hi,
I want to have some information about the limitations of microsoft .NET framework, e.g. it runs only on microsoft windows 2000 version or something like that ....

Hi,

You can run .NET apps on all windows version (starting from 95). But you have to install the .NET framework on your client pc's. You can consider this as a limitation.

Jan,
thnx for ur reply but i think for the installation of .net framework, i have to have windows 2000 server with IIS running over it. but ur reply gives me idea that .net framework may be installed on simple windows. is it right ???

The framework can be installed on any windows version. But if you want to use a computer as a Webserver, hosting .NET ASP applications, then your operating system has to be Windows 2000 or higher (professional and server versions).

Is there any other limitation like migration of .net application from one server to other or some compatibility issues with other programs in other languages like java, c++ or anything comes under limitations area.

Deployment of .NET applications is very simple! You do not have to register the DLL's you use anymore in the registry. If you have the DLL's in the same dir. as you main application, it is enough! (this would be the /bin directory of .NET ASP apps)

You can communicate with other apps made in different languages, with the Soap protocol. This is fully supported in .NET so you can very easily create and/or use Webservices.
