Net Framework
 A programming infrastructure created by Microsoft
for building, deploying, and running applications and
services that use .NET technologies, such as desktop
applications and Web services.
 .NET framework is a foundation class on which you can
build robust applications .This framework comprises of
web forms, window forms and console applications. .NET
framework is basically a collection of services and
classes.
 This exists as a layer between .NET applications and
underlying operating systems.
The Core of .NET Framework:
FCL & CLR
 Common Language Runtime
 Garbage collection
 Language integration
 Multiple versioning support (no
more DLL hell!)
 Integrated security
 Framework Class Library
 Provides the core functionality:
ASP.NET, Web Services, ADO.NET,
Windows Forms, IO, XML, etc.
.NET Framework
Common Language Runtime
 CLR manages code execution at
runtime
 Memory management, thread
management, etc.

Common Language Specification (CLS)

 Runtime
Common Language Runtime (CLR)
 Common Type System:
 All .NET languages have the same
primitive data types. An int in C# is the
same as an int in VB.NET
 When communicating between modules
written in any .NET language, the types
are guaranteed to be compatible on the
binary level
 Types can be:
 Value types – passed by value, stored in the
stack
 Reference types – passed by reference,
stored in the heap
 Strings are a primitive data type now
Common Language
Specification (CLS)
 Any language that conforms to the CLS is a
.NET language
 A language that conforms to the CLS has the
ability to take full advantage of the
Framework Class Library (FCL)
 CLS is standardized by ECMA
 Introduction to C#
The first component oriented language in the
C/C++ family
Everything really is an object
Next generation robust and durable software
Visual Studio .NET
Development tool that contains a rich set of
productivity and debugging features
Supports managed and unmanaged applications
Supports C#, C++, VB.NET, …
Many useful tools and wizards
Windows Forms Designer
ASP.NET Web Forms Designer
Web Services support
SQL Server integration with ADO.NET and XML
VS.NET is not part of the .NET Framework
Not necessary to build or run managed code
The .NET Framework SDK includes command line
compilers
VS.NET – Single
Development Environment &
Skill Set
From Visual Studio.NET you can:
Write code
Design user interface
Study documentation
Debug
Test
Deploy
Same tools for all languages
Same tools for all platforms
Component Oriented
Language:
C# is the first “component oriented” language in
the C/C++ family
Component concepts are first class:
Properties, methods, events
Design-time and run-time attributes
Integrated documentation using XML
Enables one-stop programming
No header files, IDL, etc.
Can be embedded in web pages
Compilation And Execution
Compilation

Source Language Code (IL)

Compiler
Assembly
Code Metadata

Native Code JIT Compiler

Execution
Assemblies
 DLL or EXE file
 Smallest deployable unit in the CLR
 Have unique version number
 No version conflicts (known as DLL hell)
 Contains IL code to be executed
 Security boundary – permissions are
granted at the assembly level
 Type boundary – all types include the
assembly name they are a part of
 Self-describing manifest – metadata that
describes the types in the assembly
