What is Framework
 A framework, or software framework, is a platform for
developing software applications.
 It provides a foundation on which software developers
can build programs for a specific platform.
 A framework is similar to an application programming
interface (API), though technically a framework
includes an API.
 For example, a framework may include predefined
classes and functions that can be used to process
input, manage hardware devices, and interact with
system software.
 This streamlines the development process since
programmers don't need to reinvent the wheel each
time they develop a new application.

What is .NET Framework
 .NET Framework is a software framework developed by
Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows.
 It includes a large class library named Framework Class
Library and provides language interoperability across
several programming languages.
 The framework was meant to create applications,
which would run on the Windows Platform.
 The .NET framework can be used to create Form based
, Web based and Web services applications.
 The first version of the .NET framework was released in
the year 2000.
 .NET updated version is 4.7.1

.NET Framework Advantages

 Interoperability
 Portability
 Security
 Memory management
 Simplified deployment

CSF-NU 4
Interoperability

 The .NET framework provides a lot of backward


support.
 Suppose if you had an application built on an older
version of the .NET framework, say 2.0.
 And if you tried to run the same application on a
machine which had the higher version of the .NET
framework, say 3.5. The application would still work.
 This is because with every release, Microsoft ensures
that older framework versions work well with the latest
version.

CSF-NU 5
Portability

 Applications built on the .NET framework can be made


to work on any Windows platform.
 And now in recent times, Microsoft is also envisioning
to make Microsoft products work on other platforms,
such as iOS and Linux.

CSF-NU 6
Security

 The .NET Framework has a good security mechanism.


 The in-built security mechanism helps in both
validation and verification of applications.
 Every application can explicitly define their security
mechanism.
 Each security mechanism is used to grant the user
access to the code or to the running program.

CSF-NU 7
Memory Management

 The Common Language runtime does memory


management.
 The .NET framework has all the capability to see those
resources, which are not used by a running program.
 It would then release those resources accordingly.
 This is done via a program called the "Garbage
Collector" which runs as part of the .NET framework.
 The garbage collector runs at regular intervals and
keeps on checking which system resources are not
utilized, and frees them accordingly.

CSF-NU 8
Simplified Deployment

 The .NET framework also have tools, which can be used


to package applications built on the .NET framework.
 These packages can then be distributed to client
machines.
 The packages would then automatically install the
application.

CSF-NU 9
.NET Architecture

CSF-NU 10
Common Language Runtime(CLR)
 The "Common Language Infrastructure" or CLI is a
platform on which the .NET programs are executed.
 The CLR has the following key features:
 Exception Handling
 Garbage Collection

CSF-NU 11
Common Type System (CTS)
 The Common Type System (CTS) standardizes the data
types of all programming languages using .NET under
the umbrella of .NET to a common data type for easy
and smooth communication among these .NET
languages.

CSF-NU 12
Common Language Specification (CLS)
 Common Language Specification (CLS) is a set of
specifications or guidelines defining a .NET language.
 Shared specifications promote language
interoperability.
 For example, CLS defines the common types of
managed languages, which is a subset of the Common
Type System (CTS).

CSF-NU 13
.NET Framework Class Library (FCL)
 The .NET Framework Class Library (FCL) is a set of managed
classes that provide access to system services.
 File input/output, sockets, database access, remoting, and
XML are just some of the services available in the FCL.
 Importantly, all the .NET languages rely on the same
managed classes for the same services.
 This is one of the reasons that, once you have learned any
.NET language, you have learned 40 percent of every other
managed language.
 The same classes, methods, parameters, and types are used
for system services regardless of the language. This is one
of the most important contributions of FCL

CSF-NU 14
Microsoft Intermediate Language(MSIL)
 Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) is also knows
as Intermediate Language (IL) or Common Intermediate
Language (CIL).
 When an application written in .NET programming
language is compiled, platform independent binaries
called assemblies are generated.
 Generation of platform independent binaries results in
same code base running on multiple operating
systems.
 MSIL is similar to Java Byte code.
