Dot NET Framework Introduction

• All the capabilities of .NET Framework are exposed via a vast set of managed
types.
• These types are organized into hierarchical namespaces and packaged into a set of
assemblies, which together with the CLR (Common Language Run ‐ time)
comprise the .NET platform.
• Some of the .NET types are used directly by the CLR and are essential for the
managed hosting environment.
• These types reside in an assembly called mscorlib.dll.
CONTD…
• The .NET Framework consists of the common language runtime and
the .NET Framework class library.
• Types include C#’s built-in types, as well as the basic collection classes,
types for stream processing, serialization, reflection, threading, and native
interoperability (“mscorlib” is an abbreviation for “Multi-language
Standard Common Object Runtime Library”).
CONTD…

• .NET Framework is a technology that supports building and running the


applications.
• The .NET Framework is designed to fulfill the following objectives:
• Provide a runtime environment that minimizes software deployment and
versioning conflicts.
• Enable the safe execution of code.
• Provide a consistent developer experience across all types of
applications in a way that is language- and platform-independent.
• Provide a runtime environment that minimizes or eliminates the
performance problems of scripted or interpreted environment.
PLATFORM SUPPORT
• C# is typically used for writing code that runs on Windows platforms.
• Xamarin allows cross platform C# development for mobile applications
• Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform lightweight web hosting
framework that can run either on the .NET Framework or on .NET Core
• It is an open source cross-platform runtime.
C# AND THE CLR
• C# is an object-oriented, component-oriented programming language.
• C# depends on a runtime equipped with a host of features such as security, automatic
memory management and exception handling.
• Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the core of the Microsoft .NET Framework which
provides these runtime features (.NET Core and Xamarin frameworks provide similar
runtimes).
• The CLR is language-neutral, allowing developers to build applications in multiple
languages (e.g., C#, F#, Visual Basic .NET, and Managed C++).
• C# is one of several managed languages that get compiled into managed code.
• Managed code is represented in Intermediate Language or IL.
COMMON LANGUAGE RUNTIME(CLR)

• It is the foundation of the .NET framework.


• It is the responsibility of the runtime to take care the code execution of the
program.
• It is a framework layer that resides above the OS and handles the
execution of all the .Net applications.
• Programs don’t directly communicate with the OS but go through the
CLR.
• It manages memory, thread execution, code execution, code safety
verification, compilation, and other system services.
CONT.…
• The CLR converts the IL into the native code of the machine, such as X86 or X64,
usually just prior to execution.
• This is referred to as Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation.
• Ahead-of-time compilation is also available to improve startup time with large
assemblies or resource.
• The container for managed code is called an assembly or portable executable.
• An assembly can be an executable file (.exe) or a library (.dll), and contains not
only IL, but type information (metadata).
• The presence of metadata allows assemblies to reference types in other assemblies
without needing additional files.
.NET ARCHITECTURE
MSIL(MICROSOFT INTERMEDIATE
LANGUAGE) OR CIL(COMMON IL) OR IL
• All .NET source code is converted to an intermediate code known as MSIL which
is interpreted by the CLR.
• MSIL is OS and hardware independent code.
• MSIL is converted to binary executable code(native code) at the point where the
software is installed.
JUST-IN-TIME(JIT) COMPILER
• It compiles the IL code to native executable code(.exe or .dll) that is designed for specific
machine and OS.
Framework Class Library
• The .NET Framework consists of the CLR plus a vast set of libraries.
• The core libraries are sometimes collectively called the Base Class Library
(BCL). The entire framework is called the Framework Class Library
(FCL).
• The .Net Framework class library (FCL) provides the core functionality
of .Net Framework architecture.
CONT…

• The .Net Framework Class Library (FCL) includes a huge collection of


reusable classes, interfaces, and value types that ease and optimize the
development process and provide access to system functionality.
• This library is categorized into different modules and can access to
Windows application, Web development, Network programming ,IO etc.
COMMON TYPE SYSTEM(CTS)

• CTS define how types are declared, used and managed in the CLR,
• It is also an important part of the runtime's support for cross-language integration.
The common type system performs the following functions:
i. Establishes a framework that helps enable cross-language integration, type
safety, and high-performance code execution.
ii. Provides an object-oriented model that supports the complete implementation
of many programming languages.
CONT…
• Defines rules that languages must follow, which helps ensure that objects written
in different languages can interact with each other.
• Provides a library that contains the primitive data types (such as Boolean,
Byte, Char, Int32, and UInt64) used in application development.
COMMON LANGUAGE SPECIFICATION
• CLS is a set of basic language features that .Net Languages needed to develop
Applications and Services.
• It is a subset of the CTS. The CLS establishes the minimum set of rules to
promote language interoperability.
• When there is a situation to communicate Objects written in different .Net
Complaint languages.
• Those objects must expose the features that are common to all the languages.
• It ensures complete interoperability among applications, regardless of the
language used to create the application.
CONT…
• Microsoft has defined CLS, which are nothing but guidelines, that language
should follow so that it can communicate with other .NET languages in a
seamless manner.
COMPILATION
• The C# compiler compiles source code, specified as a set of files with the .cs
extension, into an assembly.
• An assembly is the unit of packaging and deployment in .NET.
• An assembly can be either an application or a library.
• A normal console or Windows application has a Main method and is an .exe file.
• A library is a .dll and is equivalent to an .exe without an entry point.
• Its purpose is to be called upon (referenced) by an application or by other
libraries.
• The name of the C# compiler is csc.exe.
