FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Parastream Technologies Ships PagePorter Professional 1.0

DULUTH, GA – August 2, 2004 – Parastream Technologies announces PagePorter™, a Visual Studio^® .NET add-in and web control suite that integrates the web site development ease of FrontPage^® with the programming might of Visual Studio .NET to form a truly powerful web application development tool.

PagePorter helps developers create and maintain ASP.NET web sites with unprecedented speed and ease. With PagePorter handling many of the mundane repetitive tasks, developers have more time to focus on important design tasks.

PagePorter is a Visual Studio .NET add-in that hosts a Navigation View window that edits a site's navigation structure, manages a site's hyperlinks so you can move and rename project files at will without breaking links, converts FrontPage HTML pages to ASP.NET, including the web controls, and applies FrontPage themes to a site and/or pages.

PagePorter is a suite of seven ASP.NET web controls that emulate FrontPage web control functions, and a web page base class (derived from System.Web.UI.Page) that adds support for shared borders as in FrontPage, support for FrontPage themes, and optional http/https redirecting for secure web sites.

PagePorter operates with Visual Studio .NET projects in one of three modes – using FrontPage for layout and design, without using FrontPage at all, or converting a FrontPage web site to ASP.NET and then using Visual Studio .NET only. By itself, PagePorter adds real web site development capabilities to Visual Studio .NET with support for themes, shared borders, hyperlink management, a GUI site navigation editor, and seven FrontPage compatible web controls. If you want to use FrontPage with Visual Studio .NET, PagePorter is the component that bridges the gap between them.

In the IDE, there's a Navigation View tool window for editing the site's navigation structure. A hyperlink manager and browser keeps track of all of the site's hyperlinks, so moving and renaming project items around won't break links. FrontPage themes can be applied to your site or to individual pages. PagePorter is able to convert your FrontPage HTML pages into web forms, ready to exploit the power of ASP.NET. FrontPage HTML pages and ASP.NET web forms can be used together in the same project, and even co-manage the project with Visual Studio .NET and FrontPage.

PagePorter has a class library that supports the run-time and design-time controls. The web forms base class has been enhanced with new features such as shared borders and security. There are seven new web forms controls that work like FrontPage controls.

PagePorter works with Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003, and supports the Visual Basic .NET, C#, or Visual J#, languages. Hosted web projects require a web server running the .NET Framework 1.0 or 1.1, and Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions.

PagePorter Professional is priced at US $99.95 for a downloadable version, or $119.95 for a CD. There is also a free demo version available on the PagePorter web site. Visit http://www.parastream.com/software/pageporter for more information.
