Microsoft .Net has revolutionized the web world. Mesh all around...with new trends emerging, old getting subdued, no standardization followed during software coding, all together resulted in an incompatible software solutions. Chaos ignited the need to define common standards for all, but this also could not be complete success. With viable internet solutions for all businesses, W3C adopted standards for web services technology that was heartily accepted by major IT players. Microsoft has become the stellar performer in Web service technology with the Microsoft dot .Net taking a bigger leap towards development. .Net framework or platform is the integration of older Microsoft technologies and web services.

Talking about the features of Microsoft .Net technologies - .Net architecture provides the most reliable web application solution on the internet. It is also safer compared to any other architecture available on the internet. The interoperability to communicate between two different applications using COM components and P/Invoke feature has really made use older technologies. Programming languages on the .Net framework are compiled into an intermediate language, Common Intermediate Language (CIL) that is compiled using Just In Time compilation into native code. .Net framework Common Type System supports multiple programming languages (approx. 40 languages). Deploying software is easy that conforms to standard software requirement. Browser compatibility, network security and platform independent are some of the most important features.

.Net framework software component added with Windows OS provides pre-coded software coding solution i.e. Base Class Library (BCL) to fulfill our programming requirement like data connectivity, user interface, cryptography, network communications. .Net programs manage program’s runtime requirement i.e. Common Language Runtime (CLR). CLR is a virtual machine for application to eliminate the need of specific CPU to execute the program. Security issues, management of memory and handling of exception thrown are part of CLR. CLR and BCL are two basic component of .Net framework. .Net has reduced the complexity of application development and security problems.
