TEL AVIV, Israel, May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- - Visual WebGui, Developed and Marketed by Gizmox, is a Revolutionary Approach to Creating DHTML or Microsoft Silverlight Applications

Visual WebGui, helping bring AJAX & Microsoft Silverlight applications to enterprises, today announced that they have joined the Microsoft Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program, to closer align Visual WebGui's line of products with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Through support for Visual Studio, Visual WebGui (VWG) helps customers more easily develop & deploy DHTML or Microsoft Silverlight-based line-of-business applications for the Web. For enterprise application developers familiar with Microsoft Windows Forms, Visual WebGui provides more than 60 out-of-the box controls to enable rapid construction of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) that run on ASP.NET and Silverlight. By using VWG, enterprise application developers benefit from an ultra productive drag and drop, Windows Forms development environment, greater performance and security and a smoother, faster migration path into the new technologies, in a Web-based, running environment.

"Microsoft is pleased to have Gizmox join the VSIP program and add more depth to enterprise Web applications with AJAX, DHTML or Silverlight as their presentation layer," said Joe Marini, director of the Development Tools Ecosystem team at Microsoft Corp. "Visual WebGui support for Visual Studio will help our mutual customers' adoption of the new, exciting enhancement that Silverlight offers for line-of-business Web applications."

"We are very excited to be joining Microsoft's VSIP program," said Gizmox CEO Mr. Navot Peled. "Since introducing VWG almost a year ago, our community of thousands of active users has thanked us for developing a solution that provides enterprise application developers with such a natural extension for Visual Studio and Microsoft development tools stack. Now, as a member of the VSIP program, we are confident that Visual WebGui will provide even more users of the Microsoft .NET Framework with a new, strategic opportunity to port their line-of-business and enterprise IT systems to the Web, cost-effectively with enterprise-proof security, enhanced functionality and significant value."
