Why .NET

Hi Friends ,
Let me tell you why i have chosen .net as platform .

WHY .NET

.NET is the future of development not only for the Windows platform, but other operating systems as well. If you are not moving to .NET now, you should at least be keeping up to date with it and reevaluating it at regular intervals to determine when you will begin moving to it.

Some advantages that .net has over Java are:

• Java is not just a platform, but a language। .NET is language independent.


• Adopting .NET does not force you to adopt a single, or even specific .we can even support the Java language, and J# is very close to Java.
  Language interoperability.


• .NET can coexist with and even integrate with existing Win32 code.
  Moving to Java from Win32 is a complete paradigm shift.


• Moving to .NET is a more natural path for Win32 developers.

Technical Components Making Up The .NET Platform:

• C#, a "new" language for writing classes and components, that integrates elements of C, C++, and Java, and adds additional features, like metadata tags, related to component development.



• A "common language runtime", which runs bytecodes in an Internal Language (IL) format. Code and objects written in one language can, ostensibly, be compiled into the IL runtime, once an IL compiler is developed for the language.




• A set of base components, accessible from the common language runtime, that provide various functions (networking, containers, etc.).



• ADO+, a new generation of ADO data access components that use XML and SOAP for data interchange.
  


• Win Forms and Web Forms, new UI component frameworks accessible from Visual Studio



• ASP+, a new version of ASP that supports compilation of ASPs into the common language runtime (and therefore writing ASP scripts using any language with an IL binding).
