.NET is a Microsoft platform for building applications and services across different operating systems and devices. It includes a common language runtime (CLR) that allows programs written in multiple languages to run. The CLR handles tasks like memory management and compiles code to intermediate language (IL) for cross-language integration. .NET also provides class libraries for common functions and tools to simplify development.

What is .NET ??????
 Microsoft® .NET is a platform for building, running and experiencing the
next generation of distributed applications. It spans clients, servers and
services and consists of:

 A programming model that enables developers to build XML Web services


and applications

 A set of XML Web services, such as Microsoft .NET My Services (formerly


code-named 'Hailstorm'), that helps developers deliver a simple and
integrated user experience;

 A set of servers, including Windows® 2000, SQL Server™ and BizTalk™


Server, that integrates, runs, operates and manages XML Web services
and applications
Abstraction of OS
 Effort to run a program on many different H/W or OS
 H/W level achieved through OS
 The problem at Operating System level
 “A tough computer problem can be solved by addition
of a layer of Abstraction”
 Microsoft has done the same by layering CLR+System
calls Library on top of Operating System
.NET Framework

Operating System Operating System

Hardware Hardware Hardware

.NET abstracts operating systems, which are abstracting


hardware.
This means that we can write software to target the CLR –
and that software can run on any operating system or
platform which implements the CLR.

.NET Framework
CLR
 Heart of the .NET Framework
 Provides an environment in which programs can run
 Support many programming languages in a common
manner
 .NET applications are compiled to a common
language known as Microsoft Intermediate
Language, or "IL".
 The CLR, then, handles compiling the IL to machine
language
 IL contains methods, properties and fields related to
the components that are compiled
Compilation
 Great Flexibility

 Root of many .NET capability

 MSIL – Microsoft Intermediate Language

 All languages that work with .NET have compilers that


generate MSIL rather than machine code

 MSIL and Metadata will be compiled into machine


code
Compilation ….
Code Compiler

IL Metadata

JIT Compiler

Execution
Compilation Example
 A developer build an application in VB.NET

 Compilation process generates IL code rather


than binary machine code

 When user actually runs the application, the


CLR invokes a just-in time (JIT) compiler

 This compiler runs on the user’s computer to


compile the IL to machine code
Metadata
 Provides an exact description of the component
that were compiled to IL
 COM inability to describe the component
 Data is kept in XML so easily accessible and
understandable
 Describe component’s interface and so can be
created and called by any language
 Eliminates any reliance on the windows registry
Key design goals of
CLR
 Simpler and Faster development
 Automatic Handling of memory Management
and process communication
 Tool support
 Simple and safer deployment
 Cross Language integration
 Versioning and deployment support
Simple and Faster
development
 Less code more reuse

 Provides rich set of functionality

 Programs in .NET use this functionality


and so less handwritting
Memory management
and Process
communication
 Unnecessary to use malloc to set aside space for an array
in C++.

 Need to just simple declaration statement

 Handles references counting on instantiation

 Automatic garbage collection for collecting objects no


longer referenced by the application
Tool support
 Designed to support multiple languages

 Furnishes a rich set of object models that are


useful to tools like designers, wizards ..

 Third party tools can be easily incorporated

 Cross language integration


Simple and safer
deployment
 Deployment is very easy because:

 Applications in .NET are composed of assemblies which contains IL and metadata as


previously stated

 So both code and a complete descriptor of the code are in one package and self
describing.

 So there is no need to register anything in the registry

 Application produced in .NET framework can be easily copied and run using
XCOPY
Cross Language
Integration
 Enable code written in one language to
integrate with code written in other language

 Include cross language inheritance, exception


handling .

 This can be done because there is a need to


get the reference of other component through
Metadata and metadata is language
independent
Versioning Services

 CLR supports side by side execution of


multiple versions of the same
component.

 If one program want to use the


component with particular version that it
can get it from the metadata information
Class Libraries
Class Libraries
 Base classes: input/output , string
manipulation, security management, network
communications, thread management, text
management and other functions.

 Data classes support persistent data


management and include SQL classes for
manipulating persistent data stores through
a standard SQL interface.

 XML classes enable XML data manipulation


and XML searching and translations.
Class Libraries…
 Web Forms include classes that enable you to rapidly
develop web GUI applications.

 Windows Forms support a set of classes that allow you


to develop Windows GUI applications – facilitating
drag-and-drop GUI development and providing a
common, consistent development interface across all
languages supported by the .NET Framework
Win Forms
 .NET provides a single, unified way to
create user interfaces outside of a
browser environment - Win Forms
 Win Forms provide a language-neutral
way to create forms, add controls, and
respond to the user's actions
 Win Forms are not based on ActiveX
 They are instances of classes in the .NET
system class library.
Thank You.
