The .NET application framework
that does the heavy lifting.
Entity-based. Enterprise-ready. Cross-platform. StrataFrame V2 is what you reach for when you need to build serious .NET applications without reinventing the infrastructure every time.
Four components. One cohesive framework.
StrataFrame V2 isn’t a single library — it’s a complete development platform. Each component is built to work with the others, so you’re not stitching together third-party tools and hoping they play nicely.
Entity-based architecture replaces the older BO model with something faster, cleaner, and significantly easier to reason about. A complete Visual Studio-integrated solution covering every tier of development — from backend data access to WPF UI.
- True entity model — not business objects
- Full Visual Studio integration
- Replete WPF control collection
- Mobile controls in development
A central service that manages all database connections and traffic. Client applications call server-side methods as if they were local — the framework handles routing, execution, and results. Bidirectional. No VPN. No open ports. No REST API to build and maintain.
- Bidirectional client-server communication
- Server method execution from client code
- Global database access — no VPN required
- Central connection and traffic management
Integrated security model that wires directly into the application framework. Define roles, assign permissions, and enforce access control at every layer — without bolting on a third-party security library or building your own.
- Role and permission management
- Framework-level enforcement
- Works with Enterprise Server auth
Deploy SQL Server structures and data as part of your application release. Schema changes, seed data, migrations — managed and versioned through the toolkit so your database deployment is as controlled as your code deployment.
- SQL Server structure deployment
- Data seeding and migration
- Versioned deployment pipeline
Your desktop app.
Any database.
Anywhere.
Most .NET applications that need remote database access require either a VPN, an open database port, or a REST API layer you have to build and maintain. The StrataFrame Enterprise Server eliminates all three.
The Enterprise Server creates a central service that sits between your clients and your database. Client applications call enterprise methods on the server as if they were local calls — the framework handles the routing, execution, and return of results. The connection is bidirectional, so the server can also push data and events back to connected clients.
A WPF desktop application can connect to a SQL Server database on the other side of the world with zero network infrastructure changes. The Enterprise Server handles the connection — your clients just call methods.
Skip the controller layer entirely. Enterprise methods execute server-side logic from client code — the framework handles serialization, routing, and execution transparently. Your team writes application logic, not API plumbing.
The server isn’t just responding to requests — it can push data, events, and notifications to connected clients in real time. Multi-user coordination, live updates, and server-initiated workflows are built into the model.
All database connections flow through the Enterprise Server. That means connection pooling, access control, logging, and traffic management in one place — not scattered across every client application.
Where V2 runs.
StrataFrame V2 was engineered for cross-platform from the ground up. Support for modern .NET means existing V1 applications have a clear upgrade path — and new applications start on the right foundation.
Full support for existing .NET Framework applications. Upgrade to V2 without changing your platform target.
Full support for modern .NET. Cross-platform capable, performance-optimized, and long-term supported.
Support in active development. V2’s architecture makes new runtime targets a fast path — not a rebuild.
Coming SoonA replete WPF control collection built to match the entity model. No third-party UI libraries required.
Mobile controls in development, designed to mirror the WPF collection. One framework, every surface.
Coming SoonV2 was engineered for cross-platform from day one. PracticeStudio’s .NET migration is putting it to the test in production.
