Working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System (Pro-Developer)
Application Designer
Architects will use the Application Designer to define the applications that make up a distributed system. This tool allows architects to provide a description of the types of applications that compose the entire connected application and record the configurations of the software packages loaded on those servers.
Here are the various application prototypes that can be modeled using the Application Designer:
Windows application
ASP.NET Web service
ASP.NET Web application
Office application
External Web service
External database
BizTalk Web service
Generic application
