"D.NET (DDotNet) is a "Development for .NET" framework, created to help all developers to create a better applications.Contains a implementation of ORM (Object Relational Mapping) framework with Business Objects Framework and other components."I don't think this is what the OP was looking for.

I agree with CyberShadow, but it is a fine answer for a vague question.

has nothing to do with D, just accidental similarity in name

I am in no way contradicting Jon Skeet. I posted before him and was unaware that his answer would conflict with mine.

The two don't even really contradict each other - they're just interpreting the question differently.

Assuming you mean D the programming language, you can't currently do so. The currently released D compilers compile to native code, not managed code. A port is in progress, and this recent InfoQ interview which may be of interest for more information.
This existing question has other information and links.

Ooh... that'll be interesting. I was under the impression that it had various features which wouldn't really work for a managed environment... but then there's C++/CLI, so...

I was gonna say that .. if there's a C++.Net then why the hell is D.Net not possible??

It's not that you can't make it work. It's just that there are a few points that end up being a Cast iron SOB to get right. see: http://the-free-meme.blogspot.com/ for more details

@Ctrl Alt D-1337: Even the edited answer? Are you saying there *is* a version which is ready to be used right now?
Jon Skeet
2009-03-24 11:51:18
No I was talking about the original answer otherwise everybody is correct as long as they eventually edit.

So did you downvote the *existing* answer on the basis of what was *originally* there, despite the current answer being informative?
Jon Skeet
2009-03-24 12:03:27
I don't find the current answer informative. I've read that article and I'm already aware of http://the-free-meme.blogspot.com/ http://dsource.org/projects/nanu http://dsource.org/projects/nono

Mind if I add those links to the answer? And while it may not be informative to *you* (already knowing about those things) don't you think it's informative to the OP?
Jon Skeet
2009-03-24 13:10:27
Those links I gave are not so informative if he had searched: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/539234/using-d-programming-language-in-a-net-context .

I've edited it heavily - although I wouldn't say the original answer was actually wrong, in terms of the options the OP has available today. Can he get D for the .NET framework? I don't think so, today. Of course, more information is good, hence the edit...
