What is .NET Framework?

Answer Posted / anand

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.
