What is .NET ?: 

What is .NET ? New platform for developing applications from Microsoft .NET framework (version 1.1 -2003, version 2.0 -2005) Common Language Runtime (CLR) .NET class library C# is new language which was developed specially for .NET

.NET architecture: 

.NET architecture Visual overview of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) (from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework#.NET_Framework_2.0)

Common Language Runtime: 

Common Language Runtime Every program compiles to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language) code. CLR executes MSIL byte-code. One runtime for all languages. One set of IDEs, debuggers, profilers and other tools for all languages. Same data types and class libraries for all languages.

.NET Class Library: 

.NET Class Library Classes for Windows Forms (powerful support from IDE) Serialization COM interaction Database access Code generation Interprocess communication Windows management Algorithms and data types And so on…

Code editor tools: 

Code editor tools Autocomplete Refactoring tools

Application design tools: 

Application design tools Design classes using UML

Key features of .NET : 

Key features of .NET Easy to learn and use Powerful tools for design, code, debug and test applications .NET class library A lot of third-party components .NET is main-stream technology

.NET 2.0 vs. C++: 

.NET 2.0 vs. C++ .NET is much easier to learn and use. .NET framework contains much more functionality that C++ standard library even with 3rd party extensions, such as boost (www.boost.org). .NET has more powerful tools for application designing, coding, testing and debugging. There exists much more C++ code than .NET code. C++ code is more efficient.

.NET vs. Java: 

.NET vs. Java .NET forms behaves like native windows under Win32 .NET can interact with native Win32 code Calls to Windows API COM interaction Seamless interaction with old C++ code via C++/CLI Java is more portable technology. .NET is Windows-specific.

Current .NET 2.0 issues: 

Current .NET 2.0 issues Microsoft is going to replace Windows Forms with Avalon in Windows Vista. Bugs in .NET class library. Lack of backward compatibility.

Result: 

Result ~4 C# Applications for 4 device types devices ~1 Mb source code

Disadvantages: 

Disadvantages Windows is the only platform with full .NET support Necessity of installing .NET Runtime for running .NET applications
