Analysis of .NET Framework 4 better than previous version?

From: http://sn.im/11s0li

We created the poll question last week to allow the viewers to place their vote for their opinion about whether NET Framework 4 is better than the previous version. Now the poll result has out, total number of people who voted is 8 , there are 6 out of 8 who voted yes, 1 voted no and 1 voted for no difference. As we can see in the chart, the percentage of people who think that NET Framework 4 is better than the previous version is 75%, people who think that previous version is better  is 12% and people who think that both version of NET Framework have no difference is 13%.

The .NET Framework 4 introduces an improved security model. Other new features and improvements in the .NET Framework 4 are described in the following sections:
·         Application Compatibility and Deployment
·         Core New Features and Improvements
·         Managed Extensibility Framework
·         Parallel Computing
·         Networking
·         Web
·         Client
·         Data
·         Windows Communication Foundation
·         Windows Workflow Foundation


The .NET Framework 4 is highly compatible with applications that are built with earlier .NET Framework versions, except for some changes that were made to improve security, standards compliance, correctness, reliability, and performance.

The .NET Framework 4 does not automatically use its version of the common language runtime to run applications that are built with earlier versions of the .NET Framework. To run older applications with .NET Framework 4, you must compile your application with the target .NET Framework version specified in the properties for your project in Visual Studio, or you can specify the supported runtime with the <supported Runtime> Element in an application configuration file.

The results from the chart show that, the .NET Framework 4 is better than the previous version.

.Net VS Java

For all the Java users, the .NET Framework may seem likely to the Java platform. Both have structured way to create applications, both have languages that compile to intermediate code, and both provide a large library of APIs for application development. However, the .NET Framework has different set of goals compared to Java platform.


JAVA
1. Java language.
2. The objective of the Java platform is to compile applications written in the Java language to Java bytecode.
3. Java has always been a single language with multiple platforms.
4. Support connected architecture.
5. Sun Microsystem's product.
6. Has support to open source platform.

.NET
1. Multiple of programming languages.
2. The purpose of the .NET Framework is to compile applications written in any language to MSIL.
3. Net has a single platform with multiple programming languages.
4. Support disconnected architecture.
5. Microsoft's product.
6. Has no direct support for Open source platforms.


How to Move Java Applications to the .NET Framework
Didn't know it before? Now you can finally know ! There are two ways recommended for you all to move Java applications to the .NET Framework. First of all, upgrade them to Visual J# .NET, or convert them to Visual C# .NET. Each approach requires a different effort, and each has different advantages. Both approaches also mean moving the application to Microsoft Windows, since the full version of the .NET Framework is available only for Microsoft Windows.

Introduction of Microsoft .NET

Link To Us: http://sn.im/10sr1z

Microsoft .NET is Microsoft's new Internet strategy. The .NET was originally called NGWS. NGWS stand for Next Generation Window Services. Before the official announcement of .NET, the term NGWS was used for Microsoft's plans for producing an "Internet-based platform of Next Generation Windows Services". 

The Microsoft .NET is …
  • .NET is Microsoft's new Internet and Web strategy
  • .NET is NOT a new operating system
  • .NET is a new Internet and Web based infrastructure
  • .NET delivers software as Web Services
  • .NET is a framework for universal services
  • .NET is a server centric computing model
  • .NET will run in any browser on any platform
  • .NET is based on the newest Web standards

The .NET is built on the following Internet standards:
  • HTTP, the communication protocol between Internet Applications
  • XML, the format for exchanging data between Internet Applications
  • SOAP, the standard format for requesting Web Services
  • UDDI, the standard to search and discover Web Services

The new Microsoft .NET Platform is the infrastructure of the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework is a common environment for building, deploying, and running Web Services and Web Applications. The .NET Framework contains common class libraries such as ADO.NET, ASP.NET and Windows Forms that is to provide advanced standard services that can be integrated into a variety of computer systems. The .NET Framework is language neutral. Currently it supports C++, C#, Visual Basic, JScript (The Microsoft version of JavaScript) and COBOL The new Visual Studio.NET is a common development environment for the new .NET Framework. It provides a feature-rich application execution environment, simplified development and easy integration between a numbers of different development languages.

.NET Frame work 4


The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component that supports building and running the next generation of applications and Web services. The key components of the .NET Framework are the common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library, which includes ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The .NET Framework provides a managed execution environment, simplified development and deployment, and integration with a wide variety of programming languages.

The .NET Framework 4 is highly compatible with applications that are built with earlier .NET Framework versions, except for some changes that were made to improve security, standards compliance, correctness, reliability, and performance.
The .NET Framework 4 does not automatically use its version of the common language runtime to run applications that are built with earlier versions of the .NET Framework. To run older applications with .NET Framework 4, you must compile your application with the target .NET Framework version specified in the properties for your project in Visual Studio, or you can specify the supported runtime with the Element in an application configuration file.

This feature enables an application to load and start multiple versions of the .NET Framework in the same process. For example, you can run applications that load add-ins (or components) that are based on the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 and add-ins that are based on the .NET Framework 4 in the same process. Older components continue to use the older .NET Framework version, and new components use the new .NET Framework version.

The .NET Framework 4 provides the System.Tuple class for creating tuple objects that contain structured data. It also provides generic tuple classes to support tuples that have from one to eight components (that is, singletons through octuples). To support tuple objects that have nine or more components, there is a generic tuple class with seven type parameters and an eighth parameter of any tuple type. 

64-Bit Operating Systems and Processes

  • You can identify 64-bit operating systems and processes with the Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem and Environment.Is64BitProcess properties.
  • You can specify a 32-bit or 64-bit view of the registry with the Microsoft.Win32.Registry View enumeration when you open base keys.
