Summary
In this chapter, you took a high-level look at the core library provided to .NET developers: the .NET Framework class library. You started by learning the basic structure of the .NET Framework class library. You then moved on to examine many of the namespaces that make up the class library. You will see many of these namespaces in later chapters. You should now have an appreciation of how large the library is and a good idea of how to navigate through it.
In the next chapter, you will look at the very helpful C++/CLI-integrated XML documentation. With this addition, you will be able to make your own documentation that is easy to read, write, and maintain.
