The DotNet Framework (also known as .Net) is developed by Microsoft.
The Microsoft.NET framework has a lot of functionality. The features of the DotNet framework were created by Microsoft using the technologies that software developers need to create applications for today’s and tomorrow’s business needs.
1. Support for multiple languages
Many programming languages are supported by the dot-net platform. Each language requires its own compiler; Framework V2.0 supports up to 45 languages.
2. Debugging
A debugger is a computer programme that allows you to run your programme line by line and examine the values of variables and values passed into methods to determine why it isn't working as expected.
3. Security
It supports role-based security through the use of Windows NT accounts and groups. The CLR ensures system security by identifying users and codes, as well as performing permission checks. This level of security is a key feature of the DotNet framework.
4. Cross-Platform Design
The.NET Core framework is a cross-platform framework that runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It can assist in maximising code reuse and increasing the overall efficiency of the development process.
5. Automatic Resource Management
The.NET CLR manages memory, screen space, network connections, databases, and other resources efficiently and automatically. CLR uses the .Net framework's built-in functions to allocate and de-allocate memory for .Net objects.
6. Tool Support
To make the developer's job easier, the CLR works in combination with tools like Visual Studio, compilers, debuggers, and profilers.
7. Portability
The application built in the .Net framework is portable. It generates intermediate and machine-independent code. This was formerly known as the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), but it has since been renamed the Common Intermediate Language (CIL).
8. Simplified deployment
The.Net framework also has tools that can be used to package .Net framework-based applications. Following that, these packages can be distributed to client machines. The application would then be installed automatically by the packages.
