Ms .net Framework Installed? Developing software for the framework?

Hi all,I currently learning C++ and the .net framework, .net is MS big next thing when it comes to connecting web services e.g client apps and web apps communicating with each other via SOAP / XML, I've been reading alot about the technology and it looks like its going to take over in a big way, I'm writing this here at team17 as I think we have enough of a wide audience to take an important poll (in the eyes of developers and users), I'm thinking of whether to develop my next app in this framework or stick to the original framework each having their pro's and cons.I'm just wondering how many of you guys know about the .net framework, do you care about it? are you developing for it? do you have it installed? do you find it annoying to have to install the framework as an extra for the software to work? (e.g like the java virtual machine for java programs), This would help me and many greatly as we can see just how important .net applications are.Whats your views?

Yeah...I developed a number of VB.NET softwares ...And I'm still developing on .NETBut I don't do web stuffs with .NET...

i have been learning and working on C++ for the last 3 years...i just installed VS.net in my comp yday and got a book and started doing some programming.. it was nice and cool.. go ahead and try it out.. i also started learing ASP.net.. i already know ASP.

I've been developing SW on VB/C#.NET for ages - but only desktop applications. I wouldn't even think of going the www way with asp.net - when it comes to writing applications for the internet - nothing like PHP/MySQL combo.. never never touch asp.net .. that, along with activex controls (which invariably come your way when you design asp pages) - are utter crap.. and potentially damaging to your system in a wide number of way.. apart from the fact that you need IE to view most of such pages properly.

I used to spend much of my time learning ASP.Net, but now just write bits and pieces of code and end up leaving it sitting on my hard drive after not knowing how to do a certain task. I like the .Net concept, I feel that it puts together many important features under one roof (and a single 20 MB download). I built a few really small programs in Visual Basic.NET 2005 (using the Express Edition Beta 2) and found everything I needed in the 400 something MB download (documentation, classes, IDE, etc.).

I have .net installed in my pc. I don't really develop programs for it. It just helps me run some programs

I have installed vs.net 2003 and learning what winforms and asp.net is, and have some asp knowlege.

I think most of the developer have dot net installed, no matter the developer is a dot net or a java or something others lauguage developer. However, I wonder what version of dot net version (1.1 or 2.0) are installed.

Hi!

I agree ASP.NET development is at a level of abstraction the makes the developer believe that it's just a windows forms application being built by emulating state for the state-less HTTP, but it does a good job for building quick-n-dirty intranet applications.

Without ASP.NET, I'd see my firm hiring more senior developers resulting in higher development costs.

I have installed .Net framwork from 2.0 ,3,5,4.0 in my system. The applications developed with .net require the .net framework installed in the system. I have been a c# developer for last 2 Year, I have to practice my technical skills with these .net framework..Net framework consist of a large amount of libraries which helps to run the .net aplication smoothly. When we install the latest .net framework, libraries include in the previous version will also install with the latest .net framework. We can see the dlls for .Net framework in the windows folder. To install the ASp.Net application, we have to configure the web server linke IIS. The IIS together with .Net Framework helps to run .Net web applications.
