C#.NET -------- Introduction to C#.Net

.NET or DOTNET means NETwork enable Technology,

Actually, these is no abbreviation for .NET but it just tells that .NET means a network enable technology i.e., by using of .NET we can network.

What is .NET ?

.NET is not a programming language
.NET is not a technology
.NET is not a ERP tool
.NET is not a Data base query language

.NET is framework tool which supports multiple languages
.NET is platform for  interaction of more languages and more technologies

A framework is the combination of libraries (DLLs) and runtime (CLR) i.e., a framework provides a predefined libraries to support program languages
A platform is the combination of  operating system architecture and process architecture.

Language : It acts as interface between the programmer and the system.
language offers some rules and regulations for writing the programs and it also offers some libraries
which is required for writing the programs.
Ex : C#.NET , C , C++, JAVA, VB.NET

Technology : It doesn't offer any specific rules for writing the programs But it offers some libraries.
It requires a language for the rules to write the programs.e
ex : ASP.NET , ADO.NET
Platform Dependent : The code that is generated after language compilier compilation dosn't run on different platform

Platform Independent : The code that is generated after language compilier compilation does run on different platforms.

Why .NET ?
.NET supports so many features they are
1. Platform independent language
2. Language interoperatability (coverting one language code into another languages )
3. Object Oriented Programming System.
4. Robust language
5. It gives own IDE (ms visual studio)
6. It gives network communicated applications
