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
Visual Studio .NET combined with the .NET Framework and Windows Server 2003 helps developers and
architects rapidly build secure, reliable, high performance distributed applications and Web
services that span devices and development environments. Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect
includes developer editions of the powerful and reliable .NET Enterprise Servers, including Windows
Server 2003, making it easier to build applications that will scale to meet the most demanding
requirements of a global organization.
Take advantage of architectural templates and best practices and effectively collaborate with
your development teams
Create Enterprise Framework and Template projects, and policies that include best practices and
guidance for building distributed n-tier applications. Safely share source code, design documents,
and other development assets with integrated version control capabilities.
Build broad-reach applications for any type of client and boost developer productivity
Use the .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET unified environment to build Web services, browser-based
Web applications, smart client applications or mobile applications based on your organization's
development needs.
Harness powerful servers
Build scalable, high-performance applications using full developer versions of servers including
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Commerce
Server, and Microsoft Host Integration Server.
Test Web services and applications
Quickly create and run tests within the Visual Studio .NET environment to fine-tune the performance
and scalability of Web services and applications using Application Center Test (ACT).
Streamline your development life cycle
Choose from a broad range of life-cycle and productivity tools that integrate with the Visual Studio
.NET environment to support all stages of the software development life cycle. Select the appropriate
language for your application development needs from more than 20 languages supported in the .NET
Framework.
