Study Notes

.NET Platform Overview

  • .NET runs on multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux).
  • .NET is developed by Microsoft with contributions from the open-source community.
  • .NET combines various frameworks into a single platform for building different application types (desktop, web, mobile, and gaming).
  • A common runtime engine is shared by all .NET languages. This engine defines a well-defined set of types understood by each language.
  • .NET supports cross-language inheritance, cross-language exception handling, and cross-language debugging.
  • .NET can be understood as a runtime environment and a comprehensive base class library.

Common Language Runtime (CLR)

  • Role: Executes and manages code written in .NET languages.
  • Services: Includes memory management, security enforcement, exception handling, and garbage collection.
  • Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation: Converts Intermediate Language (IL) code into machine code.

.NET Framework Class Library (FCL)

  • Includes fundamental classes (System, System.Collections, System.IO, System.Net, System.Security, System.Text).
  • System Namespace: Provides fundamental classes for other namespaces (e.g., System.String, System.DateTime, System.Console).
  • System.Collections: Provides collections of objects (lists, dictionaries, queues).
  • System.IO: Provides classes for input/output operations.
  • System.Net: Provides classes for network protocols.
  • System.Security: Implements the CLR security system.
  • System.Text: Provides classes for text encodings.

Common Type System (CTS)

  • Standardizes data types across different .NET languages.
  • Supports object-oriented programming (OOP).
  • Defines class types as required for OOP, classes are declared using the class keyword.
  • Interfaces are named collections of abstract member definitions.

CTS Structure Types

  • Lightweight class type with value-based semantics.
  • Used for modeling geometric and mathematical data.
  • Created in C# using the struct keyword.
  • Structures can contain fields and parameterized constructors, as well as define methods.

CTS Enumeration Types

  • Types that derive from System.Enum.
  • A handy way to group named value pairs.

CTS Delegate Types

  • .NET equivalent of a C-style function pointer.
  • Type-safe class that derives from System.MulticastDelegate.
  • Used for function pointers in a type-safe manner.

CTS Type Members

  • The CTS defines various members of types, including constructors, finalizers, static constructors, nested types, operators, methods, properties, indexers, read-only fields, constants, and events.
  • Members have specific visibility traits (e.g., public, private, protected).
  • Members can be abstract or virtual to define polymorphic behavior.

Common Language Specification (CLS)

  • Defines a subset of the CTS for .NET languages to ensure interoperability.
  • Specifies a common structure that .NET languages must support for interoperability.
