Encapsulating business logic in a data library, DataObjects for .NET makes it possible to use business objects, developed once, in a variety of application deployment scenarios. In particular, DataObjects for .NET completely automates the task of developing distributed 3-tier applications, with no special server-based code necessary. DataObjects for .NET is the only tool for .NET that allows developers to create applications in an easy, uniform way, so that they can be deployed in either 2-tier or 3-tier configurations without changing the application code. In essence, creating fully scalable Web-based distributed applications becomes a matter of point-and-click, as easy as creating a simple desktop application used to be in Visual Basic.
