# Visit Altova at TechEd

The Altova team is excited to be heading to New Orleans next week to exhibit at The [Microsoft TechEd and BI Conference 2010](http://www.microsoft.com/events/techednorthamerica/)! You can find us in booth #644 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana from June 7-10. We hope you’ll stop by our booth to chat about what you’re working on, and see a demo of the newest features announced in our MissionKit 2010 Release 3, the integrated suite of XML, database, and UML tools. Among other features of interest for Microsoft® developers, **support for integration with Visual Studio®** in MissionKit tools has been updated to include Microsoft’s latest release, Visual Studio 2010 (versions 2005 and 2008 are also supported). 

Tools that support VS integration include the XMLSpy [XML editor](https://www.altova.com/xml-editor/), MapForce [data mapping tool](https://www.altova.com/products/mapforce/data_mapping.html), StyleVision [stylesheet design tool](https://www.altova.com/products/stylevision/xslt_stylesheet_designer.html), and UModel advanced [UML tool](https://www.altova.com/umodel.html). 

We’d be happy to show you the latest functionality in XMLSpy for working with NIEM, a United States XML-based standard that is already inherently supported in many of the Altova MissionKit products. The new version delivers support for xsi:nil for XML Schema mapping in MapForce, as well as the ability to generate C++ code for 64-bit applications. StyleVision has improved its XBRL support with the addition of [iXBRL](https://www.altova.com/stylevision/xbrl-rendering.html), a subset of the XBRL standard that is, at this point, primarily used only in the United Kingdom. 

Other important new features in v2010r3 include [mapping data based on SAP's IDoc](https://www.altova.com/mapforce/idoc.html) EDI format in MapForce, and [support for C# 4.0](https://www.altova.com/umodel/uml-code-generation.html) and [Protocol Machine State Diagrams](https://www.altova.com/protocol-state-diagrams.html) in UModel. You might also be interested to hear about our new 64-bit product versions and support for [working with XML on SharePoint® Server](https://www.altova.com/xmlspy/sharepoint-xml-editor.html) that was added to XMLSpy back in February.
