Benefits, limitations and applications of the .NET framework

Ack in the early programming days, coding used to be hectic and required developers to put in tremendous effort and write endless lines of code even for a simple function. But those days are behind us. Ever since Microsoft released its .NET framework, it has completely altered the face of the web application development realm. Today, it’s possible to build complex and dynamic apps without overburdening the developers. That’s why .NET is special, and it’s the reason why a large proportion of business enterprises opt for DotNet website development.

Let’s take a deeper look at the framework’s advantages and disadvantages and know how it fares:

The upside:

 

• The web applications designed using this platform are secure, making them a perfect fit for organizations that handle massive amounts of sensitive information.
•  What might take several lines of codes on other platforms only take a fraction on the .NET framework.
•  It provides seamless language integration allowing you to call methods from C#, VB.NET and more.
•  It provides a rich toolbox in the form of Visual Studio that provides simple WYSIWYG editing and drag-and-drop controls.
•  It includes provisions for a single coding environment for developers to code on multiple languages including C++, Java, Visual Basic, etc.
•  .NET can be automatically monitored, i.e. any issues arising out of memory leaks, infinite loops, etc., are swiftly identified.
•  Since coding on the .NET framework is super fast, it significantly brings down the web application development time.

 The downside:

 

• It involves vendor lock-in. Any future development is dependent fully on Microsoft
• Application migration from .NET to other platforms is expensive.
• The cost of their IDE (Visual Studio) might seem high to some.
• The managed code run on the platform can be slower than native code. 
• Applications built on this generally consume more system resources.

Where and how is .NET framework used?

• Can be used to design applications to achieve certain business functions such as CRM, finance management, supply chain management, etc.
• Interlinks a range of computing devices that can be used in a collaborative work environment
• Integration of multiple communication modes, such as email, phones, or fax
• Allows creation of multi-tiered applications to make management easy
• It can be used to redesign an application to accommodate the growing needs of an organization.

If you’re looking for a platform for web application development, despite its minor disadvantages, .NET still wins over other options.
