Supporting ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008, enables developers to create personalized Web experiences compatible with most browsers.

Applied Innovations, a provider of Windows-based ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL Server, Shared and Application Hosting solutions with Microsoft Gold Certification, announced today it now supports ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 on all of its hosting plans.

The company states that the new version of ASP.NET, developed by Microsoft, introduces a variety of new features not available in the previous version of the popular development framework. Namely, ASP.NET 3.5 supports Language Integrated Query, allowing developers to utilize code written in LINQ-enabled languages. It also offers more robust ASP.NET AJAX integration, allowing developers to create more efficient, interactive, and personalized Web experiences compatible with most browsers.

The company declares that it has worked with ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 since the products were released in early beta versions.

"We are committed to providing developers with the most efficient, cutting-edge technologies needed to build robust and user friendly Web experiences," said Jess Coburn, CEO, Applied Innovations. "ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 allow developers to create applications in a new, more effective and user-friendly environment. It is important our customers have access to these new resources and important to us to be able to offer them."

With today's announcement, the company claims to have introduced two new hosting promotions—offering up to 6 months of free hosting with full support for Visual Studio 2008, Visual Web Developer 2008, and ASP.NET 3.5.
