Applications that use .NET

What are your favorite applications, products, or any applications that you know of that use .NET or Asp.NET as their underlying platform? What popular companies do you know of as a .NET shop?

This question is related to a few others that I have seen. So I've just made this one as a community wiki to see what kind of a response there is.

MySpace is probably one of the biggest ASP.NET sites going around. Proves ASP.NET can handle mega load.

Myspace is built on ColdFusion.

Jeremy Reagan 2008-10-23 01:00:11

No, it's build on ASP... at the beginning COldFusion than ASP .NET

Then why do their pages still have .cfm and fuseaction, unless they are doing some mix and match.

Jeremy Reagan 2008-10-23 01:03:53

Extension is nothing in the web development you can change .php to .html or whatever. They have keep some .cfm to keep consistence I think

Daok 2008-10-23 01:05:07

Was there ever any doubt that .Net could handle large loads? It's one of the most efficient and scalable web frameworks around.

Kibbee 2008-10-23 01:23:51

I think no body doubt ASP.NET can handle mega load now, but people still think if you have really big site you have to do it on UNIX because Windows can't scale.

Craig 2008-10-23 01:29:32

Craig: you mean, Windows can't scale if all you know is Unix ;-)

Paint.net uses the .net framework, I believe it's written in C# as well.

The ASP.NET web site's Getting Started has a "Who is using ASP.NET?" section that includes MySpace.com, Dell.com, Match.com, Monster.com, Costco.com, Lego.com, and LondonStockExchange.com.

Mark Cidade 2008-10-23 01:14:58

Microsoft.com is on ASP.NET. And, it is no small, low trafficked website by any means. It has major load.

All the programas I've created using the platform are my favorites :)

I don't really see why it matters in which platform specific applications are written as long as they perform their job in a good way.

Mitch Wheat 2008-10-26 01:59:04

For me one of the more common applications that I use every day, and don't know how I could live without is Quickbookx.

It is all built on .NET as well.

Mitchel Sellers 2009-12-14 16:19:33

SharpDevelop an IDE for .Net development.

Xobni, a popular plug-in for Outlook.

JohnForDummies 2009-12-14 16:32:28

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned...

Visual Studio

Chris Stewart 2009-12-14 16:36:19

I guess the reason it hasn't been mentioned is that it's not written in .Net. VS 2010 has more parts written in managed code (big pieces of the UI for example), but far from everything.
