What is Microsoft Dot Net ?

Microsoft .Net is a platform built on open internet protocols & standards with tools and services that meld computing and communication in new ways.

It’s an environment for developing and running software applications featuring ease of development of web based services, rich standard runtime services available to components written in variety of programming languages & provides inter language & inter machine inoperability

The .NET Framework is a new computing platform that simplifies application development in the highly distributed environment of the Internet. The .NET Framework is designed to fulfill the following objectives:

·         Preserve consistency between objects that are stored and executed locally, objects that are Internet-distributed but are executed locally, and objects that are stored and executed remotely on a server.

·         Avoid deployment and versioning conflicts. No DLL update upon deployment. Solves the DLL Hell Syndrome.

·         Guarantee safe execution of code, even if written by unknown semi-trusted third party. Avoid the slowness of scripted or interpreted languages.

·         Preserve development environment consistency between windows-based applications and web-based applications.

The .NET Framework includes:

1) Application services

2) BCL (Base Class Library)

3) CLR (Common Language Runtime)
