Net framework is used to develop normal desktop/Web application where as compact framework is the one used to develop / run mobile applications. The Compact Framework is also a subset of the .Net framework. If you look at the MSDN documentation for a given framework method, such as this one [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d9hw1as6.aspx] which is the member list for the System.Collection.Generic.List class, you will see small logos next to the method/member names. If you see what looks like a small phone icon, that indicates that method is available on the Compact Framework. As an aside, the smaller "X" icon means it is available on the XNA framework, which is targeted for gaming development on the Xbox 360 and Windows.
.NET Compact Framework controls was created in 2002.
.NET is a framework, PHP is a scripting (programming) language.
Mobile applications in .Net can be created with the .Net Compact Framework. Much of the .Net framework is in the Compact Framework. In the MSDN documentation, note which class methods and properties have what looks like a small "cellphone" icon. This indicates the method is available in the .Net CF.
You would have to use a version of Visual Studio that can target the .Net Compact Framework. Be aware that the Compact Framework is a SUBset of the .Net Framework, so there will be some missing classes and methods.
Microsoft is probably the best reliable online source for which to find information on a Net Compact Framework. There are tutorials available on not only downloading and installing, but also upgrading, as well.

The .NET Framework and .NET are related but different technologies: .NET Framework - This is Microsoft's original implementation of .NET for building applications that run on Windows. The .NET Framework provides a runtime environment and libraries for .NET applications. It was first released in 2002. .NET - This is the current evolution of the original .NET Framework. Whereas .NET Framework was Windows-only, .NET is a cross-platform, open-source implementation that runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, etc. It supports more modern application scenarios like cloud, mobile, and web apps. Some key differences: .NET Framework only runs on Windows. .NET runs cross-platform. .NET Framework is closed source. .NET is open source. .NET Framework is only supported by Microsoft. .NET is supported by Microsoft and the .NET community. .NET Framework is legacy technology. .NET represents the current direction. .NET has unified frameworks like .NET Core and .NET 5+. .NET Framework had separate versions like .NET Framework 3.5, 4.0, etc. In summary: .NET Framework is the original Windows-only .NET released in 2002. .NET is the new open-source, cross-platform version of .NET, representing the future direction.

The software you need to install for the .NET framework is the .NET framework.
.net is framework is a runtime environment for running .net projects..
.net platform supports programming languages that are .net compatible. It is the platform using which we can build and develop the applications. .net framework is the engine inside the .net platform which actually compiles and produces the executable code. .net framework contains CLR(Common Language Runtime) and FCL(Framework Class Library) using which it produces the platform independent codes.
Hi In order to run .Net programmed applications, you have to have .Net Framework installed in your computer. It depends that the programmer programmed with which version of .Net? .Net Framework's versions are: .Net Framework 1.0 .Net Framework 2.0 .Net Framework 3.0 .Net Framework 3.5 .Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) .Net Framework 4.0 Usually, a .Net programmer has all of these .Net versions installed in his computer. But, as a client you have to have the .Net version that your programmed is coded by. Usually, the programmer makes the application installation file equipped with.Net Framework, so it installs on your computer and you don't have to do anything more.
One can download the Net framework from Microsoft's Net Framework Developer Center. Some programs may not work unless the exact Net Framework is instaled.
