3. Top considerations of framework design Making Languages more productive Providing APIs for complex patterns Caching Add-ins Concurrency Synchronization Scaffolding Deployment Powerful Tools .NET SDK Tools Visual Studio
7. What Is The .NET Framework? WPF Win Forms DLR ASP.NET WCF And more! LINQ Base Class Libraries The CLR JIT & NGEN Garbage Collector Security Model Exception Handling Loader & Binder
8. .NET Framework 4.0 User Interface Data Access Services Windows Presentation Foundation ASP.NET (WebForms, MVC, Dynamic Data) Entity Framework ADO.NET Data Services Windows Communication Foundation WinForms LINQ to SQL Windows Workflow Foundation Core Base Class Library Dynamic Language Runtime Languages Managed Extensibility Framework LINQ Parallel Extensions Common Language Runtime
9. The goal of CLR 4.0 Working Better Together… Faster… With Fewer Bugs… In-Proc SxS Managed Extensibility Framework Native/Managed Interop DLR Integration Threading Parallel Extensions Garbage Collection Profiling Code Contracts Debugging Corrupted State Exceptions
11. Parallel Computing Task Parallel Library (TPL) Imperative Task Parallelism Work-Stealing Algorithm for maximum efficiency Higher-level abstraction (no more Thread knowledge necessary) Parallel Linq (PLINQ) Declarative Data Parallelism (focus on the *what*, not the *how*) Simple Parallelism via Linq-To-Objects Coordination Data Structures (CDS) Common structures to help with parallelism tasks
12. Managed Extensibility Framework - Summary System.ComponentModel.Composition MEF Core Components: Catalog Discovers and maintain extensions CompositionContainer Coordinate creations and satisfy dependencies ComposablePart Offer one or more exports May depend on imports for extension it uses Create reusable components Easy declaration/consumption of extensibility points Watching a specific directory for new extensions No need to create infrastructure from scratch MEF is dynamically composed
13. Code Contracts - Summary Foundation Design by contract Based on MSR’s SPEC# What does it bring? Improved testability Static verification API Documentation How does it help? Guarantee obligations on entry (parameter validations) Guarantee property at exit (return value range) Maintain property during execution (object invariance)
14. Garbage Collection - Summary Server Garbage Collection Algorithm maximizes overall throughput – fast – but all managed code has to be paused while it runs. In CLR 4.0, you can be notified before a Gen 2/ Large Object Heap collection. Useful when you can do load balancing. Workstation Garbage Collection CLR 2.0: Can do most, but not all, of a Generation 2 collection without pausing managed code New allocations go on ephemeral segment But can’t do Gen0 and Gen1 at same time as Gen2. New in CLR 4.0, we have Background Collection Background Collection can do a Gen0 or Gen1 while doing Gen2 Only unusual circumstances now lead to long latency
15. Garbage Collection - Summary Definite improvement in performance and scalability of the application Lesser chance of getting OutOfMemoryException Application health is optimum at all times. Optimum consumption of the processing power. On the server side you can load balance your application usingGCNotifications. Nothing really prevents your from using GCNotifications on workstations.
16. Dynamic Language Support Dynamic keyword: mark a property or variable as dynamic at compile time. at runtime the corresponding static type will be assigned to that entity. Dynamic Language Runtime Interoperate and interact with the CLR using dynamic languages Get the power of .NET for dynamic languages
17. Dynamic in .NET 4.0 - Summary Dynamic Language Runtime Added dynamism to .NET Added runtime type checking Full support for IronRuby, IronPython Dynamic Dispatch Introduced new type – dynamic Compiler merely packages information and defers binding to runtime Uses IDispatch interface Create your own dynamic types using: DynamicObject or IDynamicMetaObjectProvider
18. ASP.NET 4.0 ASP.NET MVC Separation of Concerns, Testability High control over market up ASP.NET Dynamic Data support for MVC Easily Create Custom controls and views based on data base ASP.NET better CSS and ID
19. More Web Goodies… ADO.NET Data Services REST based exposure of relational data Ability to go “offline” ASP.NET AJAX JavaScript UI Templates and Data-binding AJAX Control Toolkit Enhancements Client-side controls DOM selection, manipulation and animation Addition of jQuery
20. Some other interesting Enhancements CLR Enhancement Side by Side In Process runtime (CLR) Use ClrVer to see more. BCL Enhancements BigInteger Arbitrary length integer supporting all mathematical operations. Tuples Sequence of finite length System.Lazy<T> Framework implements the pattern; Developer uses it.

Windows Server includes key application server functionality directly in the operating system including distributed transactions, message queuing, a Web server and Web services, communications, workflow, and management. Complemented by the .NET Framework and Visual Studio, Windows Server is one of the leading application servers in the market today.
Could you explain this What it want to say.
What is NGEN & Loader & binder?
Parallel ExtensionsWe worked with the Parallel Extensions team to add the Task Parallel Library (TPL), Coordination Data Structures, and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) to the BCL in .NET 4.0. This includes an improved ThreadPool scheduling algorithm for tasks, the static Parallel class, concurrent collections in System.Collections.Concurrent, and other coordination data structures such as LazyInit<T>, CountdownEvent, Barrier, SemaphoreSlim, SpinLock, SpinWait, and ManualResetEventSlim. More information is available over at the PFX team’s blog. Also, check out Daniel Moth’s PDC session on Parallel Programming for Managed Developers with the Next Version of Microsoft Visual Studio.
Dynamic Language Support: In the industry see more and more use of dynamic languages such as Ruby and Python by the developer community. I still believe that static typing provides a very important safety net, but on the other hand some tasks are just done much more efficiently done in dynamic languages. Therefore I am very excited about the fact that C# will incorporate dynamic language features in its next version. C# will provide a dynamic keyword which will mark a property or variable as dynamic at compile time. Nevertheless, at runtime the corresponding static type will be assigned to that entity, see the example code below.Declarative Programming: In many ways we over specify our programs by using imperative programming techniques. This not only makes it tedious to program software but also makes it hard for the compiler to catch the intentions of the program in order for it to do optimizations (such as parallel execution). With LinQ and functional programming elements included in the C# language it is possible to declaratively specify the intention of the code which allow the compiler to optimize more intelligently. http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/TL10/
