What Is the Microsoft .NET 
Framework? 
The Microsoft® .NET Framework is an 
important new component of the Microsoft 
Windows® family of operating systems. It is 
the foundation of the next generation of 
Windows-based applications that are easier 
to build, deploy, and integrate with other 
networked systems.
23 
The .NET Initiative 
“To create rich applications…, businesses must offer a 
programmatic interface to their business logic services 
… [which] must be callable remotely using a network 
like the Internet. Simply stated, the .NET initiative is 
about connecting information, people and devices” 
- Jeff Richter
24 
What Is the Microsoft .NET 
Framework? 
Most consumers will never notice that the 
.NET Framework is running on their Pocket 
PC, smartphone, or desktop computer. But 
they may appreciate the reliability, ease of 
use, and ability to connect to other systems 
that the .NET Framework helps bring to 
computers.
25 
What Is the Microsoft .NET 
Framework? 
The .NET Framework helps software 
developers and systems administrators more 
easily build and maintain systems with 
improvements toward performance, security, 
and reliability. Here's how.
26 
A New Approach to Building 
Windows Software 
The .NET Framework simplifies Windows 
software development. It provides developers 
with a single approach to build both desktop 
applications—sometimes called smart client 
applications—and Web-based applications. It 
also enables developers to use the same tools 
and skills to develop software for a variety of 
systems ranging from handheld smartphones 
to large server installations.
27 
A New Approach to Building 
Windows Software 
Software built on the .NET Framework can 
be easier to deploy and maintain than 
conventional software. Applications can be 
designed to automatically upgrade 
themselves to the latest version. The .NET 
Framework can also minimize conflicts 
between applications by helping incompatible 
software components coexist.
28 
Benefits of the .NET Framework 
• Helps IT professionals better integrate 
existing systems with its native support for 
Web services. 
• Assists with the deployment of software to 
both users and Web servers. 
• Facilitates the development of software with 
improved reliability, scalability, performance, 
and security.
29 
Helps developers be more 
productive by: 
• Making it easier for them to reuse existing 
code. 
• Enabling them to more easily integrate 
components written in any of the more than 
20 supported programming languages. 
• Helping them more easily build software for 
a wide range of devices using same skills 
and tools.
30 
The Development Environment – Visual 
Studio.NET 
 Finally , Visual Studio truly becomes an 
Integrated Development Environment, with 
multi-language development. 
 Runs on Windows 2000, NT, XP and the .NET 
server family. 
 Support for building 32 and 64 bit applications 
 Usual gamut of wizards, debuggers, linkers… 
 Plenty of good documentation 
 Free .NET Framework SDK – compilers, tools, 
documentation
31 
The Development/Runtime platform – 
the .NET Framework 
- The new runtime environment in .NET 
- Provides a set of base classes for developers to build 
on 
- A unified type system to allow language inter-operability 
- This course deals with the fundamentals of 
programming this framework
32 
To summarize, .NET is… 
 An OS platform 
 The .NET Enterprise Servers.NET building block 
services 
 .NET Device Software 
 The Development Environment – Visual 
Studio.NET 
 The Development/Runtime platform – the .NET 
Framework
33 
The .NET Framework 
 Think of what device drivers do in terms of 
abstracting access by an application 
Application 
Windows 
Scanner 
Driver 
Mouse 
Driver
34 
The .NET Framework 
 If we abstract the underlying OS in the same 
way… 
Application 
.NET Framework 
Windows 
2000 
Windows 
XP 
FreeBSD 
UNIX
35 
The .NET Framework 
 The .NET Framework introduces a layer of 
abstraction (and obviously, some overhead) to the OS 
as we currently know it. 
 Is this reason enough to move to it ? Let’s look at the 
state of Windows development without .NET…
36 
The current state of affairs 
 Win32/C programming 
- Fairly low-level, not object oriented, interoperability 
with other languages is hard, memory leaks an issue. 
 C++/MFC programming 
- Large language, complex idioms, prone to abuse, 
interoperability with other languages and other C++ 
implementations still hard, memory leaks still an issue 
 Visual Basic programming 
- Object aware, but not object oriented. 
- Interop with other languages possible, but ugly.
37 
The current state of affairs 
 COM programming 
- Allows you cross language integration at the binary 
level. 
- Interface based programming encouraged 
- Fairly complex to understand and set up 
- Deployment is registry based, fairly fragile. 
