Sol Developer’s Expertise in .NET
Sol Developer provides design, development
and integration business solutions based on the .NET platform.
Our team of experienced Microsoft certified .NET architects,
analysts and developers delivers a wide range of comprehensive
solutions in the following key areas.
.NET
Desktop and Web Application Development
In order to succeed in the ever evolving
and dynamically changing business environment, such features
as easiness of GUI navigation, flexibility in changing business
rules, data mining and data transformation services (DTS) are
crucial for any desktop or web application. Other important
issues that need to be considered are security, role-based access
of the information, backup/archiving, fail-safe and auto recovery,
trail-back and application logs. For achieving these common
business goals, Sol Dev.'s developers use the full range of
.NET framework functionality for building sophisticated stand-alone
applications as well as hosted applications.

.NET Software Product
Development
Possessing an in-depth understanding of independent
software vendors and software product companies' needs, such
as short development and testing lifecycles, reducing software
development and support costs, enhancing product functionality
for generating greater value to the customers, Sol dev. is committed
to providing .NET software product development services based
on specific clients' requirements and business goals. Our .NET
based product development and engineering framework encompasses
the full life-cycle starting with strategic planning and conceptualization,
architecture and design, development, testing, deployment and
enhancements up to porting and ongoing support of the end-to-end
custom software product.

Migration
of Web and Desktop Applications to .NET
For enterprises facing the need of applications or databases
migration, Sol Dev.'s .NET Department offers a comprehensive
suite of services on migration to .NET, whether it involves
migration of legacy Win32 (Visual Basic, Visual C++), J2EE,
FoxPro, Powerbuilder, Delphi, or Pocket PC based (eVB, eVC)
applications. Some of the common reasons for migration to .NET
are issues of obsolete technology and scarcity of resources
for maintaining older applications, complex architecture and
scalability problems, business logic mix-up, integration problems
with other systems and difficulty in upgrading the system for
new user requirements.
Our migration approach starts with understanding our clients'
business needs and thorough technical evaluation of the existing
applications, resulting in defining a strategy and methodology
tailored to the specific requirements and objectives of our
customers. The team comprised of experienced professionals proceeds
to the application migration with further customization and
extension, whether it is integration, web enabling, incorporating
new modules, optimizing for performance, or enhancing end user
experience. As a result, our clients can enjoy all benefits
of migration to an open, advanced, flexible, secure, reliable
and highly adopted platform - Microsoft .NET, such as: web service
support, platform independence, standard base types across languages,
multiple language support, interoperability and smooth connectivity
of multiple systems and sources of data, standard toolset for
any .Net language, support for mobile devices, standards integration
(XML, SOAP, etc.), rapid development and ease of deployment.

Web Services
Based .NET Application Development
.NET development team at Sol Dev. leverages the full range of
.NET functionality for building enterprise-class Web Services
Based .NET applications. The .NET Framework is an integral Windows
component that supports building and running the next generation
of applications and XML Web services.
ASP.NET is the hosting environment that enables to use the .NET
Framework to target Web-based applications. However, ASP.NET
is more than just a runtime host; it is a complete architecture
for developing Web sites and Internet-distributed objects using
managed code. Both Web Forms and XML Web services use IIS and
ASP.NET as the publishing mechanism for applications, and both
have a collection of supporting classes in the .NET Framework.
XML Web services, an important evolution in Web-based technology,
are distributed, server-side application components similar
to common Web sites. However, unlike Web-based applications,
XML Web services components have no UI and are not targeted
for browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
Instead, XML Web services consist of reusable software components
designed to be consumed by other applications, such as traditional
client applications, Web-based applications, or even other XML
Web services. As a result, XML Web services technology is rapidly
moving application development and deployment into the highly
distributed environment of the Internet.
The .NET Framework also provides a collection of classes and
tools to aid in development and consumption of XML Web services
applications. XML Web services are built on standards such as
SOAP (a remote procedure call protocol), XML (an extensible
data format), and WSDL (the Web Services Description Language).
The .NET Framework is built on these standards to promote interoperability
with non-Microsoft solutions.
ASP.NET is more than the next version of Active Server Pages
(ASP); it is a unified Web development platform that provides
the services necessary for developers to build enterprise-class
Web applications. While ASP.NET is largely syntax compatible
with ASP, it also provides a new programming model and infrastructure
that enables a powerful new class of applications. You can feel
free to augment your existing ASP applications by incrementally
adding ASP.NET functionality to them.

NET Application Development
& Programming
The .NET Framework created by Microsoft is
a software development platform focused on rapid application
development (RAD), platform independence and network transparency.
.NET is Microsoft's strategic initiative for server and desktop
development for the next decade. According to Microsoft, .NET
includes many technologies designed to facilitate rapid development
of Internet and intranet applications.
.NET has brought new functionalities and tools to the application
programming interface (API). These innovations allow development
of applications for both Windows and the web as well as components
and services (web services). .NET provides a new reflective,
object-oriented API. .NET is designed to be sufficiently generic
so that many different high-level languages can be compiled.
There is a collection of development tools specifically developed
for use with the .NET platform. The principal example is Visual
Studio .NET, an integrated development environment from Microsoft.
