".NET Framework includes a set of standard class libraries. The class library is organized in a hierarchy of namespaces. Most of the built-in application programming interfaces (APIs) are part of either System.* or Microsoft.* namespaces. These class libraries implement many common functions, such as file reading and writing, graphic rendering, database interaction, and XML document manipulation. The class libraries are available for all CLI compliant languages. The class library is divided into two parts (with no clear boundary): Base Class Library (BCL) and Framework Class Library (FCL)."

The text switches from singular to plural and vice-versa for no obvious reason. It makes the text hard to follow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.223.158 (talk) 00:54, 20 June 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Also, as far as I understand it, it seems that the FCL is one mega-library and not a set of multiples smaller libraries. So, shouldn't be just all in singular? I'm not an expert on .NET at all, I try to understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.223.158 (talk) 01:17, 20 June 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

I came to this article hoping to learn how .NET Core relates to .NET Framework, but it is not very clear. For example, what does the following sentence mean?

 On November 12, 2014, Microsoft announced .NET Core, in an effort to include cross-platform support for .NET, the source release of Microsoft's CoreCLR implementation, source for the "entire [...] library stack" for .NET Core, and the adoption of a conventional ("bazaar"-like) open-source development model under the consolation stewardship of the .NET Foundation.

It feels like there is a verb or clause missing somewhere. And I have no idea what a "consolation stewardship" might be. Is it supposed to be "consolidating" or something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.198.149.235 (talk) 11:16, 23 December 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

I am missing something about .NET Standard in this article (I don't know if it qualifies as a proper noun or not).

@Mortense: I agree but have you looked at .NET Standard? —Uzume (talk) 17:37, 6 December 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

Why doesn't any of the articles - .NET, Microsoft .NET strategy, .NET Framework version history, .NET Foundation - talk about what the name means and the reason it was adopted?? 2600:1012:A023:CE67:C58:8C1:A822:2365 (talk) 03:30, 29 October 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