- Distributed COM was notoriously hard to set up 
because of the security issues involved 
- A Microsoft-only solution 
 Java programming 
- Great language, but no cross language integration. 
- Interpreted byte-code did have performance issues
38 
The current state of affairs 
 Into the mix just discussed, throw in JavaScript, 
ASP, HTML, DHTML 
 Everything we just talked about has it’s own 
runtime engine/environment, it’s own set of 
libraries and it’s own set of development tools. 
 In a highly connected world, our solutions need 
to span languages, machines and network 
boundaries.
39 
What the .NET Framework gives us 
 Consistent programming model 
 A simple OO programming model 
 Application component isolation 
- Newer versions can be installed safely 
- Goes a long way in helping improve DLL Hell 
 Simplified installation model 
- Xcopy, no registry entries 
- Uninstalls involve just deleting files/folders 
- Shared components easier to install than COM 
components
40 
What the .NET Framework gives us 
 Multi-platform support 
- The fact that the OS is abstracted away, with code 
compiled to an intermediate language makes this 
possible 
 Cross language integration 
- This is in contrast with COM’s cross-language 
interoperation. Types can be used between languages. 
- This also makes cross language debugging possible. 
 Automatic memory management 
- Reduces the incidence of memory leaks . The Visual 
Basic runtime has done this for sometime, but it is 
now available to all languages
41 
What the .NET Framework gives us 
 Code verifiability 
- Rich type information gives us the ability to check that 
code is operating safely 
- e.g. Buffer overflows prevented. 
 Consistent error handling mechanism 
- Exceptions used instead of error codes and 
HRESULTS 
- Exceptions have to be handled – cannot ignore them 
 Code security 
- Signing allows the runtime to verify that code has not 
been tampered with. 
- Code access security associates permissions with code.
42
43 
Basic Components of the .NET 
Framework 
The .NET Framework consists of two main 
parts: 
• common language runtime 
• .NET Framework class library
44 
The heart of the Framework 
 The most important elements of the franework 
are: 
- The Common Language Runtime (CLR) 
- The Framework Class Libraries (FCL) 
ASP.NET WinForms 
Framework Class Library 
Base Data XML … 
Common Language Runtime 
OS Services
45 
Common Language Runtime 
•Provides the common services for .NET 
Framework applications. 
•Programs can be written for the common 
language runtime in just about every language, 
including C, C++, C#, and Microsoft Visual 
Basic®, as well as some older languages such 
as Fortran. 
•The runtime simplifies programming by 
assisting with many mundane tasks of writing 
code, including memory management—which 
can be a big generator of bugs—security 
management, and error handling.
Common Language Runtime 
46 
(CLR) 
 Locates, loads and runs code written in runtime-aware 
languages. 
 Handles object creation, memory management, 
making method calls, enforces code security and 
provides a process abstraction. 
 Code that targets the CLR is called managed code, 
while code that uses the native OS services directly 
is called unmanaged code. 
 Languages that can produce managed code (or 
.NET programming languages) 
- C#, VB.NET, VC++ with managed extensions, Fujitsu 
COBOL.NET, Jscript.NET, Eiffel, Python, Perl…
47 
Managed Module 
A Managed Module is a standard windows portable 
executable (PE) file that requires the CLR to execute.
48 
Managed Code 
Code executed and managed by the Microsoft® .NET 
Framework, specifically by the .NET Framework's 
common language runtime. 
Managed code must supply the information necessary 
for the common language runtime to provide services 
such as memory management, cross-language 
integration, code access security, and automatic 
lifetime control of objects. 
All code based on Microsoft Intermediate Language 
executes as managed code.
49 
.NET Framework Class Library 
The library includes prepackaged sets of 
functionality that developers can use to more 
rapidly extend the capabilities of their own 
software. The library includes three key 
components: 
• o ASP.NET to help build Web applications and 
Web services. 
• o Windows Forms to facilitate smart client user 
interface development. 
• o ADO.NET to help connect applications to 
databases.
50 
Framework Class Library (FCL) 
 Provides base class libraries available to all .NET 
programming languages. 
 Access to primitive types, file I/O, graphical 
rendering, crypto, GUI, XML support, etc. 
Think of the CLR as abstracting the underlying OS (e.g. 
Windows), and the FCL as abstracting the OS 
libraries. (e.g. Win32)
