Microsoft's .NET development platform received boosts this week from Visible Systems, which is providing a code-generation tool based on modeling, and ClientSoft, which is enabling the integration of mainframe programs with .Net environments. Visible announced Visible Developer 3.0, which works within Microsoft's Visual Studio .Net platform to automatically generate 90 percent or more of the business logic and database access code directly from an application model, the company said. Version 3.0 adds support for Visual Basic .Net, the latest version of the programming language, and eases the transition to it, according to the company.
