Study Notes

.NET Framework Overview

  • .NET Framework is a software platform for building applications on Windows and various non-Microsoft operating systems like Mac OS X and Linux.
  • Platform-independent nature allows deployment on multiple operating systems.
  • Supports numerous programming languages with a common runtime engine for language integration.

Key Components of .NET

  • Common Language Runtime (CLR)

    • Serves as the runtime layer managing .NET objects, memory, application hosting, threading, and security.
  • Common Type System (CTS)

    • Defines all possible data types and programming constructs supported by the runtime, detailing interaction and representation in .NET format.
  • Common Language Specification (CLS)

    • Describes a subset of common types and constructs that all .NET languages can utilize, ensuring compatibility.
  • Base Class Library

    • Provides predefined types and methods for common tasks such as file handling, graphics, and database interactions.

C# Programming Language

  • Developed by Microsoft, C# is object-oriented and recognized by ECMA and ISO.
  • Based on Java and C++, it eliminates the need for pointer manipulation.
  • Utilizes automatic memory management via garbage collection and supports strongly typed queries like LINQ.
  • Managed code runs under the CLR, while unmanaged code is not directly hosted by it.

Assemblies in .NET

  • Fundamental components that contain executable code for the CLR to execute, available as .exe or .dll files.
  • Generated code is compiled into Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), allowing interaction between different .NET languages.
  • CLR converts MSIL to machine language during runtime through just-in-time (JIT) compilation.

Namespaces and Organization

  • Namespaces group semantically related types, which help organize program elements in C#.
  • The using keyword is applied to use specific namespaces within a program.

Open Source and Cross-platform Support

  • Mono Project

    • An open-source distribution of the Common Language Infrastructure, targeting various platforms, including Linux, Mac, and mobile devices.
  • .NET Core 5

    • A cross-platform version emphasizing the construction of libraries and enterprise web applications.

Additional Features

  • Interoperability with existing code allows integration with legacy systems and other programming environments.
  • Streamlined deployment model for easier application management.

Summary

  • .NET Framework encompasses an array of features including a robust runtime environment (CLR), strong type system (CTS), interoperability through MSIL, and access to a comprehensive library.
  • C# serves as a versatile language within the framework, applying modern programming concepts and best practices.
  • Open-source projects like Mono provide broad compatibility, facilitating cross-platform software development.
