Introduction to .NET Framework

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 .NET – What Is It?
• Software platform
• Language neutral
• In other words:
.NET is not a language (Runtime and a library for
writing and executing written programs in any
compliant language)

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 What Is .NET
• .Net is a new framework for developing
web-based and windows-based applications
within the Microsoft environment.
• The framework offers a fundamental shift
in Microsoft strategy: it moves application
development from client-centric to server-
centric.

.NET – What Is It?

.NET Application

.NET Framework

Operating System + Hardware

ADO.NET: Data and XML

Common Language Runtime

Prof Gayatri A Amate
 The .NET Framework
.NET Framework Services
• Common Language Runtime
• Windows® Forms
• ASP.NET
– Web Forms
– Web Services
• ADO.NET, evolution of ADO
• Visual Studio.NET

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 Common Language Runtime
(CLR)
•CLR works like a virtual machine in executing
all languages.
•All .NET languages must obey the rules and
standards imposed by CLR. Examples:
– Object declaration, creation and use
– Data types,language libraries
– Error and exception handling
– Interactive Development Environment (IDE)

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 Common Language Runtime
• Development
– Mixed language applications
• Common Language Specification (CLS)
• Common Type System (CTS)
• Standard class framework
• Automatic memory management
– Consistent error handling and safer execution
– Potentially multi-platform
• Deployment
– Removal of registration dependency
– Safety – fewer versioning problems

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 Common Language Runtime
Multiple Language Support
• CTS is a rich type system built into the CLR
– Implements various types (int, double, etc)
– And operations on those types
• CLS is a set of specifications that language
and library designers need to follow
– This will ensure interoperability between
languages

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 Intermediate Language (IL)
• .NET languages are not compiled to machine code. They
are compiled to an Intermediate Language (IL).

• CLR accepts the IL code and recompiles it to machine

code. The recompilation is just-in-time (JIT) meaning it is
done as soon as a function or subroutine is called.

• The JIT code stays in memory for subsequent calls. In

cases where there is not enough memory it is discarded
thus making JIT process interpretive.

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 Languages
• Languages provided by MS
– VB, C++, C#, J#, JScript
• Third-parties are building
– APL, COBOL, Pascal, Eiffel, Haskell, ML,
Oberon, Perl, Python, Scheme, Smalltalk…

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 ASP.NET

• Logical Evolution of ASP

– Supports multiple languages
– Improved performance
– Control-based, event-driven execution model
– More productive
– Cleanly encapsulated functionality

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 ADO.NET
(Data and XML)
• New objects (e.g., DataSets)
• Separates connected / disconnected issues
• Language neutral data access
• Uses same types as CLR
• Great support for XML

Prof Gayatri A Amate

 Visual Studio.NET
• Development tool that contains a rich set of
productivity and debugging features

Operators in VB.NET

Prof Gayatri A Amate

Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic

calculations such as addition and subtraction.

VB.NET supported arithmetic are listed in the given table.

 Data Types

• Data types refer to an extensive system

used for declaring variables or functions
of different types.

• The type of a variable determines how

much space it occupies in storage and
how the bit pattern stored is
interpreted.

Data Types Available in VB.Net

 Control Flow

In a program, statements may be executed sequentially, selectively or iteratively.

Every programming language provides constructs to support sequence, selection
or iteration. So there are three types of programming constructs :

◆ Sequence
◼ Functions and Procedures

◆ Selection
◼ If...Then...Else statement
◼ Select Case statement

◆ Iterative
◼ For...Next Loop statement
◼ Do...Loop statement

Prof Gayatri A Amate

There are mainly 3 types
of loop:

➢ For Loop

➢ While Loop

➢ Do Loop

Windows
. Forms
VB.Net programmers have made extensive use of forms to
build user interfaces.
Each time you create a Windows application, Visual Studio
will display a default blank form, onto which you can drag and
drop controls from the Visual Studio Toolbox window

Prof Gayatri A Amate

Create New form in vb.net
Step 1.

Step 2 : Select project type from New project dialog Box.

Prof Gayatri A Amate

When you add a Windows Form to your project, many of the forms properties are set by
default. Although these values are convenient, they will not always suit your programming
needs. The following picture shows how is the default Form look like.

Prof Gayatri A Amate

Form Properties
Following table lists down various important properties related to a form. These properties
can be set or read during application execution. You can refer to Microsoft documentation
for a complete list of properties associated with a Form control −

Visual Studio IDE

Prof Gayatri A Amate

Visual Basic.NET IDE is built out of a collection of different windows. Some
windows are used for writing code, some for designing interfaces, and others for
getting a general overview of files or classes in your application.

Prof Gayatri A Amate

Label Control
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET controls are the graphical tools you use to build the user
interface of a VB.Net program. Labels are one of the most frequently used Visual Basic
control.
A Label control lets you place descriptive text , where the text does not need to be
changed by the user. The Label class is defined in the System.Windows.Forms
namespace.

Windows Forms
VB.Net programmers have made extensive use of forms to build user
interfaces. Each time you create a Windows application, Visual Studio
will display a default blank form, onto which you can drag and drop
controls from the Visual Studio Toolbox window.

Prof Gayatri A Amate

• The first step is to start a new project and build a form.

• Open your Visual Studio and select File->New Project and select Visual
Basic from the New project dialog box and select Windows Forms
Application.

• Enter your project name instead of WindowsApplication1 in the

bottom of dialogue box and click OK button.

• The following picture shows how to crate a new Form in Visual Studio.

Box

When you add a Windows Form to your project, many of the forms properties
are set by default. Although these values are convenient, they will not always
suit your programming needs. The following picture shows how is the default
Form look like.
