.NET compliance

[Wozza]

I have a client asking if we're fully .NET compliant.

Is this a defined anywhere, or is this just one of those "Sales" terms
that loosely asks if we're compiling to IL?

Thanks

Re: .NET compliance

I beleive what he is asking is if you have the .NET framework installed.

If not, if you would allow the .NET framework to be installed.

Ill attach a snippet that was written just moments ago in the
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langau ges.vb newsgroup by Tom Leylan that is a good
explination of what .NET framework is.
== start
The .Net framework is essentially a set of libraries which contain the core
routines your application makes use of. The framework is quite large so it
isn't linked into the application but rather the single copy on a user's
machine is used by all .Net programs (whether written in VB, C# or what have
you). If the PC in question does not have the .Net framework installed it
cannot execute a .Net program. The .Net framework is free to the end user
however so anybody can download and install it. This BTW works no
differently than say Java. You can write a Java applet, imbed it into a web
page but it will not run if the user has not installed Java.
== fin

The .Net framework can be freely downloaded off the microsoft website.
