Building Application Framework with C# - Introduction

Laghari

Introduction

Frameworks are generalized and customized application, which can be built upon into a complete and fully functional software programs.

In recent years frameworks have been successfully implemented for some specific application domains, most notably user interfaces and data processing. A successful framework is a breakthrough because it means that developers no longer have to start from scratch: if a framework can successfully generate one user interface, it can generate any user interface.

For example, when using Java Applets and servlets, we just need to override some of the methods to set our code running. The Java Applet Programming model and the Java Servlets are built upon the Framework Pattern. Microsoft too has implemented the MFC Class Libraries upon the same Pattern.

Prerequisite

I assume that the reader should be confident working with C#. Other than that If he/she has the basic understanding of Java Applet and Servlet so as to better understand the basic concept behind this.

Tools

The code is tested with .NET Framework Release Version running on Windows 2000. The application does not need a graphical interface therefore I used a notepad and the C# command line compiler to finish the code.

    The title gives an impression that we are going to delve deep into application frameworks...but the article is just basic, although its OK. Better change the title to avoid such comments.

    Horrible!!

    I thought this was an article about Frameworks??? Instead I get a brief on the basics of Inheritence. A Framework is a much larger issue, and cannot be covered in three HTML pages.

    A very good article and written in a very good understandable form.
    Frameworks are rightly easing the amount of effort required to put in to code development by developers.
