.NET Framework is a software framework from Microsoft that is used for building and executing applications and services based on .Net technology.
The .Net Framework consists of three major components – ASP.Net, the Common Language Runtime, and the Framework Class Library. Since their introduction, Microsoft has released several versions of .Net frameworks.

Runtime errors may also frequently occur if your system is infected with malware. To prevent malware, such as virus, worms, and trojans from breaching your system’s security and disrupt the way system and other important files function, install a reliable and advanced malware tool such as Spyware Cease on your computer.
You may also experience various runtime errors if invalid, corrupt, and obsolete entries creep into your system registry. Maintain a clean and health registry by scheduling regular registry scans and cleanup using an efficient registry cleaning utility, such as RegServe.
