What is the .NET Platform?
The .NET Platform is a set of technologies designed to transform the Internet into a full-scale distributed computing platform. It provides new ways to build applications from collections of XML Web services. The .NET Platform fully supports the existing Internet infrastructure (HTTP, XML, SOAP). -
What are the core technologies in the .NET Platform?
.NET Framework, .NET Enterprise Servers, .NET building block services, and Visual Studio .NET. -
List the components of the .NET Framework.
Common language runtime, .NET Framework class library, data and XML, XML Web services and Web Forms, and Windows Forms. -
What is the purpose of the common language runtime?
It provides an environment in which you can execute code. -
What is the purpose of common language specification?
It defines a set of features that all .NET-compatible languages should support. -

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a software framework that can be installed on computers running Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. It includes a large library of coded solutions to common programming problems and a virtual machine that manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET Framework is a key Microsoft offering and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform.
The framework’s Base Class Library provides a large range of features including user interface, data and data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. The class library is used by programmers, who combine it with their own code to produce applications.
Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment that manages the program’s runtime requirements. Also part of the .NET Framework, this runtime environment is known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR provides the appearance of an application virtual machine so that programmers need not consider the capabilities of the specific CPU that will execute the program. The CLR also provides other important services such as security, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together constitute the .NET Framework.
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.
