• Major components of .NET Framework
  • The common language run time (CLR), which is the execution engine that handles running apps.
  • The .NET Framework Class Library, which provides a library of tested, reusable code that developers can call from their own apps.
  • Class libraries provides reusable code for most common tasks, including data access, XML Web service development and web and Windows form

Common Language Run-time CLR

The Common language run-time simplifies application development provides a robust and secure execution environment, support multiple language and simplifies application deployment and management.

Common Type System

• Support cross-language integration

• Establishes a framework that helps enable cross-language integration, type safety, and high-performance code execution.

• Provides an object-oriented model that supports the complete implementation of many programming languages.

• Defines rules that languages must follow, which helps ensure that objects written in different languages can interact with each other.

• Provides a library that contains the primitive data types (such as Boolean, Byte, Char, Int32, and UInt64) used in application development.

What Problem does .NET solve?

• Even with the internet , most applications and devices have trouble communicating with each other.
• Developers spend the majority of their time rewriting applications to work on each type of platform and client, rather than spending their time designing new applications.
