Introduction

Microsoft .Net Framework is a programming communications created by Microsoft for edifice,
deploying, and operation applications and services that use .NET technologies, such as desktop
applications and Web services. The Microsoft .NET Framework is a software framework that
can be installed on computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems. It includes a
large library of coded solutions to common programming problems and a virtual machine that
manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework.

The goal in application development is always the same: Create the best possible software in the
least amount of time. Yet the bar is continually raised, as demands from customers increase. To
meet these demands, the platforms developers build on and the tools they use must get better
and better they must evolve.
