    Grasshopper, the freely available Visual MainWin® for J2EE, Developer Edition, is a plug-in to the Visual Studio .NET IDE that enables .NET developers to port existing ASP.NET and server applications to J2EE servers.

    Google SOAP Search API (beta)

    Google has created a SOAP Search Api Web service, which can be used by the developers for creating windows or web application to create a novel UI for searching or any other purpose, using any web service supported platforms such as Java, Perl, or Visual Studio .NET. It uses SOAP and WSDL Standards of programming. The steps to implement is as follows:

    Step1: Download Developer's Kit
    The Developer's Kit can be downloaded from the following url.
    http://www.google.com/apis/download.html
    which contains .net and java samples and the wsdl file.

    https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?
    continue=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.google.com%2F
    createkey&followup=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.google.com%2Fcreatekey
    and if you doesn't have an account just go and create it.
    https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?
    continue=http://api.google.com/createkey&followup=http://api.google.com/createkey

    Step2: Start Developing Applciation
    Once you get the License key, you can start developing the application using the API, but the program has to include the license key with each query you submit to the Google SOAP Search API service. Also there is a limit of 1000 queries per day, and its free beta service and is available for non-commercial use only.

    But the good thing in these is that it uses the existing .NET Framework 2.0 and compilers which will help to run the existing code as it is developed using .NET Framework 2.0

    Hence, .NET Framework 3.0 includes:
    • The 2.0 Common Language Runtime (CLR)
    • The 2.0 Base Class Library
    • ADO.NET 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0, Windows Forms 2.0
    • VB 8.0 and C# 2.0
    • Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
    • Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
    • Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
    • Windows CardSpace (WCS)
    This new framework represents the future of .NET development.
