The .NET Framework provides a development platform with common language runtime, class libraries and tools. It addresses challenges like language silos, complex deployment and lack of abstraction. Benefits include interoperability, uniform data formats, simplified development and inherent security. The framework supports multiple languages and applications types. It provides core services like memory management and security through the common language runtime.
