Microsoft.NET Framework

The .NET Framework (pronounced as “dot net”) is a software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It includes a large class library called Framework Class Library (FCL) and provides language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages) across several programming languages. Programs written for .NET Framework execute in a software environment (in contrast to a hardware environment) named the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Features of Microsoft.Net Framework

Better UI Controls

Microsoft .NET platform offers rich user interface (UI) controls. Not only does it have a rich set of in-built UI controls, but it also supports third-party UI controls such as Telerik.

Security

The .NET framework provides a highly secure environment. It has built-in Windows authentication, which can be used to make secure and safe applications. It also has cryptography classes to secure data with encryption/decryption.

Integration

.NET integrates easily with other Microsoft products, making it easy to connect with exchange servers, emails, Lync messenger, and Microsoft Office applications, and retrieve data with a single login.

Stability & Scalability

The .NET framework provides more stability and scalability than its programming counterparts. For example, an object interface offers a roadmap to reuse the objects in newer software; this also offers you all the details you want to change the objects without affecting the other codes. It makes it easy to change the code with newer technology and faster algorithms.

MVC Architecture

MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture offers the benefit of structured code due to its SoC (Separation of Concerns) approach. The organization of code promotes code reusability and makes it possible to create scalable applications. ASP.NET MVC is easier to integrate with client side tools and support for rapid application development.

Quick Deployment

The .NET framework allows quick and easy deployment of applications. Microsoft .NET applications can be easily deployed on any Microsoft server. The framework facilitates one-time setup creation to deploy applications faster.
