The .NET framework class libraries are the core part of any .NET
framework programming language. It contains around 3400 classes
classified logically into namespaces.
Each class contains numerous methods and properties which you will use
for your programming tasks. These libraries are available for any
language under the Common Language Runtime environment.

Furthermore, these libraries will be automatically
installed at the time of installation of the .NET SDK. An interesting
factor with regard to .NET is that if you are familiar with one language
like C# it will be easy for you to migrate to other languages like
Visual Basic .NET without spending much time to learn new syntaxes,
visual environments and conventions. However, there are some differences
between C# and Visual Basic .NET with regard to applicability of
syntaxes. For instance, C# is a case sensitive language while Visual
Basic .NET is not. Moreover, Visual Studio .NET contains single
development environment for all .NET languages and hence the learning
curve is further simplified.
