Before we move ahead to deal with .NET Framework, let us
have a look at the history of .Net Framework.
Microsoft started development of the .NET Framework [.NetFx]
in the late 1990’s with the code name "Next Generation Windows Services
[NGWS]."
First beta version of .NetFx was released in November 2000.
There after, Microsoft has released many versions of .NetFx to make .NetFx more
effective and also developer friendly.
