Microsoft distributes the .NET Framework in three forms::
- The .NET Framework Redistributable package contains everything needed to run a program under the .NET Framework. It includes the Common Language Runtime, DLLs, and the ASP.NET extension for the IIS Web Server. This file can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site (21 megabytes) and distributed with any application that needs it.
- The .NET Framework SDK includes the Redistributable Package, and free "command line" compilers, development tools, and documentation. It can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site (131 megabytes) and installed on any development machine.
- Visual Studio.NET is a program product sold by Microsoft that wraps the compilers and tools in an IDE with project management, code generating wizards, editor, and debugger. This product is purchased from any software vendor, although many programmers will get their copy through a campus or corporate multi-user license or a MSDN subscription.
