.NET fundamentals 0

1.What do you know about BCL?
The BCL (Base Class Library) is a combination of classes or we can say that it’s a library of functionalities and types available to all languages that used in .NET Framework. To make the programmer job more easier dot net gave a advantage to includes the BCL in order to collect a large number of common functions, just like to read a file and write to file, graphic rendering, database interaction, and XML document manipulation at one place . The scope of this is large and standard libraries for most other languages, including C++, and would be comparable in scope to the standard libraries is just like Java. The BCL is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Framework Class Library (FCL), which is a superset including the Microsoft namespaces.

2.In Assembly which work as GacBrowser ?
The GACPicker class allows the user to select an assembly from the Global Assembly Cache. It does this by looking at the filesystem representation of the GAC, since there appears to be no actual API in the current .NET environment.

3.What is purpose of Assembly Linker or define SDK Tool in .NET Framework?
In .NET whole the working should be with the helps of DLLs.So all of Visual Studio .Net compilers generate assemblies or u can say dll.If we want to create an assembly with manifest of a module.We can also put this assembly in separate file.This AL tool generate a file with an assembly manifest from modules or resources files.The syntax of using Al.exe is   al [sources] [options]
This tool helps in creating multi-file assembly outside Visual Studio .Net .This multi file can contain modules that are written in different language in one application.

4.Does .NET CLR and SQL SERVER run in different process?
Dot Net CLR and all .net application and Sql Server run in same process or we can say that that on the same address because there is no issue of speed because if these two process are run in different process then there may be a speed issue created one process goes fast and other slow may create the problem.

5. .NET framework stack:

6.What are similarities between Class and structure ?
Following are the similarities between classes and structures :-
√ Both can have constructors, methods, properties, fields, constants, enumerations, events, and event handlers.
√ Structures and classes can implement interface.
√ Both of them can have constructors with and without parameter.
√ Both can have delegates and events.

7.What is Assembly name and name space?
An assembly is a logical unit of code. Physically it may exist as dll or an exe. which can contain one or more files and they can be any file types like image files, text files etc. along with DLLs or EXEs.When you compile your source code by default the exe/dll which is generated is actually an assembly and every assembly file contains information about itself which is called as Assembly Manifest. Namespace is an abstract container providing context for the items it holds and allows disambiguation of items having the same name (residing in different namespaces. It can also be said as a context for identifiers. So under a namespace you can have multiple assemblies.

8.In .NET Compact Framework, can I free memory explicitly without waiting for garbage collector to free the memory?
.NET Compact Framework come with CLR which perform automatic garbage collector to free the memory without using destructor (perform garbage collector when is declare)
