U2 Toolkit for .NET
new .NET solutions
U2 Toolkit for .NET (U2NETDK) delivers a comprehensive ADO.NET provider, LINQ to Entity 4.0, and the native UniObjects for .NET API for the U2 databases. Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or later to build your applications and take advantage of the powerful Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and CLR 4.0. Use U2 Connection Pools that were designed for high-performance web applications to complete your solution. U2NETDK works with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems.
pathway to performance
U2NETDK includes an ADO.NET provider optimized for connection performance to a U2 database. The U2NETDK provider is a suite of data-access technologies that are included in the .NET Framework class libraries. ADO.NET helps applications connect to a database, and has been designed to be the single data access model used by all server processes and applications running on the Microsoft platform.
LINQ to success
U2NETDK delivers a LINQ to Entity Framework provider for the U2 databases. Instead of relying on a physical storage model to access data, you can query and update data using a conceptual model generated as Entity Data Model (EDM) schemas. You can also develop LINQ to Entities applications to access data in UniData and UniVerse databases.
native API
UniObjects for .NET (UO.NET) is an interface to UniData and UniVerse through Microsoft .NET. UniObjects for .NET is an application program interface (API) designed specifically for use with U2 native data model. This interface is managed code written in C# Common Language Runtime (CLR). Software developers can use the UniObjects for .NET API and any CLR language to create applications and services. UO.NET supports SSL, NLS, and I18N.
choose your language
.NET programmers can choose from a wide variety of languages, including C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI, and IronPython. Use the most effective language for your application to access your U2 data.
look to the future
U2 Toolkit for .NET really is the intelligent and flexible future of .NET programming interfaces to UniData and UniVerse. Use U2NETDK to build, deploy and manage innovative, high-performing, reliable, secure applications and services of all types.
system requirements
U2 Toolkit for .NET is supported on Microsoft Windows XP, 7, 2008 and 2003 with .NET 4.0 Framework using Visual Studio 2010 SP1 with ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.1 to connect to UniData 7.1 and UniVerse 10.3 and higher.
