The .Net Framework only provides the base classes. There is no application framework.

Craig,

Given the direction that MS is going with the .NET 3.0 framework, I have a different perspective...

Take WCF for example...Windows Communication Foundation, a more uniform programming model for building distributed applications across different communication modes.

Suppose for a moment that WCF didn't exist....and someone came along with library of functionality that handled what WCF handles - I think they'd be able to call their product a 'framework' without much opposition.
