subject: Information About The .net Framework And Its Advantages [print this page] The Microsoft .Net is a kind of a software framework that runs on Windows Operating System. It has a large library that contains coded solutions and various programming tools to help developers to create Windows software applications. The frameworks base class library offers a wide array of various tools and instruments including user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application and network communications.
.Net Development benefits and advantages
The .Net development is constructed on the basic fundamentals of using the communication protocol of HTTP between the various Internet applications. XML is used as the format for exchanging data between Internet applications while SOAP is the format used to request web services. UDDI is the standard that is used to search and discover web services. There are a number of benefits and advantages attached to using .Net framework for developing software applications.
Reliable and Robust: .Net framework does offer a robust and a reliable model. Most companies prefer to outsource it to Indian companies because the .Net developers are completely proficient in it and can develop robust software applications using the .Net framework.
A consistent programming tool: Unlike other programming languages that may possess a different approach to do a certain task, it is not the same case with .Net. When accessing data with a VB .Net and a C# .Net, it look quite similar except for the minor syntactical differences.
Comprehensive Security Support: .Net allows the developer and the administrator to use industry standard protocols to specify the level of security.
Track visitors: .Net framework allows businesses to easily track the number of visitors visiting their sites and even allows one to access reports on the requested web pages.
Short Description for Asp .Net and VB.Net
Asp.Net: This is an application framework that forms the base for creating dynamic web sites, web applications, and web services. Asp.Net is founded on the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and it allows outsourced developers to write ASP.Net using any .Net-supported language.
VB.Net: VB.Net is an object oriented programming language that has originated from Microsofts Visual Basic. Some of the versions of VB.Net used by .Net developers include VB 7, VB 7.1, VB 8, VB 9 and VB 10.
Tools and Framework for .Net Development Some of the tools and framework used by .Net developers when .Net development services are outsourced to India include the following:
Spring.net: Spring.net is an open source application framework meant for the Java platform. .Net developers can easily download this framework and use it to develop any kind of java development application.
MVC: MVC or also known as Model-View-Controller is a kind of a software architectural pattern that is used extensively to build web applications. The ASP.Net MVC framework is enables .Net developers to easily create web applications by combining the models, views, and controllers through interface-based contracts.
Nhibernate: Nhibernate is a part of Hibernate Core for Java that is used in .Net Framework development applications. This transports .Net objects to and from an underlying relational database.
List the web and desktop application
Some of the leading .Net web and desktop applications that are used by .Net developers to create .Net framework software solutions include:
ASP.Net 1.0/2.0/3.0/3.5 using C# and Visual Basic.NET
