RESPONDING TO CUSTOMER DEMAND for support for Microsoft’s popular VB.NET language in Lexient’s code visualization, analysis, and documentation tool, Lexient announced the newest version of Surveyor, which includes a sophisticated syntactical and semantic parsing engine for VB.NET.

A number of Lexient’s current customers requested that Surveyor be extended to support VB.NET. These customers range from consulting firms with projects entailing n-tier separation and conversion from previous versions of VB to VB.NET, to corporate IT organizations with changing maintenance and integration duties. Surveyor is being used by these organizations to improve the speed of completing maintenance projects at the same time that they lower the risk of application failures.

“With the addition of VB.NET, Surveyor can better support its clients who work on conversion, integration, or maintenance in legacy and more modern languages, like VB.NET and need a means of rapidly scoping, architecting, and closely collaborating on projects” said Ward Geise, President of Lexient. “We look forward to working closely with our customers to meet their changing needs as they adjust in our rapidly changing industry.” VB.NET is the 18th language that Surveyor supports, providing an unparalleled means of working with source code from a variety of systems, platforms, and eras.
