The open and extensible architecture of Visual InterDev is a critical aspect of the tool since it provides a high degree of flexibility. Visual InterDev delivers on the promise of openness by:
- Supporting the HTML/HTTP Internet standards
- Supporting ODBC for connectivity to all popular database systems
- Delivering "thin-client" cross-browser and cross-platform Web applications
- Providing full client-side and server-side extensibility via ActiveX controls and Java applets
- Supporting VBScript and JScript client-side and server-side scripting, as well as other scripting languages through third-party scripting engines
