== The Basics of .NET ==
<googlehtmlet>ADSDAQBOX_FLOWadsdaqbox_flow</googlehtmlet>
.NET is a vast framework of libraries (also referred to as ''assemblies'') which provide application programming interfaces (APIs) designed to perform a wide range of application functions. For example, assemblies are provided specifically for graphical user interface creation, web application development, business process handling and database access (to name just a few). Microsoft has invested significant research and development into developing .NET to the extent that it is now one of the most comprehensive development frameworks available today.
== Listing the Methods and Properties of a .NET Class ==
The .NET Framework is a vast collection of classes, methods and properties. As such there are many resources both in print and on-line providing detailed .NET reference information. If all that is required, however, is a listing of the methods and properties available in a .NET class, this can be obtained from within the Windows PowerShell environment using the ''get-members'' cmdlet.
To obtain a list of all instance methods and properties of a particular class, simply pipe it through to the ''get-members'' cmdlet as illustrated below:
UtcNow Property System.DateTime UtcNow {get;}
