What is boxing in .NET?

Rudrajyoti, you are completely wrong.\n\nBoxing is converting a value-type (those simple values, think of integers and floating point values as good examples, that live in stack space) into reference-types (objects with support for polimorphy, etc, that live in the heap of a program).\n\nThe operation is performed implicitly. For instance, when you create a message by calling:\n\nint year = 2006;\nint age = 2006 - 1974;\nstring.Format("This is the year {0} and I will be {1}.", (object)year, (object)age);\n\nBoth integral variables are allocated on the stack of whatever function we're into. But when the string.Format is executed, the cast (could be implicit, I've made it explicit to clarify the point) to object implies creating new instances of Int32 on the heap as real objects with separate state and able to perform things like "ToString()" on specific ways, etc.\n\nThe rationale behind this is that the CLR/MISL did not want to buy the "everything is an object on the heap" moto that makes Smalltalk crawl and be unusable. Small little numbers belong on the stack. However, if you want objects from them, you can have them.

For client/server work I use vb.net. For web work I use ColdFusion. They are both easy to learn and easy to use.

The language itself is capable of more than Visual Basic 6 and the development environment is improved greatly.\n\nApplications developed with Visual Basic .NET (2005 Express) use the .NET framework, so there is still a run-time that needs to be installed on the client machines.  (Although updates for Windows XP and Windows Vista will have these.\n\nOut of the box, you can use Visual Basic .NET to create console applications, class libraries and Windows forms applications.  While there is not a project template for VB.NET Windows services, you can still create them.\n\nVB.NET can still use 3rd party dynamic link libraries (DLLs) and COM/ActiveX controls and components.  You do have to download a separate 'Express' product to use Visual Basic .NET for Web development.\n\nOf course, the best thing about Visual Basic 2005 Express is that you can download it for *free*.  I've included the link below.

Tradition.\n\nBoxing is a respected sport all around the world.  I think it is a great way to see young fighters before they turn pro.

Well for an official and thorough comparison between Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic .net refer http://www.microsoft.com/learning/syllabi/en-us/2562bfinal.mspx\n\nCoz let me tell you will find wat you are looking for and which we all also won't be able to tell you.

It's designed from the start to be platform-independent. Everything .NET (except implementation) is a public standard that can be used to recreate the runtime environment on any platform.

Wikipedia has a pretty good list:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing\n\nThe link given above is okay but isn't as focused on the in-ring terminology:\nhttp://www.docsports.com/boxing/boxing-terms.html

It's basically the "virtual machine" that you have to have installed on a computer in order for programs made in Visual Studio.NET to work.\n\nIt is a collection of the many objects we program with in .NET.  Some of those objects are, for example, the textbox objects that know how to parse strings, the button objects that know when they are pressed and how to center an icon image, and the "common dialog controls" which help you browse the directory or choose colors.  Other objects do Just-In-Time Compiling of the .NET intermediate language and perform all sorts of other vital operations.\n\nThere are three main types of language:\n\n1. Compiled. You write the code and compile it, or translate it into 'machine code' which the computer understands without further translation.\n\n2. Interpreted. The code is written in a high-level language which is easily understood by humans. The computer must then translate the program line by line as it runs.\n\n3. Hybrid. The code is compiled into 'byte codes' which can then be translated into machine code by a computer running a runtime library. Java works this way. Essentially, the Framework is the runtime library.

.NET is a technology thats a part of all Microsoft products since 2000.\n\n.NET also commonly refers to the programming languages. Using  these programming languages, you can develop applications for .NET platform.\n\nSome examples: VB.NET, C#.NET, ASP.NET are a few examples.

The user must have .NET framework installed on computer.You can prepare setup which firstly installs the .NET framework and then your application.\nYou can check this webpage : http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/Code/Jun2003/2005.asp
