Programming in .Net
.Net programming language is considered to be different than other languages because of the .Net Framework. Dot Net Framework is basically a software framework which mainly runs on Microsoft Windows. It consists of a large library which supports several programming languages there by allowing language interoperability. This library is provided to all the programming languages that are supported by Dot Net. The programs that are written for Dot Net Framework are executed in the software environment which is known as CLR (Common Language Runtime). CLR is an application virtual machine which provides various important services such as memory management, security, and exception handling. The CLR and the class library together form the Dot Net framework.
Base Class library of Dot Net framework provides data access, user interface, database connectivity, web application, network communications etc. Programmers mainly produce the software’s by combining their own source code along with the Dot Net Framework and its libraries.
ASP.NET
ASP.NET which has been developed and marketed by Microsoft is a web application framework. It allows the programmers to develop a dynamic web application, website, and web services. It is a successor of ASP (Active Server Pages). It is built on CLR thereby allowing programmers to write ASP.Net code with the help of any Dot Net supported language.
VB.NET
Visual Basic .NET is basically an object-oriented computer programming language. It is implemented on .NET framework. Microsoft presently supplies two famous and major implementations of the Visual Basic: Microsoft Visual Studio Express, which is free of cost, and Microsoft Visual Studio, which is good commercial software
C#.NET
C # (C Sharp) is a multipurpose programming language which is suitable to develop Dot Net based applications. It covers a wide variety of the Base Class Libraries (BCL) which has been developed by Microsoft Dot Net Framework.
C# is developed form C++ which in turn is a successor to C. C# includes a feature of garbage collection that allows the beginners to become proficient in C# quickly as compared to C or C++. It is an object oriented language and supports exception handling, polymorphism etc. These features when combined with its multi platform support powerful development tools, and generics, makes C #a preferable choice for the development of several software projects.
