.NET Framework Version 4.0 4.7 - The .NET Framework is a development platform for building apps for web, Windows, Windows Phone, Windows Server, and Microsoft Azure. It consists of the common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library, which includes a broad range of functionality and support for many industry standards.
The .NET Framework provides many services, including memory management, type and memory safety, security, networking, and application deployment. It provides easy-to-use data structures and APIs that abstract the lower-level Windows operating system. You can use a variety of programming languages with the .NET Framework, including C#, F#, and Visual Basic.
For a general introduction to the .NET Framework for both users and developers, see Getting Started. For an introduction to the architecture and key features of the .NET Framework, see the overview.
The .NET Framework can be used with Docker and with Windows Containers. See Deploying .NET Framework applications with Docker to learn how to run your applications in Docker containers.
