(March 31, 2003) - LogicLibrary has reached an agreement with Microsoft enabling Visual Studio .NET developers and software architects to quickly search a central library of software development assets and identify those that best match business and technical requirements for Microsoft .NET Framework-based application development.

Under the terms of the business and technology agreement, the Logidex .NET Library, a software development asset (SDA) management solution, will integrate with the Visual Studio .NET IDE. Users will connect to a Logidex .NET Library hosted on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN).

The Logidex .NET Library will be a catalog of metadata about software development assets and their relationships to each other. LogicLibrary's Active Design solution will enable any developer using Visual Studio .NET to scan a comprehensive list of Microsoft-defined .NET software assets and perform model-based searches of the library on MSDN. In addition, Logidex customers will have this library included in their implementation of Logidex, allowing them to map their software development assets - applications, components, XML schemas, documentation and other key building blocks of high-quality application development - to the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Once integration is complete later this year, developers will be able to access the Logidex software development asset (SDA) viewer on MSDN from within Visual Studio .NET. In addition, the agreement provides for joint marketing and sales initiatives, including a 60-day-trial of the Logidex .NET Library for all Visual Studio .NET developers.
