The .NET framework is a new Microsoft initiative in the realm of the software industry. For developers, the value of .NET means interoperability and flawless connectivity of multiple systems and sources of data. .NET Development is on the rise in today's IT industry because of its large set of development tools, servers, software, and services. .NET Framework allows developers to create highly sophisticated and complex software products in a short span of time.
.NET Technology offers more extensive benefits for IT professionals. It enables programmers to develop powerful information systems within the framework of modern computers and networks. .NET allows one to concentrate upon the business logic of the product. .NET developers are quickly able to create high-quality and simple programs with a lot of internet integrated capabilities at reduced costs.
.NET Framework is platform independent and language independent. .NET web-applications adopt open standards such as extensible Markup Language, HyperText Transfer Protocol, and Simple Object Access Protocol to interact with applications, which are available in other platforms. .NET Framework allows one to use different programming languages such as VB.Net, C#, Jscript, VBScript, and Managed C++. It also allows running applications on different platforms such as UNIX, Macintosh, and Linux. Moreover, .NET development technology enables the development of applications faster, easier, and cheaper.
.NET Framework technology supports over 20 different programming languages. .NET Framework supports many programming languages with the help of a concept called 'Common Language Runtime engine'. Instead of compiling the code into the native code, CLR engine compiles the code into Microsoft Intermediate Language. Microsoft Intermediate Language is a set of instructions which translates the code into native code. Further, CLR is responsible for run-time services such as language integration, security enforcement, memory process, and thread management. All this and much more make .NET development the most-desired arena for developing effective and quality products within a shorter period of time.
.NET Framework provides a wide infrastructure to create web-applications. .NET Framework is classified into two categories such as CLR and .NET Framework class library. Common Language Runtime provides common runtime services to all .NET applications. The main advantage of CLR is that, it reduces the developer's time spent for writing lengthy code by using certain features such as life-cycle management, strong type naming, cross-language exception handling, and dynamic binding. .NET Framework class library contains predefined sets of functionality that developers can use for their own applications. This library consists of three main key components such as ASP.NET, Windows Forms and ADO.NET.
The
">.NET Development Framework provides a number of advantages such as fewer lines of code, complete compilation, ease of deployment, web settings, web configuration and caching. By using fewer lines of code, .NET Framework allows developers to spend more time in implementing application design and monitoring the general flow of the application. .NET provides ease deployment of application. It means that the components in .NET Framework can be compiled on your machine and then uploaded with all the pages in the bin directory. The important part of .NET Framework is that web controls, web forms, and server-side blocks of code can be compiled when a page is requested for compilation.
">.NET Development framework supports three types of caching such as output caching, data caching, and fragment caching. As a result, programs written in any language, and running on any operating system, can access .NET applications implemented as web services.
