Introducing .NET FrameWork, What is DOTNET Framework? What is .NET Framework?

• .NET Framework is an essential component of the Windows operating system that helps create applications by integrating different programming languages, such as C#, Visual Basic, J# and Visual C++
• .NET Framework consists of a virtual execution system called Common Language runtime (CLR) and a set of class libraries.
• Microsoft introduced .NET to bridge the gap between applications created in different languages and ensure interoperability between them.

What is Dot Net?

What is dotNet? DotNet Means? DotNet Used For? What is .Net?

•  Dot Net/.Net is a platform through which programmers can develop programs that cause users to interact with one another’s systems rather than the program itself. DOTNET/.NET programs act as direct lines to other users that control only the way users interact rather than the interaction itself. 

• .NET/DotNet comes complete with a library of coded solutions to common issues that arise and a virtual machine to execute programs created using the framework.

• Examples : Windows Live Messenger is a .NET/Dotnet program that allows users to open the application and connect directly to other users.

• The runtime environment used through the framework is CLR, or Common Language Runtime, which gives programmers the capacity to manage memory usage and exceptions.
