Vendidi Framework comprises a Class Library and a database structure that a developer can use to speed up the development of .NET applications and dramatically improve productivity. It's a solution to the requirements of enterprise applications, with a library of ready to use classes, that represent abstractions of objects found in most problem domains, and an infrastructure of basic functionalities, like remoting and O/R mapping. A developer can just use the available classes, which are highly customizable, or derive from them to build on the existing features and exploit the underlying infrastructure. A web application is included for data setup and management.
These are the main features:
A wide range of concrete classes is available, representing abstractions of objects commonly found within the domain of most Windows and web applications: catalogs, categories, products, parties (persons and organizations), roles, relationships, addresses, languages, currencies , etc.
Dynamic properties allow to extend existing classes to meet specific requirements, without necessarily deriving from them. A fully comprehensive definition of the type of a dynamic property (data type, range of valid values, default value, etc.) enables effective runtime validation of assigned values.
The definition of multiple languages and currencies enables the development of fully globalized applications. Multilingual dynamic properties, accepting different values for different languages, can also be defined.
A customizable O/R mapping infrastructure allows to define the association between a class and a table, a field and a column. Not only value-type fields, but also object-type fields can easily be mapped to a column through a simple attribute.
Fully remotable classes enable the creation of n-tier applications based on .NET Remoting technology. The number of tiers can be easily varied according to specific software or hardware constraints.
