.Net 3.0 Introduction

Introduction:

In the programming field, .NET is the most successful development platform..Net Framework 2.0 is enough to satisfy for most of us. .NET Framework 3.0 came with many new and useable features. With .NET Framework 3.0, developers feel more easy when develops. In the new version of .NET, there is nothing new with CLR (Common Language runtime) but it introduces four new technologies. The latest versions of .NET are .NET Framework 3.0. Programming with .NET Framework 3.0 become more advance.

It is built with all the advantage of .NET framework 2.0, and is all set to bring in a paradigm shift in the way we write our applications today. When we go to develop any application then the main goal we set is, to create the Best application in least amount of time. The .NET Framework 3.0 will still ship with Windows Vista, and will be available down-level for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 as planned.This newly released framework was earlier named as WinFx! .NET Framework 3.0 , compromise of familiar .NET Framework2.0 components (ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Window Forms etc).There are four new technologies in .NET Framework 3.0. These technologies are added to face the new challenge of software development. These new complementary technologies are added to address some of the most arduous challenges of contemporary software development.

The New in .NET Framework 3.0

Here .NET Framework 3.0 is same like as .NET Framework 2.0, but with some new technology and feature. The entire features are same in new framework, which was in .NET Framework 2.0.

As .NET 2.0 and 3.0 share the same CLR, everything written in .NET 2.0 works in .NET 3.0 which is an important and significant departure from previous versions. In terms of change, for those who love algebra equations the relationship can be summed anecdotally as:

The .NET Framework 3.0 achieves this objective through four key standards-based pillars corresponding to areas identified and requested by our customers. It also introduced a key new language called XAML. XAML is a declarative XML-based language that defines objects and their properties in XML allowing customers to develop workflows (WF) and immersive user experiences (WPF) declaratively.

.NET 3.0 = .NET 2.0 + Windows Communication Foundation + Windows Presentation Foundation + Window CardSpace + Workflow Foundation

The .NET 3.0 introducing four new foundation technologies:

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF)
Windows Card Space (WCS)

Lets learn WPF in the Next Post.
