What is .NET?
 .NET is a platform that provides a
standardized set of services.
 It’s just like Windows, except distributed over
the Internet.
 It exports a common interface so that it’s
programs can be run on any system that
supports .NET.

 A specific software framework

 Includes a common runtime
.Net Framework?
 Programming model for .NET

 Platform for running .NET managed

code in a virtual machine

 Provides a very good environment to

develop networked applications and
Web Services

 Provides programming API and

unified language-independent
development framework.
.NET is multi-language

 .NET supports VB, C# (C-sharp), C++, J# (Java 1.2), Eiffel,

etc.

code.vb code.cs code.cpp ...

Development Tool FCL

app.exe
.NET is cross-platform

 Compiled .NET apps run on any supported

platform:
APP.exe

Win64 Win32 WinCE

Core Components of .Net Framework.

 Microsoft .NET is based on the .NET Framework,

which consists of two major components:

1. The Common Language Runtime (CLR)

2. Framework Class Libraries (FCL)
 Core Components of .Net Framework.

Components

CLR FCL
Comman Language Runtime Framework Class Library

 Garbage collection Provides the core functionality

 Language integration ASP.NET,
Web Services,
 Multiple versioning support
ADO.NET,
(no more DLL hell!)
Windows Forms,
 Integrated security IO, XML, etc.
 .NET Framework

Common Language Runtime

 CLR manages code execution at runtime is an
environment that manages the execution of
program.
 Services of CLR
 Integrating Component develop in different program
 Handling Error across languages
 Handling Security
 Managing the storage and destruction of objects

Common Language Runtime

Operating System
 .NET Framework
Framework Class Library (FCL)
 Object-oriented collection of reusable types.
 All of the classes and interfaces that are a part of the .Net
language are stored in a library known as the .Net
Framework class library.
 The library is divided into sections or groups knows as
namespaces.
 Some of the namespaces( classes, structure, interfaces)
