The MBR BootFX Application Framework is a best-of-breed application framework that we offer to all our clients who engage us to develop software applications or software components for them. It’s designed to give us a “leg up” on new projects by providing a tried and tested code base for common software development activities.

Core features of the framework are:

• Fully 100% managed code (i.e. Microsoft .NET) throughout with strict adherence to .NET development best practice,
• High performance data access layer that supports Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL,
• Object Relational Mapping (ORM) functionality with powerful metadata model,
• User interface components to support development of desktop applications and Web applications,
• Code generation of data access and UI classes to aid developer productivity,
• Encourages the user of appropriate and proper “n-tier” architecture,
• Automatic generation of Web service facades for the business tier, with an eye to ensuring strong cross-OS interoperability,
• Logging, instrumentation and system administrator/management support built-in,
• “In-the-field” database schema extensibility,
• Equal level of support for C# and VB .NET depending on customer requirements.
