UNIT-e Tools for Visual Studio

UNIT-e Tools for Visual Studio
Integrating UNIT-e business entities and processes to Visual Studio gives users huge potential to create highly customised applications and functionality and provides all the power, security and configurability of UNIT-e within the industry standard Visual Studio design environment.

Built upon UNIT-e Information Interface (II) it contains design time tools such as Data Manager Designer and Data Explorer that are embedded into the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE). With the creation of this advanced, bespoke functionality, the UNIT-e suite becomes available to users from within an in-house application or via a website.

UNIT-e toolsets such as XML Export* and SharePoint* are accessible. This allows users to import UNIT-e style functionality to your own applications or expose UNIT-e functionality to other applications via web services even when there is otherwise little or no relationship with UNIT-e.
