"After one look at IdeaBlade’s solution, developers will be amazed with how quickly the technology allows them to create a traditional line-of-business application with Silverlight..."

Tim Heuer Community Program Manager for Silverlight at Microsoft

DevForce Silverlight Eliminates the Hassle of Writing Plumbing (and lets you focus on the higher-value business requirements and user experience.)

We have years of experience building object-relational mapping tools and have applied this experience to DevForce Silverlight, giving RIA developers the ability to build rich domain models for their Silverlight applications. Our previous expertise in building n-tier data models combined with our integration with the Silverlight 3 & 4 UI controls and validation provides developers with an environment to create powerful enterprise applications using Silverlight.

With your unlimited-use download of DevForce Silverlight, you’ll get:

Full LINQ support from the client!

  • Unlike WCF RIA Services, use the full, unrestricted LINQ syntax including subqueries, projections, and aggregation.
  • Write LINQ queries directly in the Silverlight client and get back full business objects that bind to the UI.

Huge performance boost with Client-side caching

  • Makes your application run incredibly fast.
  • Simplifies asynchronous programming by making it unnecessary in many circumstances.

Multiple client technologies

  • Reach any user, anywhere with Silverlight, WPF, WinForms and ASP.NET. DevForce supports them all! They even share the same domain model.
  • Standardize your development for all .NET client technologies on one platform, with one install of DevForce.

DevForce Silverlight will save you from countless hassles dealing with the plumbing, enable you to complete your application much faster, and provide you with amazing performance increases. But don’t just take our word for it. See for yourself with the free unlimited-use download.
