Features: The Microsoft .NET Framework provides powerful technical support for simplifying the development of applications and components that seamlessly connect to the Internet, such as ASP.NET Web Forms, XML Web Services, and Windows Forms. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate the core content of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) in the .NET Framework. The entire book is written by two highly respected developers/authors and assumes that readers have a basic understanding of object-oriented programming concepts, such as data abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. The book clearly explains the extended type system of the CLR, how the CLR manages type behavior, and how applications operate on types. Although the focus of this book is on Visual Basic .NET, the content is equally applicable to all programming languages that target the .NET Framework.
