Microsoft .NET Application Development
Home Software Development Microsoft .NET Application Development

If you’re looking for a programming model that’s both comprehensive and consistent, then look no further than Microsoft’s .NET Framework. It has been specifically designed in a way which guarantees object-oriented programming and security, in a way which means that problems around performance and scalability are a thing of the past.

Why do so many clients now choose .NET? Because it speeds up the time it takes to reach your market, integrates quickly and simply with other systems and improves all round performance.

What .NET provides is a hugely robust technology framework which forms the foundation for everything else. This ‘everything else’ may include advances in security, management tools and updates. Combines, they make it possible to build, test and make use of software which is both reliable and secure.

We have made widespread use of the solutions offered by .NET Framework, and done so in a way which increases our client’s competitiveness and market profile. We have built a strong team of .NET programmers whose technical experience and excellence means that they are able to take on a wide range of challenges. Whatever aspect of the system you’re thinking of, we can do it –we’ll design, develop, deploy and manage .NET solutions which are both reliable and, moving forward, reusable.

Amongst the clear benefits of Microsoft .NET application are the following:

  • Extremely Rapid Development
  • Excellent Performance
  • Strong Security
  • High levels Of Scalability
  • Unmatched Reliability
  • Flexible Re-usability
  • Proven Robustness
  • Ease of Integration with other software
  • Ease of Maintainability

Amongst the technologies which we can rightly claim to have expertise in are the following:

Asp.Net based Web Application Development

ASP.NET is a feature of the Microsoft .NET Framework. ASP.NET makes it easy to construct Web sites which are distinctive and dynamic, and create Web applications and Web services using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. ASP.NET supports all three of these approaches to building web sites, meaning it’s flexible enough to meet most needs:

Web forms: ASP.NET Web Forms means that it is possible for anyone, regardless of their experience, to build an effective website using tried and tested drag and drop techniques. The combination of the design surface and the hundreds of controls that are at your disposal means that sophisticated, slick highly powerful sites, complete with data access, can be put together simply and quickly.

Web pages: ASP.NET Web Pages and the new Razor syntax come together to keep things simple. Combining server code with HTML in a way which produces amazing web content is now fast, user friendly and lightweight. No matter what you feel your site needs, be it a connection to data bases, video content or links to social networking sites, it’s all brought easily within your reach, allowing you to tailor precisely the site you need.

MVC: ASP.NET MVC takes the form of a highly powerful patters-based system which allows for the construction of strong, effective websites boasting clearly differentiated concerns and sections. The fact that you have full control over mark up means that the development is fast, fluid and flexible.

.Net based Windows Application Development

The key to the .NET based Windows Applications which we provide lies in their flexibility. Dependent upon your needs, and the size and type of your ecommerce concerns, they can be installed on just the single computer or, instead, across all the computers in your company or on your Intranet.

Amongst our specialities are the provision of Business Automation application development including Kiosk, third party hardware integration, Credit Card or Smart Card solutions and the easy creation of highly complicated customized reports. Put it all together and what you have are low cost solutions which may cut the budget but don’t cut any corners, being user friendly, fast, interactive, secure, efficient and reliable whilst meeting the tightest of budgets.

Silverlight

Microsoft Silverlight is an application framework which is both powerful and easy to use. It can be used to create fast and extremely user friendly applications for use in either the Web, Desktop or Mobile sphere.

WCF

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) .NET based framework can be used to construct a service-oriented web or desktop application. A Client/Server based application is also easy to create utilizing the WCF in .net framework. The range of messages which can be created and utilized in this manner is genuinely dazzling, from something simple, such as a single character or word sent as XML, to something which is as complicated as a large stream of binary data.

Features which WCF can boast include:

  • Multiple Transports and Encodings
  • Transactions
  • AJAX and REST Support
  • High levels Of Scalability
  • Interoperability
  • Multiple Message Patterns
  • Service Meta data
  • Service Orientation
  • Data Contracts
  • Security
  • Extensibility
  • Reliable and Queued Messages
  • Durable Messages

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)

User interface is a vital feature of absolutely all applications. After all, customers couldn’t really care less about the programming or structures underpinning applications, they just want them to be easy to use. If they are, it makes doing business simple, which can huge benefits for both individuals and organizations.

WPF is designed and utilized with this in mind, making it as simple as it can be to create genuinely friendly and convenient user interfaces.

Using WPF as a platform and foundation, designers are able to take an active part in forming these interfaces, with a common programming model proving equally adept at handling both standalone and browser applications. With WPF in place, the user experience provided by Windows is vastly improved. As the latest in a long line of developments, WPF is taking the place of some which have been around and in common usage for the past twenty years. Such is the impact of WPF, and the breadth of the positive benefits it brings, that it is easy to imagine it being the cornerstone of application development for the next twenty years.

WPF is a resolution independent and vector based rendering engine which has been designed and built with modern graphics hardware in mind To this end, WPF has application-development features that include Extensible Application Mark up Language (XAML), layout, animation, controls, styles, data binding, templates media, text and documents.

The Features of WPF Include:

  • Rich Content support for all controls
  • Smooth fonts
  • Data Binding
  • Animations
  • Integrated video support
  • Style an application
  • Full support for documents
  • Bitmap effects

Bitmap effects

Sharing information and good practice is often at the heart of business development. Sharepoint is collaboration software that helps to make this process significantly simpler. Using it makes business intelligence, content management, sharing and search for both internet and intranet sites a much easier process.

Using Sharepoint enables anyone to create sites, lists and libraries of documents based around a design model which is data driven.

Sharepoint integrates with ASP.NET in a way which makes it easy for .NET developers to extend and expand SharePoint sites via the creation of ASP.NET components along the lines of user controls, web parts, master pages, event handlers, navigation providers, custom Http Module components and authentication providers.

Available Tools Include:

  • Visual Studio 2010.
  • SQL Server 2008
  • SharePoint Server 2010
  • Team Foundation server
  • IIS 6.0, 7.0, 7.5
  • .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5
