Overview

The .NET Framework is a software platform and library that allows developers to write and run applications and web services across operating systems. It provides a common language runtime, framework classes, and tools to simplify development. Key components include the Common Language Runtime, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and Visual Studio.

Introduction to .NET Framework


.NET What Is It?
Software platform
Language neutral
In other words:
.NET is not a language (Runtime and a library for
writing and executing written programs in any
compliant language)
What Is .NET
.Net is a new framework for developing
web-based and windows-based applications
within the Microsoft environment.
The framework offers a fundamental shift in
Microsoft strategy: it moves application
development from client-centric to server-
centric.

.NET What Is It?
Operating System + Hardware
.NET Framework
.NET Application
Base Class Library
Common Language Specification

Common Language Runtime
(CLR)
CLR works like a virtual machine in executing
all languages.
All .NET languages must obey the rules and
standards imposed by CLR. Examples:
Object declaration, creation and use
Data types,language libraries
Error and exception handling
Interactive Development Environment (IDE)

Common Language Runtime

Development
Mixed language applications
Common Language Specification (CLS)
Common Type System (CTS)
Standard class framework
Automatic memory management
Consistent error handling and safer execution
Potentially multi-platform
Deployment
Removal of registration dependency
Safety fewer versioning problems
Common Language Runtime
Multiple Language Support
CTS is a rich type system built into the CLR
Implements various types (int, double, etc)
And operations on those types
CLS is a set of specifications that language and
library designers need to follow
This will ensure interoperability between
languages
Compilation in .NET
Code in VB.NET Code in C#
Code in another
.NET Language
VB.NET compiler C# compiler
Appropriate
Compiler
IL(Intermediate
Language) code
CLR just-in-time
execution
Intermediate Language (IL)
.NET languages are not compiled to machine code. They
are compiled to an Intermediate Language (IL).

CLR accepts the IL code and recompiles it to machine
code. The recompilation is just-in-time (JIT) meaning it is
done as soon as a function or subroutine is called.

The JIT code stays in memory for subsequent calls. In
cases where there is not enough memory it is discarded
thus making JIT process interpretive.

Languages
Languages provided by MS
VB, C++, C#, J#, JScript
Third-parties are building
APL, COBOL, Pascal, Eiffel, Haskell, ML,
Oberon, Perl, Python, Scheme, Smalltalk
Windows Forms
Framework for Building Rich Clients
RAD (Rapid Application Development)
Rich set of controls
Data aware
ActiveX

Support
Licensing
Accessibility
Printing support
Unicode support
UI inheritance
ASP.NET
ASP.NET,the platform services that allow to program
Web Applications and Web Services in any .NET
language

ASP.NET Uses .NET languages to generate HTML
pages. HTML page is targeted to the capabilities of the
requesting Browser

ASP.NET Program is compiled into a .NET class and
cached the first time it is called. All subsequent calls use
the cached version.
ASP.NET
Logical Evolution of ASP
Supports multiple languages
Improved performance
Control-based, event-driven execution model
More productive
Cleanly encapsulated functionality
ASP.NET Web Forms
Allows clean cut code
Code-behind Web Forms
Easier for tools to generate
Code within is compiled then executed
Improved handling of state information
Support for ASP.NET server controls
Data validation
Data bound grids
ASP.NET Web Services
A technical definition
A programmable application component accessible
via standard Web protocols
Web Services
It is just an application
that exposes its features and capabilities
over the network
using XML
to allow for the creation of powerful new
applications that are more than the sum of
their parts
ADO.NET
(Data and XML)
New objects (e.g., DataSets)
Separates connected / disconnected issues
Language neutral data access
Uses same types as CLR
Great support for XML
Visual Studio.NET
Development tool that contains a rich set of
productivity and debugging features

Summary
The .NET Framework
Dramatically simplifies development and deployment
Provides robust and secure execution environment
Supports multiple programming languages
Comparison between
J2EE and .NET
Comparison between J2EE and .NET Architectures
J2EE and .NET
Execution Engine
J2EE
Java source code compiles into machine-independent byte
code
Runtime Environment : JVM
.NET
Any compliant language compiles into MSIL
Runtime environment : CLR

Both JVM and CLR ,support services, such as code
verification, memory management via garbage collection, and
code security


J2EE and .NET
Cross Platform Portability

J2EE
Platform Independent
JDK should exist on target machine
.NET
Supports Windows platform
CLR should exist on target machine
Can support other platforms provided it has its own JIT
complier

J2EE and .NET
Language Support

J2EE
Tied to Java
Supports other languages via interface technology
.NET
Language independent
Supports any language if mapping exists from that
language to IL
J2EE and .NET
Tools Support
J2EE
Can employ any number of tools
Pro :Developer has a great deal of choice
Con :Difficulty in choosing a right tool for a given job

.NET
Visual Studio.NET, single IDE for building an application
