Microsoft .NET Framework

.NET Framework is a component of the Windows operating systems. It is a development and execution environment that allows different programming languages & libraries to work together to create Windows-based applications, including ASP.NET web applications.

The .NET Framework provides the basic infrastructure that Windows-based applications need to make Microsoft’s .NET vision of connecting information, people, systems, and devices a reality:

Support for standard networking protocols & specifications: For example, TCP/IP, SOAP, XML, & HTTP allow a broad range of information, people, systems, and devices to be connected.

Support for different programming languages: Therefore, developers can pick the language of their choice.

Support for programming libraries developed in different languages: It provides a consistent programming model for using prepackaged units of functionality (libraries).

Support for different Windows platforms: It allows people, systems, and devices to be connected using different computing platforms.
