DevForce Family of Products
DevForce is the industry’s most mature and extensible .NET application server and
development framework. DevForce simplifies data access, improves user-interface
design, and enables rich on-demand applications to operate over the internet. In
addition, DevForce provides a complete migration path to, and support for next-generation
Microsoft technologies such as LINQ, Entity Framework, WPF,
and Silverlight.
Protect Your .NET Investment
The DevForce family of products protects your investment in people, software, and
processes by bridging your development to future Microsoft technologies. Whether
you are ready to take on new technologies today such as the Entity Framework or
Silverlight or have plans to migrate to these technologies in the future, DevForce
ensures a smooth upgrade path with a consistent development methodology and discounted
upgrade pricing.
Regardless of whether you’ve chosen to use WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET, Silverlight,
or a mixture of these technologies, DevForce enables you to develop a single, rich
domain model that can be shared across all of these environments. The client-side
application also has access to the same business object model as the server, so
there is no need to create duplicate logic that has to be kept in sync.
DevForce products are available in three Classic editions and three EF editions
to accommodate the needs of small development teams to large enterprise organizations.

rule validation. DevForce EF carries forward most of the features and all of our
experience from DevForce "Classic" dating back to 2001.

and deployment for 2-tier and n-tier environments. Key features include enterprise-grade

of the Entity Framework today and provides a safe development path to using the
Entity Framework tomorrow.
