Microsoft .NET, more commonly called .NET Framework, is a framework created by Microsoft to help developers create web and desktop applications easier and faster. It was already in development in the 1990s, but its first beta was released in the early 2000s. It is a free, cross-platform, open-source programming tool that supports multiple languages, editors, and libraries to build some of the most fantastic web, mobile, desktop games, IoT, and more. At Dirox, we provide .NET development outsourcing solutions for firms, please get in touch with our expert consultants.
.NET is used in numerous businesses in different industries and sometimes in unpredictable situations. It is used in architecture which helps separate the functions for presentation, processing of applications, and data management. In gaming, the use of .NET is exceptionally versatile. Game development favors .NET due to its responsiveness and excellent performance. Other applications include form-based applications, web-based applications, and web services.
The key advantages of using .NET are:
- Cross-platform development
- Rich resources and libraries
- High security and reliability
- A community of highly skilled developers
If you're looking to develop a lightweight web application, this framework is the go-to choice. It is also likable because it requires less coding and offers easy and smooth deployment, high security, operational simplicity, consistency, and effective monitoring. Its monitoring system checks for infinite loops, memory leaks, and so on to help developers optimize their code.
Mono is an open-source project that aims to run .NET applications across multiple platforms and offer Linux developers better tools. It is sponsored by Microsoft and is a part of the .NET Foundation. Previously it was supported by Novell, Xamarin, and now Microsoft; Mono has gathered an active and enthusiastic contributing community for itself. It includes developer tools and infrastructure for running .NET client and server applications.
.NET Core is a new version of .NET Framework, both of which are implementations in the .NET platform. More about .NET Core can be found here.

There are two basic components of the .NET Framework: common language runtime and framework class libraries. The common language runtime is a .NET runtime framework that can run all of the .NET supported programming languages such as C#, C++, F#, Visual Basic, etc. It supports 11 native languages in total, which means that the module developed in one language can be integrated into another. The framework class library is a set of pre-built modules containing built-in capabilities that we can reuse and modify according to the project's needs.
