DataDirect Connect for .NET. (Tools).DataDirect Technologies Inc. has announced DataDirect Connect for NET, new data connectivity components that enable software developers to access enterprise data using .NET. Comment: The .NET platform relies on standard data connectivity components called "data providers" that implement the ADO.NET See ADO. interfaces, enable connectivity and offer various data services to the application. Data providers are implemented as either Managed Data Providers (written in managed code), or Unmanaged Data Providers (written in unmanaged code An executable program that runs by itself. Launched from the operating system, the program calls upon and uses the software routines in the operating system, but does not require another software system to be used. ). For optimal performance, security and ease of use, developers will want to use only managed code, which runs within the Common Language Runtime See CLR. (CLR (Common Language Runtime) The runtime engine in Microsoft's .NET platform. The CLR compiles and executes programs in Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). The counterpart to the CLR for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), ECMA's standard version of . ), the environment in which NET applications run. DataDirect Technologies uses 100% managed code for its .NET Managed Data Providers. The common architecture provided by DataDirect Connect for .NET supports unique database features and functions, implemented through a standard interface across multiple data sources including Oracle and Sybase (Sybase Inc., Dublin, CA, www.sybase.com) A software company founded in 1984 that specializes in enterprise infrastructure and integration of platforms, databases and applications. . Delivering data connectivity support through standards-based technology, offers consistent access to enterprise data across .NET and other .environments such as J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. , Web, and client/server. Microsoft has provided DataDirect Technologies access to the Microsoft test suite for .NET products, allowing more rigorously testing of DataDirect Connect for .NET to provide optimal user performance. www.datadirect-technologies.com |
