The technology to design leading-edge solutions
Microsoft .NET is software that facilitates connecting people, information, systems, and
devices. Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET enables you to create, use, and reuse XML-based
applications, processes, and Web sites as services. These services are designed to share
and combine information and functionality with each other — on any platform or smart
device — to provide tailored solutions for organizations and individuals. Using Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET and XML Web services increases your productivity.
