Accelerator for .NET
The Next Generation for Development
"A complete Presentation Framework for both WPF and Silverlight. Surround delivers yet again on the "Better Together" mantra for both Windows and Web Solutions."
Accelerator for .NET extends all the power and benefits of Accelerator to the Microsoft .NET development environment. A base set of functionality, core structured architecture and wizard-driven code generation opens up a new world of possibilities for .NET Developers.
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
Windows Presentation Foundation, or WPF, is Microsoft’s new platform for developing feature rich Windows desktop front ends. Capable of integrating advanced user experience components, like complex images, 3D graphics, video and audio, WPF delivers visually stunning interfaces with new levels of User productivity.
Silverlight
Silverlight brings the same rich user experience to web applications. Silverlight is a powerful environment offering cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device compatibility to simplify your development efforts .What’s more, much of the code for WPF and Silverlight is compatible with each other, so you leverage what you’ve already done between them.
Productive User Experience (Better Together)
WPF for Rich Windows Clients and Silverlight for Reach Web Clients, deliver the most productive user experience available today for their respective users. Developers should not pick one, they should develop for both. With a complete core presentation layer and system generation for both WPF and Silverlight, Surround delivers on the “Better Together” mantra providing both Windows (Rich) and Web (Reach) Solutions. Now you can let your users choose.
Productive Development Environment
Visual Studio is one of the most productive Integrated Development Environments a developer can use and has an extensive ecosystem of controls, developers, and vendors that have evolved over the last twenty years. Microsoft continues to make significant strides in the entire Visual Studio suite from the development options to the entire development lifecycle of the Team System.
Integration with Power IBM i Systems
Accelerator for .NET is the fastest and easiest way to bring these advanced user experiences to your IBM i Systems. Enrich your development with web services, multithreaded performance, advanced web technologies, platform independence and more.
Integration with Accelerator for Visual LANSA
Accelerator for .NET bridges a whole new world of options to Visual LANSA developers. And, of course, Accelerator for .NET seamlessly integrates with the full Accelerator Development Solutions line from Surround, like Accelerator Business Objects and Service (BOS). All while retaining the value of your System i and LANSA development.
.NET Service Agent for Visual LANSA
The ultimate way to connect .NET development to any Visual LANSA application. .NET Developers can integrate with both client and server VL apps as easily as they do any other .NET system.
Plus you can deliver program and web services, establish multiple process/session connections with LANSA, create run-time instances of LANSA objects, and handle session management with pre-start, min and max session configuration.
Exceptional Performance
Surround’s core system architecture provides peak performance through the implementation of WCF, multi-threaded data access, the .NET Framework and more. Users will accomplish more than ever before possible.
Deployment
The underlying .NET Framework and One Click deployment make deployment hassles a thing of the past.
Plus, built in multiple tier and connectivity options using WCF (Direct TCP/IP, Web Services, etc) provide limitless possibilities for your deployed system infrastructure.
