Hi friends,in this article i will explain about What are the different types of applications supported in .NET (or) .NET Framework?i already explained in the previous articles about  .NET Interview Questions

What are the different types of applications supported in .NET (or) .NET Framework?

                     When you hear the name .NET, it gives a feeling that it is something to do only with internet or networked applications. Even though it is true that .NET provides solid foundation for developing such applications it is possible to create many other types of applications.The below figure shows .NET framework versions from 2.0 to 4.0.

.NET programming infrastructure created by Microsoft for building, deploying, and running applications and services that use .NET technologies, such as desktop applications and Web services..NET or .NET Framework is a complete environment for developers to develop, run, and deploy the following applications:

• Console applications: These are like command DOS kind of applications like batch scripts.
• Windows Forms applications: This are like desktop applications. Using this we can create applications like notepad, WordPad, MS Office etc.I explained in previous articles about Windows Forms Appilcations.
• Windows Presentation Foundation applications (WPF): These are advanced for Windows forms. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides developers with a unified programming model for building rich Windows smart client user experiences that incorporate UI, media, and documents.
• Web applications (ASP.NET applications): ASP.NET is a server-side Web application framework designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It was developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services.I explained in previous articles about ASP.NET.
• Web services: Web services enable to quickly integrate applications across multiple platforms, systems and even across businesses. Emerging web services standards such as SOAP, WSDL and UDDI will enable system-to-system communication that is easier and cheaper than ever before.I explained in previous articles about Web services.
• Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for Windows services Service-oriented applications: It is a combination of webservice, MSMQ (Message Queuing), Remoting and COM (Component Object Model).I explained in previous articles about WCF.
• Workflow-enabled applications using Windows Workflow Foundation (WF): WF is a tool for building workflow enabled applications on windows. Workflow technology provides abstractions convenient to describe real world scenarios.

.NET Framework supports So many programming languages like Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual C++ , etc. It allows language interoperability.
