Advantage and Disadvantage of .NET language?

Advantages of .NET

• Object Oriented

                  Everything that you see in the .NET framework is an object. It is the same for what you write within the framework. This means that you get a powerful tool to not just access but also control your apps. This also makes it simpler for you to respond to recurring events.

• Caching

                         The caching system that .NET includes is extremely robust and easy-to-use.

• Easy Maintenance

             Pages, with .NET, are extremely simple to write and maintain. This is because the source code and HTML are both together. In addition to that, the source code executes on the server. What does this mean? This makes your web pages more powerful and flexible.

• Time-Saving

               Time is money, and .NET helps you save a lot of that. The way it is developed, .NET removes a large part of the coding requirement. This means that the developers save time, and the app’s time-to-market can be shortened considerably.

• Simplicity

                 Performing common tasks with .NET is extremely simple and straight forward. Submission of forms is a breeze and so is site configuration, deployment, and client authentication.

• Feature-Rich

                       There are a range of features that can be explored by the developers in order to create powerful apps. Consider the case of its rich toolbox as also the designer in the visual studio. They let you access such features as automatic deployment, WYSIWYG editing, and drag-and-drop controls.

• Consistency

                The management and monitoring of all the processes is performed by the framework. If one of the processes is dead, a new process can be created just as easily. This lets your app be consistently available for handling requests.

• Monitoring

                  Finally, .NET also stands for its automatic monitoring. It will promptly notice any problems like infinite loops, memory leaks, etc. Not just this, it will also destroy these activities automatically and restart itself.

In conclusion, there are tons of advantages that .NET offers. These features make it popular among clients as well as programmers.

Disadvantages of .NET

Along with advantages, you will always come across disadvantages of any platform. That’s the case with .NET too.

Here’s a compilation of some of the drawbacks of using .NET:

• Limited Object Relational (OR) support

              It is found to be limited at times, because such support is generally available with entity framework only.

• Slower than Native Code

                  Managed code that you run with .NET can be slower than native code.

• Vendor lock-in

            The framework involves Vendor lock-in. This can mean that future development will be only dependent on Microsoft.

• Expensive

                       In some cases, migration of apps to .NET can turn out to be expensive.
