Web device, providing a rich and consistent user experience while preserving developer flexibility.

Increase Developer Productivity
  • Visual Studio .NET continues to set the benchmark for developer productivity. With the single, unified integrated development environment (IDE) for all languages, including Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET, Microsoft Visual C++® .NET, and Microsoft Visual C# .NET, development organizations can take advantage of a common toolbox, debugger, and task window, greatly reducing the developer learning curve and ensuring that developers can always choose the language most appropriate for their task and expertise. With IntelliSense statement completion and automatic syntax error checking, Visual Studio .NET informs developers when code is incorrect and provides immediate insight into class hierarchies and APIs. Using the Solution Explorer, developers can easily reuse code across projects and even build multiple-language solutions that most effectively meet their business needs. And, thanks to the fully extensible IDE, developers can enjoy the benefits of a vibrant third-party add-in and component vendor community - with components and controls to help them further customize and extend the environment to suit their needs.

  • Using the Visual Studio .NET application wizards, project templates, and example source code, developers can rapidly create applications for Windows, the Web, and devices - with minimal up-front investment. Dynamic Help and the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN®) provide assistance based on the current task and programming language, ensuring that developers are never at a loss for information on the Microsoft .NET platform or their language of choice. Visual Studio Macros, similar to the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macros in Office, enable automation of routine tasks within the IDE, further enhancing the overall productivity of Visual Studio developers.

Choose from Multiple Languages
  • Finally, developers can choose from a set of modernized languages and use the most appropriate language to solve their business problems. With Visual Basic .NET, developers gain a fully modernized, object-oriented programming language that is immediately familiar to legions of existing programmers. New Structured Exception Handling enables Visual Basic developers to write error-handling code once and store it in a central location for easy reuse. Visual Basic developers enjoy a familiar syntax, along with optional power features such as object-oriented programming and thread support.

  • Visual C# .NET, Microsoft's new language, offers increased productivity for the C and C++ developer. Visual C# .NET provides first-class support for components with properties, methods, indexers, attributes, versioning, and events - while providing robust and efficient support for the .NET platform.

  • Visual C++ .NET continues to provide maximum power, performance, control, and flexibility for creating applications that leverage Windows directly. With new attribute-based programming and ATL Server, an extension to the ATL libraries, developers can use the C++ syntax to build ISAPI Web applications. Additionally, C++ developers can target the Microsoft .NET Framework with Managed Extensions to C++.
