 Introduction to .NET
 Web Services
 The .NET Framework
 Common Language Runtime
 Windows Forms
 Web Forms
 ADO.NET
 Languages
Introduction t
o .NET
What is .NET ?

 A vision of how information technology

will evolve

 A platform that supports the vision

 A business model of software as a

service
Introduction t
o .NET
A Vision

 Web sites will be joined by Web services

 New smart devices will join the PC
 User interfaces will become more
adaptable and customizable
 Enabled by Web standards
Introduction t

Introduction t
o .NET
A PLATFORM
- The .NET Framework
- Visual Studio.NET
- .NET Enterprise Servers
Database, Messaging, Integration,
Commerce, Proxy, Security, Mobility,
Orchestration, Content Management
- .NET Building Block Services
Passport
.NET My Services (“Hailstorm”)
- Goal: make it incredibly easy to build powerful Web
Introduction t
o .NET
Features of .NET
 Support for 27 programming languages
 Introduction of C# - combination of JAVA and C++
 Departure from Intel-based code to CLR – Common
Language
Runtime
 Core products – C#, CLR, WinForm, ASP.NET, ADO.NET
 .NET makes extensive use of XML and SOAP
 SOAP – can be used as substitute for EAI or middleware
 Integrate front & back office, in addition to Web Services
 Comparable to Sun’s J2EE
Introduction t
o .NET
Key Benefits of .NET
Ease of Use
Object-oriented model
- Everything is an object
Namespace and Framework structure
- Easier to comprehend and use
- Naming scheme of namespaces reflects the
underlying functionality

Freedom to Choose
The language that meets your needs
The development tool that is best for you
The “features and functionality” to “plug in to”
Introduction t
o .NET
Key Benefits of .NET
(contd.)
 Stability
Say “goodbye” to memory leaks
Garbage collection manages memory
Assembly eliminates DLL compatibility issues
Deliverables are restricted to an assembly

 Security
Restricting or containing the illegal memory reference
Comprehensive security model
Assembly specific
System wide
Code inspection through MSIL
Introduction t
o .NET
Key Benefits of .NET
(contd.)
 Deployment and Management
Deployment: Code is “Assembled” and Run “Securely”
Maintenance: Version Maintenance Simplified

 Unified Experience
Integrate disparate services into a new, unified solution

 Web Services

 The Web the Way You Want It

Anywhere
Anytime
On any device
Introduction t
o .NET
Who uses this Technology ?

 Any company with a presence on the Internet or who uses

the Internet as a means for data exchange

 On-line retailers, development of wireless apps for non-PC

devices

 CSFB, Marks & Spencer, EDS, Trans World Entertainment.

Web Services

 .NET is built on the idea of Web Services

 It uses Framework classes, such as
System.Web.Services
System.Web.Services.Description
System.Web.Services.Discovery
 It enables communication through open standards
XML
- Service description expressed with WSDL
SOAP
- Basic wire format
- Universal Description Discovery Integration
(UDDI)
Web Services
The .NET Fram
ework
 A set of technologies for developing and using
components to create:
 Web Forms
 Web Services
 Windows Applications

 Supports the software lifecycle

 Development
 Debugging
 Deployment
 Maintenance

GOALS
 Development services
- Deep cross-language interoperability
- Increased productivity

 Deployment services
- Simple, reliable deployment
- Fewer versioning problems

 Run-time services
- Performance - Scalability - Availability
- Reliability - Security - Safety
Common Language

COMPLILATION

Source Code Assembly

C++, C#, VB or any

Compiler
DLL or EXE
.NET language csc.exe or vbc.exe
Common Language
Runtime
Assemblie
s
 Assembly
- Logical unit of deployment
- Contains Manifest, Metadata, MSIL and resources
 Manifest
- Metadata about the components in an assembly (version, types,
dependencies, etc.)
 Type Metadata
- Completely describes all types defined in an assembly: properties,
methods, arguments, return values, attributes, base classes, …
 Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL, IL)
- All languages compile to IL (managed code)
- IL is always compiled to native code before being executed
 Resources
- E.g. .bmp, .jpg

Common Language
Runtime
Multiple Language
Support
 Common Type System (CTS)
- A superset of the data types used by most modern
programming languages

 Common Language Specification (CLS)

- A subset of CTS that allows code written in different
languages to interoperate

 What languages?
- Microsoft: C++, Visual Basic, C#, JScript
- Third-Party: Cobol, Eiffel, Smalltalk, Scheme, Oberon,
Haskell, Java, Python, Perl, …
Common Language
Runtime
Application
s
 An application consists of one or more
assemblies
 How does one assembly bind to another?
- Based upon metadata and policy
Local (preferred)
Assembly Global Cache

 Multiple versions of an assembly may exist on

the same machine
- Easier software deployment, updates and removal
- Multiple versions of an assembly can even be used by the
Common Language
Runtime
Security
 Evidence-based security (authentication)

 Based on user identity and code identity

 Configurable policies

 Imperative and declarative interfaces

 Rich set of controls
Web Forms
 Allows separation of UI and business logic
 Uses .NET languages - Not just scripting
 Easy to use components
 XCOPY/FTP deployment
 Simple configuration (XML-based)
 Caching (pages, fragments, custom)
 Scalable session state management
 Tracing support
 ASP.NET is extensible - No ISAPI / ASP dichotomy
 Automatic process rollover
 Forms-based authentication
ADO.NET

 Similar to ADO, but better factored

 Language-neutral data access
 Supports two styles of data access

- Forward-only, read-only access

 Supports data binding

 DataSet: a collection of tables
 Can view and process data relationally (tables)
or
