The document discusses the components of the .NET Framework. It describes the Common Language Specification (CLS) which ensures code is accessible across programming languages. It also discusses the Framework Class Library (FCL) which includes classes for common tasks like file access and GUI creation. The Common Language Runtime (CLR) acts as an execution engine and interface between .NET applications and the operating system by loading and executing code.

Component of .Net Framework

• Common Language Specification (CLS)


– .Net Framework provides CLS to ensure that
your
code is accessible to developers who are using other
.Net programming languages i.e. VB, VC++ etc.
– In this way, CLS enables languages interoperability
which means that a “dll (data link library)” developed
in one .Net language can be accessed from another
.Net language.

Component of .Net Framework

• Framework Class Library


– Collection of classes and data types that enables .Net
application to read/write files, accessing database,
process XML, display graphical user interface, draw
graphics, enable using web services and so on.
• Base class library
– is core of FCL and provides the most fundamental
functionality, which includes classes in namespaces
System e.g. System.IO (used for
filing), System.Collections (used for utilizing different
data structures i.e. stack, list, hashtable, queue, sets
etc).

Component of .Net Framework

• Common Language Runtime


– It is Execution Engine for .Net application
– It servers as an interface between .Net application
and operating system
– It also provides other services such as
• Loads and execute code
• Convert intermediate language to native machine language
• Manage memory

Component of .Net Framework

• Continue…
 Provide communication/Interface between manage code (dll
generated by .Net), COM (third party dll), and unmanaged
code (e.g. dll generated by other language tools such as VC++)
 Provide code meta-data (reflection)
