What is .NET / .NET Framework?
It is a Framework in which Windows applications may be developed and run.
The Microsoft .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running Web Services and applications. It provides a highly productive, standards-based, multi-language environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services as well as the agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of Internet-scale applications. The .NET Framework consists of three main parts: the common language runtime, a hierarchical set of unified class libraries, and a componentized version of Active Server Pages called ASP.NET.
The .NET Framework provides a new programming model and rich set of classes designed to simplify application development for Windows, the Web, and mobile devices. It provides full support for XML Web services, contains robust security features, and delivers new levels of programming power. The .NET Framework is used by all Microsoft languages including Visual C#, Visual J#, and Visual C++.

RE: What is .NET / .NET Framework?

.Net framework is a platform for building deploying and running web services and other applications. It provides memory management and a rich set of classes.

It facilitates integration of code written in several .net languages into one assembly. It provides a common type system to bring datatypes from several languages onto a common platform.

It also brings windows application development and web application development closer. It provides object oriented features to the web applications.

XML web services and .Net remoting allow creation of applications to be used over internet / intranet respectively.
