What is .Net?
In short we can easily explain .Net as in the following:
What's New in .NET4.5?
There are many new services, features and updates in .NET 4.5, in terms of these following contexts:
- Client & Device
- Web & Cloud
- Fundamentals
- Garbage Collection (GC)
- Libraries
.NET 4.5 is designed to support these fundamentals, these also can be defined as framework or structural parts of .NET 4.5, these are as follows:
- Developer Productivity
- Application Performance
- Continuous Innovation
Developer Productivity
Developer Productivity is enhanced for directly supporting the future features of several structural parts and parts related to the Common Language Runtime (CLR). Outlines of developer productivity are:
- New features in CLR
- Edit & Continue for 64-bit CLR is the same as for 32-bit
- Windows Store development tools specifications
- Method Return value inspection
- Debugging Enhancements
- ADO.NET Modifications
Application performance is improved for several add-on functionalities to the developers. This modification in application performance will also increase the user experience in designing and developing. Some of those add-on functionalities are:
- Multi Core JIT improvements
- ASP.NET application suspension
- On demand large heap object
- Object heap compaction
- Consistent performance
Continuous Innovation
Continuous innovation is supported by updating in the .NET Framework, JIT compiler, structure and many more services, that professional developers really require, whenever they talk about any modifications in the Microsoft .NET Framework. This continuous innovation is followed by these guidelines in .NET4.5:
- .NET Framework updates
- NuGet releases
- NuGet Packages
