.NET is used as the basis for most applications developed at my organisation. These applications are used across the entire organisation and some are publicly available. .NET was originally chosen as my organisation is traditionally a Microsoft shop and it seemed the logical choice. It provides an excellent foundation for our applications and is an extensive framework to use, allowing us to address all business problems with it.

We use .NET as our main framework for back-end development. We use it to develop APIs and other things related to it. We have many different tools that all the portfolio companies use, and maintaining all of them is hard when they're not in the same scope or platform. We use .NET and its powerful tools in enterprise-level of development because it gives us the tools and direction needed to work with robust back-end solutions. With .NET Core, we can deploy in Linux environments and save in hosting. Really robust tool, solves our back-end problems.

We currently use .NET for our microservices and cloud initiatives across the enterprise, but we have a multi-decade history with .NET, using it since the first beta in year 2000, and it was the platform for all our custom in-house software development of web-based and native Windows line of business applications. We selected .NET as our preferred platform for application development and designed and deployed an n-tier architecture for delivering web-based secure internet-accessible business applications based on .NET, ASP.NET, COM+, and SQL Server.

.Net is our most widely used framework for building applications. Its ability to build applications for the web, desktop and even console/terminal-based apps makes it amazingly flexible. The C# language underpinning the framework is powerful and relatively easy to pick up. The frequent updates to the framework allow us to develop with the confidence that the necessary features and security updates will always be at the forefront. Microsoft's dedication to open source by open-sourcing .Net is a testament to the quality of code and products it seeks to support.

We use .Net for many purposes for both our clients and our own purposes. Generally, we are hosting the .Net applications in AWS or MS Azure virtual servers or web apps. At times we have written .Net code for our clients and deployed it to their own server, to get behind their firewall and access their data. Most of the time we deploy it to our own servers and host it on behalf of our clients. Some of the projects are for custom data integrations or ETL, others are for a custom web portal or UI to work in conjunction with different databases.

.Net (Dot Net) is a platform which provides a wide range of methods and interfaces upon which to build quality software. It consists of two parts:
1. The end-user part which when installed enables software build upon it, to run on the computer. This comes preinstalled on most Windows platforms, but you still are highly advised to download and install needed security updates, as well as upgrades to newer versions (current version is 5).
2. The programmer's part, which comes as a package with the Visual Studio IDE, and enables the developer to build their program/app upon its platform.

.NET is used across my department, it is used for [mission-critical real-time applications], for the manufacturing. It supports other software that run[s] in Windows O.S. so .NET can access [the] very easily and natively to the OS features. I use it even for integrating different systems, accessing DB, exporting data through web API, rest, etc.

Most of the applications we have build are web apps using Ruby on Rails, however when the need arises for a desktop application or utility, .NET is our go-to. When we need to automate data transfer to and from laboratory instruments and computer systems, we use .NET to build these out, either as a one-button utility or a GUI application using WPF.

We utilize .NET as the framework of our main application. Our application is what provides the functionality of the core of our business and it is essential that it work as efficiently as possible while also being maintainable. Using the .NET framework is incredibly powerful. There are a lot of supported tools and libraries that make using anything within the .NET framework feel very modernized. Being able to leverage all of the feature provided by the .NET framework allows us to successfully create a product that satisfies our customers.

We’ve been using .NET for more than 7 years now. It has been able to serve all our programming needs, especially when developing applications for our clients. The ability to develop web apps and websites that are dynamic, robust and interactive while also fast and secure summarizes the main feature we’ve found. Our latest project was a warehouse/retail system that connected more than 50 shops to a single items database that also connects with their point of sale system. But we've also built many other sites, including customized e-commerce shops, publishing engines and even simple corporate sites.

The Microsoft .Net framework and .Net core are used in conjunction with Azure cloud services. The background of the organization is written in MS .Net and much of our new development is all done using .NET core. Microsoft .NET is an integral part of Dynacare and all of our internal development.

Our organization has used .NET extensively for many years. We have created and implemented countless applications for both our internal and external customers. Virtually every user in the company is using a .NET application we've built, at least once per day if not all day.

We have started to create applications built on .NET Core, which gives us the flexibility to build applications that will run on any platform.

We are using .NET as the platform for a majority of our Windows-based applications. It has provided us with a highly portable solution and has let our team build several solutions across the enterprise. We've gone through several generations of the software.

Microsoft .NET is currently being used widely across our entire organization. We are creating web apps, services, web services, console application and more with Microsoft .NET. Utilizing the Microsoft .NET framework we are able to integrate many different applications and data that could not easily be integrated without costly or cumbersome applications.

For our software development department .NET is the primary development environment. We have six scrum teams and twenty or so developers who utilize .NET. C# is our language of choice for the .NET portions of our code stack. We utilize Angular on the front end which integrates into all of our .NET WebAPI endpoints. C# has always been a great language to use over the years as well as the .NET framework. .NET is an incredible tool which allows for a much easier development environment for people writing code. Very awesome to have a garbage collector which deallocates memory for the developer and one does not need to handle such tasks anymore. Obviously there is a small performance trade off for having such capabilities but for most use cases this is satisfactory. I love LINQ and the lambda syntax. Allows for much cleaner code and fewer trivial methods that can be handled with anonymous delegates now. Entity framework makes life easier when dealing with databases which is a requirement for almost any business application. WPF was fun to develop with and was a good basis for transitioning to Angular both conceptually and syntactically. Nice to have an entire layer which mostly prevents the blue screen of death!

We have used .NET platform for developing both web and windows based applications that are internal and external facing. There are several use cases like
1. Inventory Management
2. Quality Control
3. Safety and Security
4. Packaging optimization
5. Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization

We have used in all the areas for Global Operations, Spares etc. organizations for all day to day production floor support and shipment releases. We also used it for Product Life Cycle Management interface to perform Problem Report and Engineering Change Management business processes.

To achieve these .NET and HTML together were used to generate dynamic web pages smoothly.
Being an ideal server-side scripting technology, Asp.NET code first runs on Windows server before displaying on the web browser.
With the built-in configuration information, Asp.NET is easy to deploy.
The .NET Framework quickly gives an alert for memory leaks, unbounded loops, and other wrong behaviors, immediately killing them and restart them over again.

.NET is used in a wide range of projects across the LOB, especially in banking and finance and insurance industries. All desktops, client-servers, mobile and digitalization are mainly focused in Microsoft technologies.I am using it for different tech stacks, especially with C# language. TDD is a nice approach, especially the framework.
