Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0 is a powerful development environment for rapidly creating database-driven Web applications. Integrated visual design tools, debugging support,* and database features enable you to build interactive, cross-platform Web sites quickly and easily.

Rapid end-to-end application development.

  • Use the integrated WYSIWYG page editor to visually construct sophisticated HTML pages and forms. Easily switch between multiple page views—including WYSIWYG, Source, and Preview—while preserving source code formatting.
  • Make your Web application development more efficient. Debug your code with step-through debugging of client- and server-side scripts for Microsoft Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) and JScript™** at any point in your development cycle.
  • Build cross-platform applications that target any browser, on any platform. Use the centralized deployment and management model of the Web to reduce your operating costs.
  • Build enterprise-ready, scalable Web applications using Microsoft Transaction Server (included) and reusable COM-based components built with tools such as Microsoft Visual Basic.
  • Increase coding speed with IntelliSense®-enabled script development-Statement Completion and Quick Tips support both VBScript and JScript.
  • Design the structure and flow of your Web site visually while Visual InterDev automatically creates the actual file structure and navigation bars.

Powerful, integrated database tools.

  • Connect to data from any ODBC-compliant database with open support for enterprise data sources. Visual InterDev works with Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server™, Sybase, Informix, DB/2, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Visual FoxPro®, dBase, Paradox, and most other major database systems.
  • Visually design and modify database schemas and create stored procedures and other database objects for Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 and Oracle 7.3.3+ databases using the Visual Database Tools. Attach to and browse the data in tables and views, and visually create SQL queries for any ODBC- or OLE-DB-compliant database.å
  • Access host and mainframe data via tight integration with Microsoft SNA Server (available separately).
  • Drag and drop from the Data Environment to quickly create sophisticated, database-driven HTML forms.
  • Use Query Builder to visually construct complex SQL statements against any ODBC-compliant database. Test any query in the live test pane before using it within your Web page.

Full-featured, standards-based team development.

  • New Local Mode allows a developer to work and test parts of a project against a local Web server without interrupting team development, then synchronize and deploy the changes to the shared master Web server.
  • Build with integrated support for the latest W3C-approved standards, including HTML 4.0, HTML Document Object Model, XML, and more.
  • Develop applications that give a richer client experience by taking advantage of support for powerful Internet Explorer 4.0 features such as cascading style sheets and Dynamic HTML.
  • Create dynamic Web pages using Microsoft FrontPage® 98 client included in Visual InterDev 6.0.
*Server-side debugging support requires Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later (Service Pack 3 included).
**JavaScript-compatible.
åFeature only available to developers using Visual InterDev Enterprise Edition, available as part of Microsoft Visual Studio™ 6.0 Enterprise Edition.
