Time To Move Your Business Applications To Silverlight!

March 23, 2010 - PRLog -- March 10, 2010 – IdeaBlade, the industry’s most mature provider of RIA Services infrastructure for Silverlight and WPF applications, and Perpetuum Software LLC, the premier vendor of .NET components for data reporting, analysis and visualization, announced a bundle allowing developers to easily build Silverlight business applications with Reporting.

Silverlight is undoubtedly one of the most successful Microsoft’s achievements of the last years. It promises to up-end the classic approach to business applications, delivering richer UI, combining the quality of Windows applications and easy-deployment of Web. From the other side, lack of business-crucial functionality makes Silverlight weak when it comes to real-life development…

Launching the DevForce & Report Sharp-Shooter Silverlight Bundle to the software market, IdeaBlade and Perpetuum Software relieve developers from two heavy headaches of Silverlight applications building: data infrastructure and reporting capabilities. The product represents an ultimate package of tools allowing building Rich Internet Applications on the top of rich business model with powerful reporting functionality.

Being named the Best Silverlight Tool by the Code Project community, in this solution, DevForce is responsible for building a powerful domain model with custom business logic, validation and security … a model that’s easy to maintain and evolve to keep pace with requirements. Business objects, asynchronous persistence management, caching for performance, and offline scenarios are out-of-the-box simple. Thus, developers do not waste time writing and debugging their own service and business layers, but focus on developing the workflow, user experience, and features that are critical to the business.

Being the unique reporting tool for Silverlight on the software market, Report Sharp-Shooter role in the bundle is to provide a developer with everything necessary to build corporate reporting systems and integrate them directly into Silverlight applications. The reporting tool does not put any limits on report types, provides visual designer to easily create them, allows enriching the reports with charts, gauges, pivot tables, and more. Users of the final application in Silverlight can print a report directly from a browser, preview it in different modes, download a report as PDF, export it to Excel, RTF, XPS, and HTML.

As it is reported by companies, this is a very successful but just the first step of cooperation between IdeaBlade and Perpetuum Software in brining Silverlight technology to business. The companies intend to extend the collaboration and to share their best achievements with growing fellowship of Silverlight.
