Framework
This is actually an abbreviation for Framework Class Library (FCL).
In July 2000 Microsoft announced the release of its new .NET platform, which represented a major change in the way people think about programming.
This library contains namespaces and classes to support just about everything: input and output, string manipulation, security management, network communication, thread management, text manipulation.
