BlueFinity Announces Plans for mv.NET Version 4

BlueFinity International, a member of the Mpower1 group of companies, and a provider of .NET connectivity tools for MultiValue developers, has unveiled plans for its next major release. The key direction for mv.NET Version 4 is the support of new Microsoft technologies.

According to BlueFinity, Microsoft has enhanced the range of features and scope for third-party integration within Visual Studio. mv.NET V4.0 will take advantage of these enhancements to provide even tighter MultiValue database integration and further functionality within Visual Studio.

mv.NET V4.0 will provide a version of the product targeted at Microsoft’s .NET Framework 3.5 release while also maintaining support for Framework 2.0. mv.NET V4.0 will introduce support for Windows 64-bit platforms in addition to the current 32-bit support. Visual Studio 2008 32-bit and 64-bit will be fully supported within mv.NET. Additionally, further enhancements will be made in mv.NET V4.0 to extend the current support for foreign character sets. Additionally, a new data connector will be released to provide SSIS integration, offering what the vendor describes as an easy-to-use and versatile capability to move MultiValue resident data bi-directionally to and from Microsoft SQL Server.

In Version 4.1, Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) will be an integral part of the .NET Framework, and mv.NET V4.1 will supply a LINQ provider that leverages the unique abilities of the MultiValue database model. Additionally, though Microsoft is still in its early adopter phase for Silverlight, BlueFinity plans tht mv.NET V4.2 will offer the database connectivity that will be a key aspect in the creation of business-based Silverlight applications.

BlueFinity is accepting applications for the Version 4 early adopters program. Those interested in testing their applications against mv.NET V4 should email v4@bluefinity.com for details.

The latest product information will be available at a London seminar in the U.K. on April 22.

mv.NET is available for D3, jBASE, mvBASE, Power95, QM, Reality, UniData, UniVerse, UniVision and others by request. Visit here for more information.
