No. The . NET Framework is a bunch of classes(libraries) abstracting some lower-level windows functionality. C and C++ are languages.
Net framework was 1.0 which came in the year 2002. In easy words, it is a virtual machine for compiling and executing programs written in different languages like C#, VB.Net etc. It is used to develop Form-based applications, Web-based applications and Web services.
. NET was fully written in C and C++ because the base was in assembly language. Integration of assembly with C is much easier compared to newer languages.
C# is a programming language, . NET is a blanket term that tends to cover both the . NET Framework (an application framework library) and the Common Language Runtime which is the runtime in which . NET assemblies are run.
I'm building a DLL class library - I want to make it usable by as many people as possible. Which version of the .NET Framework and which C# version should I use? Is it possible to produce a backwards-compatible DLL or different DLLs for different versions? Or does Windows automatically update the .NET framework so I should just use the latest version? Any guidance appreciated!
