.COMP 326 PROGRAMMING IN C#
Introduction
.NET technology was introduced by Microsoft, to catch the
market from the SUN's Java. Few years back, Microsoft had
only VC++ and VB to compete with Java, but Java was

seemed to be loosing the battle. Thousands of programmers
moved to java from VC++ and VB. To recover the
market,Microsoft announced .NET.
The .NET is the technology, on which all other Microsoft
technologies will be depending on in future.
It is a new framework platform for developing web-based and
windows-based applications within the Microsoft
environment.

.NET Framework
.NET Framework is a computing model that makes things

The version was called .Net framework 1.0. The .Net Common Language Runtime (CLR)
framework has come a long way since then, and the current Common Language Specification(CLS)

Base Class Library(BCL)/Framework Class
.NET framework comes with a single class library. Whether write the Library(FCL)

framework. CLR manages the execution of programs written
in different supported languages.
CLR transforms source code into a form of bytecode known as
Common Intermediate Language (CIL). At run time, CLR
handles the execution of the CIL code.

interoperability, and .NET Class Framework, are not possible
without all the language sharing the same data types. What
this means is that an "int" should mean the same in VB,
VC++, C# and all other .NET compliant languages. Same idea
follows for all the other data types. It is an important part of the
runtimes support for cross language integration.
CLS- stands for Common Language Specification and it is a
subset of CTS. It defines a set of rules and restrictions that
every language must follow which runs under .NET
framework. The languages which follows these set of rules are
said to be CLS Compliant. It enables cross-language
interoperability between various programming languages.
BCL - stands for Base Class Library ( Unified Classes) is a
subset of Framework class library (FCL). Class library is the
collection of reusable types that are closely integrated with
CLR. All .NET-based languages also access the same libraries.
The .NET Framework has an extensive set of class libraries.
This includes classes for:
• Data Access: High Performance data· access classes for
connecting to SQL Server or any other OLEDB provider.
• XML Supports: Next generation XML support that goes far
beyond the functionality of MSXML.
