Press Release Body = Icreon Communications (Pvt.) Ltd. (Wednesday, May 3rd 2007) - Icreon Communications, today discussed how Microsoft .NET framework 3.0 is proliferating the software development companies and reengineering the workflow to provide secure cubical for the developers, also providing enterprise customers with higher degree of security than earlier. At the same, reducing the complexity and cost incurred in development and maintenance of web applications.
Icreon being an early adapter of the .NET framework was perhaps the first to present a paper on the .NET framework in a conference hosted by Wiretrade and Microsoft in Mauritius. Starting from system requirement to technologies, security issues and future of .Net framework was also discussed. Following points were discussed with the team members, project managers so that they remain updated and ahead in this tech savvy database driven corporate world.
The .NET 3.0 is the latest version of the .NET Framework released by Microsoft. It concatenates .NET 2.0 Framework with other technologies resulting in uniform communication across various technologies that have visually alluring user experiences. It can be used in combination with the following technologies: . Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) - The API that is based on XML and vector graphics and aids in the development of the User Interface aspect of an application.
. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) - The API which enables computers remain connected by a network to communicate with each other. It combines Web Services, .NET Remoting, Distributed Transactions and Message Queues into a singe model.
. Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) - This technology enables developers to build and manage workflow based applications. XAML a XML based language is used to define the workflow structure.
. Windows CardSpace (WCS) - WCS is used to store and secure digital identities of users transacting over the Internet. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 2003 SP1 or later, Windows XP SP2 or later, Windows Vista Hardware Requirements: 500 MB free hard disk space, 256 MB RAM, 1 GHz Pentium Processor
Enterprise Infrastructure
.NET provides a platform-independent structure for software development, with numerous built-in features. It completely depends on software components and the component based programming models.
The two principal components of .NET are the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLI is a set of terms for a runtime environment, which includes a common type system, Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code, which is machine independent and a base class library. The CLR offers a platform for managing code that conforms to the CLI. The CLR translates the CIL into a local machine code before its execution.
CIL is self-describing through .NET metadata. The metadata is checked by CLR to make sure that the correct method is being deployed. Developers are enabled to generate metadata; though it is also generated by the language compilers in some cases. If a language implementation generates CIL, it can be hosted using the CLR and can then interact with data produced by any other .NET language.
.NET Security mechanism has two basic features:
Code access security is evidence (the source of the assembly) oriented, which is linked with a particular assembly. It is either directly installed on the native machine or can be downloaded from the internet. Evidence is used by code access security to verify the permissions granted to the code. Other code can demand that calling code is granted a specified permission.
Validation & Verification are the two tests performed by CLR when the assembly is loaded. During the validation process the CLR verifies the presence of metadata & CIL and also verifies for the validity of internal tables. By deploying a few algorithms the verification mechanism checks if the code does any thing that is \'unsafe\'.
.NET Languages The CLI has been designed in a way that it supports any OOP language by sharing a common object model and a large common class library. Some of the languages supported in .Net Framework are: C# 2.0, VB.NET 2005, J# 2.0, XAML, ASP.NET 2.0
Professionals also focused on the latest version, .NET 3.5 Orcas Beta 1 Framework. It features were summarized as: 3.5version includes a new compiler that supports Language Integrated Query (LINQ), as well as new language features in C# and VB.NET. ASP.NET AJAX can be deployed for creating more competent, effective and more interactive and highly-personalized Web experiences that work across different browsers. The new 3.5 beta version supports new web protocol for building WCF services including AJAX, JSON, REST, POX, RSS, ATOM and several new WS-* standards Tools fully support for WF, WCF and WPF including the new workflow-enabled services technology. New classes in the base class library (BCL) for the .NET Framework 3.5 address the most common customer requests.
About Dot NET Framework, The .NET Framework is a software development platform developed by Microsoft and is based on the use of a virtual machine that runs an Intermediate Language (IL). Codes/Programs are written to produce IL which is further distributed to users to run on virtual machines. C#, VB.NET and C++ compilers are accessible from Microsoft for developing IL. .NET has given new functionalities and tools to the application programming interface. These improvisations facilitate the process of developing applications for Windows, as well as for web services. .NET framework provides a contemporary, insightful, object-oriented API. High flexibility standards have been implemented in its design to make it multi-language compatible. It has eased development of applications and reduced the security threats.
