The Microsoft .NET Framework is a software framework that includes a library of coded solutions to common programming problems and a virtual machine that governs the execution of programs written for the framework.
The .NET Framework consists of these two components:
- Base Class Library
- CLR (Common Language Runtime)
The framework’s Base Class Library provides the following features:
- user interface
- data and data access
- database connectivity
- cryptography
- web application development
- numeric algorithms
- network communications
Programmers combine the Base Class Library with their programs to simplify the coding tasks.
Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment that is known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR functions as a virtual machine so that programmers do not need to worry about the capabilities of the specific CPU that will execute the program.
The CLR also provides other these other important services:
- security
- memory management
- exception handling
Version 3.0 of the .NET Framework is included with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista. The current version of the framework can also be installed on Windows XP and the Windows Server 2003 family of operating systems. A reduced version of the .NET Framework, the .NET Compact Framework, is also available on Windows Mobile platforms, including smartphones. Version 4.0 of the framework was released as a public Beta on 20 May 2009.
