As you all know that in .net there are different compilers like for c#-csc,vb-vbc  etc after your code is complied it will convert to MSIL code which is independent  this MSIL code will goes to CLR & this CLR is platform dependent i.e for unix platform you should have unix type of CLR ,for windows like the same so we can say that .net code is platform independent.

.NET is not platform independent .. to run .NET applications one needs to install .NET Framework .. and currently .NET Framework is supported by windows only .. till .NET Framework is not released for other OS officially .. till then .NET cannot be considered to be platform independent ..

There are certain 3rd party tools such as MONO to run ASP.NET on linux .. but that doesn't make .NET Platform independent.

Yes, Dot Net is the Plateform Independent. It only looks for Server to Execute the code.

.Net is Platform independent means is
1.  u can use .net on multiple Operating System as Windows 98,WinNT,Win Server2000    and windows new versions as well Linux using Mono.


2. .Net , Asp.Net can work on Linux also using MONO.

As of now CLR are not available for Win95 and DOS, it means .Net cannot be executed on Win95 and DOS, hence .Net is Partially platform Independent.

Yes .Net is a platform independent, but platform independence of .NET is only theoretical at present because, at the time of writing, a complete implementation of .NET is only available for Windows. However, there is a partial implementation available.

.NET is not a platform independent It islanguage independent. We have to write a coding in any language you know (.NET supported languages). Java is platform indepentent (OS indepentent). We have to compile the Java program in any platform (Microsoft Windows) and run the program in other platforms (UNIX etc)

JVM can be installed on any System, but .NET Framework is confined to Windows platform only. Thus, .NET can't considered as Platform independent.

We cannot say that .Net framewrk  is independent rather we can say that the application which we creates in this frame work shall make independent by using SILVERLIGHT.

I think .Net framework independent in the way of hardware configuration. It supports anytype of hardware configuration but not different types of operating system.
If we have made project in Windows operating system and want to run on Linux operating system then it will not support and if we wish to run on this operating system then we have to install a specific software.

Thanks!

Because JVM supports all operating systems so Java is pure platform independent.

.net framework is partially dependent and partially independent language. This is because the .net applications works on windows OS and also Linux OS (Of course with help of framework called MONO framework). However, .net framework is targeted for windows architecture. So it gives its best performance in windows OS. It doesn't mean that it works only on windows OS. So .net is neither dependent nor independent.
