Microsoft supported languages: C# (ECMA) Visual Basic .Net Managed C++ J# JScript.Net

Plus over 40 third-party languages

Assemblies

Similar to Java package Can be one or multiple files Contain

Manifest Modules (code) Resources

Satellite assemblies for localised resources Strongly named

Strong name = (publisher token, assembly name, version vector, culture)
