Team Developer 6.0 Video Demo

Need to see TD 6.0 for yourself? Contact us at info@unify.com to request a video demo of Team Developer 6.0’s stunning .NET capabilities. The video contains a live demonstration of Team Developer 6.0 showing the compilation of .NET Winform, .NET WPF Desktop and .NET WPF Browser applications. The video also shows new interaction capabilities between TD and .NET and .NET and TD. You will see how to call .NET class libraries from within Team Developer applications and see how you can reuse Team Developer business logic from a C# application using Visual Studio.

Team Developer 6.0 - Join the .NET Family

Unify’s Team Developer 6.0, due in 2010, will provide you with all the .NET options you want. By changing the build target from Win32 to .NET you will be able to leverage your existing investments in TD code on .NET. For .NET targets, you have multiple options for deployment. You can use the latest WPF apps with stunning XAML based GUIs that can be deployed to Windows Desktop or as Browser apps.

TD 6.0 includes a true .NET MSIL compiler -- no migration process involved -- to compile existing and new applications to a variety of .NET build targets.

The new .NET build targets in TD 6.0 include WPF based Desktop and Browser applications. WPF is a new Microsoft .NET technology that allows you to separate the user interface from the application. The user interface of WPF apps is written in XAML an XML based description of the GUI. TD 6.0 generates XAML files for all the windows of an application. These XAML files can then be edited by designers to apply custom themes or any other properties from the rich and powerful XAML language, giving TD WPF apps truly outstanding GUI capabilities.

The WPF applications can be deployed as desktop and browser applications, including a new thin client for database connectivity based on Microsoft WCF that avoids installing database client software on every user’s machine. Instead, database access is managed on the server side.

TD 6.0 can also build .NET Winform applications, which are similar to the existing Win32 apps, but run on the .NET framework.

Using TD 6.0, TD business logic can be compiled into .NET Web Services, including a wizard for deploying the compiled Web Services on IIS. Another option for providing .NET business logic with TD 6.0 is to compile it to a .NET assembly (dll) and consume that dll from other .NET languages like C#. You can also call .NET methods from within TD apps, regardless if you are using a Win32 or a .NET build target.
