Advantages of .Net Framework

The .Net Framework offers a number of advantages to developers..They are

1) Consistent programming model
2) Direct Support for Security
3) Simplified Development efforts
4) Easy application deployment and Maintenance
5) Assemblies

1)Consistent programming model :
                                     With .Net accessing data with a C# and VB.Net very similar apart from slight syntactical differences. Both the programs need to import the System.Data namespace, both programs establish connection with database and both programs run a query and display the data.
