Microsoft .net Frame work

[Radio Rabbit]

What is Microsoft .net frame work and what is it purpose?

[dan no1]

What is the .Net framework? What is the reasoning behind it?

�.Net splits the Operating System into 2 layers
1. Programming layer - allows applications to run
2. Execution layer � takes code and runs it (WinTel)

�.net is a programming layer designed to work on the WinTel execution layer.

�The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component for building and running the next generation of software applications and Web services.

�Supports over 20 different programming languages.

�Manages much of the plumbing involved in developing software, enabling developers to focus on the core business logic code.

�Makes it easier than ever before to build, deploy, and administer secure, robust, and high-performing applications.

�The .NET Framework is composed of the common language runtime and a unified set of class libraries.

as dan says, it's a programming framework. it simplifies the life of developers creating applications for a given operating system that the framework supports.

i'm sure wikipedia will tell you a lot more about it too, more than could be explained here.

Well, everybody has described what it's officially supposed to do, so I'll tell you what it really does:

1) Produces programs that run 4 to 10 times slower
2) Sets out to give MS the same monopoly on programming as it's got on the OS
3) Ensures that programs written in Non-MS languages suffer the same bugs as those written in visual basic.

I agree with rojash. Also, it was devised after Sun released the Java platform, and Microsoft got scared.
