| Definition
| FCL is the foundation of providers, types, and services upon which .NET applications are built. The fundamental FCL elements are the classes of the System namespace. It contains the most elemental functions of .NET including value types, the Object type, exception handling support, and garbage collection. Second and third level namespaces provide support for configuration management, file and network I/O, graphics, security, Web services, and many others. FCL is used by all Common Language Specification(CLS)-compliant compilers. FCL is the equivalent of Java Foundation Classes (JFC).
