U2.NET
UniData and UniVerse Add-ins for Visual Studio (U2.NET) provides an ADO.NET provider and Microsoft™ Visual Studio add-ins for MultiValue-centric programming in a .NET framework.
Optimized for U2 Data Servers
U2.NET has been optimized to work seamlessly with U2 data servers,
providing high performance access. U2.NET leverages native interfaces
and, optionally, allows the use of U2 Connection Pooling to increase
scalability of your Web applications.
Supports multi-language, multi-byte character
markets
U2.NET supports Unicode and UniVerse NLS, to allow U2 customers around
the globe to take advantage of a rapid, drag-and-drop GUI and Web
development environment.
Consumability
U2.NET's focus on consumability accelerates your access to business
data and thus, your time to value. The product includes a step-by-step
installation tutorial and intuitive installation, configuration and
deployment wizards to minimize installation time and reduce or
eliminate the need to consult documentation. In those cases where
documentation is required, expanded instructions and extensive code
samples are available through the Rocket U2 DeveloperZone soon.
Developer Benefits
The U2.NET Data Manager lets you see and leverage your accounts, files
and dictionaries—either as a standalone application or integrated into
Visual Studio to allow rapid application development from a MultiValue
point of view. This powerful combination allows you to leverage the
zero code programming concepts inherent in Visual Studio. Leverage
drag-and-drop capabilities to quickly develop your application and
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) support to make your Web
applications more interactive and dynamic.
Leverage and extend your investment
U2.NET lets skilled MultiValue programmers use their extensive
knowledge and experience to take valuable business logic and data
structures to the next level. For .NET programmers familiar with U2,
U2.NET offers the best integration with Microsoft Visual Studio.
Editions
U2.NET is offered in three different editions:
U2.NET Developer Edition is used to develop and test your .NET application. It comes with two Runtime connections to be used only for development purposes.
U2.NET Runtime Edition is used for deployment of an application built with U2.NET. It can be used on its own for connectivity to U2 via database user licenses or can be combined with U2 Connection Pooling to ensure that Web applications can handle unpredictable scalability needs.
U2.NET Runtime Standby is used for a high availability configuration to provide a secondary server that can be used for quick recovery in case of system failure.
System Requirements
U2.NET is supported on Microsoft Windows XP and 2003 with .NET 2.0 Framework using Visual Studio 2005 to connect to UniData 7.1 and UniVerse 10.2 and higher.
