NetUnity Software Now Supports ASP.NET with Its Newly Released WSRP .NET Framework 1.5

NetUnity Software today announced the latest release of its product for developing WSRP compliant portal-based business solutions using the Microsoft .NET Framework. The latest release adds extensive support for ASP.NET. With this release of the framework, developers can implement WSRP portlets using any number of ASP.NET pages including support for the form designer, postbacks, view state and event handling. Navigate or redirect between an unlimited number of ASP.NET pages within a portlet or re-use the same page in multiple portlets for extremely rich portlet content and interactions. Other new features include Oracle database support, SOAP tracing, advance session management, improved setup and streamlined deployment.

Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) May 3, 2005 -- The NetUnity WSRP .NET Framework allows businesses to build and deploy portal-based business solutions based on the published OASIS web service standard that promotes plug-and-play interoperability among portals and portal components - Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP). IT organizations, application vendors and content providers can now implement WSRP portal solutions using .NET and the popular Visual Studio development targeting any WSRP compliant portal.

In one successful implementation, Western Corporate Federal Credit Union (WesCorp) developed numerous WSRP portlets using ASP.NET for its employee portal powered by the Vignette Application Portal. With the NetUnity WSRP .NET Framework, we were able to leverage the existing talents of our staff of .NET developers to quickly produce 15 portlets in just one month using .NET and the Visual Studio development environment", said Bob Penn, software architect at WesCorp. The ability to use traditional ASP.NET coding techniques to create portlets offers us a tremendous ability to provide very sophisticated applications for the portal environment. The NetUnity product successfully makes the creation of portlets effortless. Further, it allows us to utilize the same coding effort in both a portal and traditional web situation. By having this sort of product, we can successfully utilize the power of a Java based portal application with the familiarity and the strength of the .NET Framework. Its literally the best of both worlds!"

The WSRP .NET Framework is a comprehensive portlet development framework supporting the WSRP 1.0 specification for building compliant applications and content solutions based on XML standards and a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The framework includes the WSRP runtime service and development tools to help developers easily create WSRP compliant producers and portlets. The NetUnity WSRP .NET Framework is available for evaluation to qualified businesses or for immediate purchase.
