.NET Frameworks

Serving IT, Finance, insurance and any other industrial sectors.

What is .NET ?

.NET is a set of technologies that spans many platforms including mobile devices, desktop clients, and web services. In addition, .NET Compact Framework and .NET Micro Framework (now open source) extend that reach even further into smaller-footprint devices.

Desktop Client

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a next-generation system for building Windows client applications with visually stunning user experiences. With WPF, you can create a wide range of both standalone and browser-hosted applications. WPF is included in the Microsoft .NET Framework, so you can build applications that incorporate other elements of the .NET Framework class library.

  • WPF provides powerful controls and advanced features such as layout, data binding and templating to build visually rich, powerful applications.
  • Development and maintenance costs are reduced because XAML markup is not tightly coupled with behavior-specific code.
  • Development is more efficient because designers can implement an application’s appearance simultaneously with developers building in .NET.

Microsoft Framework

The .NET Micro Framework is the smallest version of .NET for very resource-constrained devices. It offers a complete and innovative development and execution environment that brings the productivity of modern computing tools to embedded programming. Even though it’s offered under an Open Source License (Apache 2.0) it is still under active development inside Microsoft in coordination with active community contributions.

  • Easily develop powerful, interactive, and complex embedded applications.
  • Securely connect devices over wired or wireless protocols.
  • Develop reliable solutions faster at lower cost.
  • Develop the endpoints of your solution for connected devices using the same tools that are used on the servers and in the cloud.

Compact Framework

The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework enables you to build and run managed applications and use Web services. The .NET Compact Framework includes an optimized common language runtime (CLR) and a subset of the.NET Framework class library, which supports features such as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Forms. It also contains classes that are designed exclusively for the .NET Compact Framework.

  • The .NET Compact Framework is a subset of the full .NET Framework.
  • It implements the Framework class library and also contains features and classes that are specific to mobile and embedded development.

Server / Azure

.NET is the richest and most productive way for developers to create applications on premise (Windows Server) and in the cloud (Windows Azure). It’s also the best way to build first-class back-ends for any device running on any OS (Windows 8, iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7).

  • .NET is the best environment to develop cloud applications spawning the private datacenter and the public cloud.
  • .NET on the server powers ASP.NET, WIF, Entity Framework and WCF.
  • .NET provides the best capabilities and framework to enable developers to create next-generation enterprise solutions.
  • .NET and Visual Studio enable developers to manage all their development tasks in a very productive way.
