Introduction to Common Language Runtime


Common Language Run-time: - Introduction
CLR is .NET equivalent of Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It is the runtime that converts a MSIL code into the host machine language code, which is then executed appropriately. CLR is similar to JVM except JVM interprets .Class file into BYTECODE where CLR compile MSIL into machine native code.

CLR is a language-neutral development & execution environment that provides services to help "manage" application execution. The common language runtime manages memory, thread execution, code execution, code safety verification, compilation, and other system services.

The Common Type System is a component of the CLR that ensures that all .NET applications use the same basic data types regardless of what programming languages were used to develop the applications.


The CLR defines the Common Type System (CTS), which is a standard type system used by all .Net languages. That means all .NET programming languages uses the same representation for common Data Types, so Common Language Runtime (CLR) is a language-independent runtime environment. The Common Language Runtime (CLR) environment is also referred to as a managed environment, because during the execution of a program it also controls the interaction with the Operating System.

Introduction of .Net Namespace

.Net Namespace: - Introduction Namespaces are the way to organize .NET  Framework Class Library  into a logical grouping according to their functionality, usability as well as category. Namespaces  are logical grouping of types for the purpose of easy identification. The  .NET Framework  Class Library (FCL ) is a large collection of thousands of Classes. These Classes are organized in a hierarchical tree. The System Namespaces is the root for types in the .NET Framework. We can uniquely identify any Class in the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL ) by using the full Namespaces of the class .In .Net language every program is created with a default Namespaces . Programmers can also create their own Namespaces in .Net languages. The namespace which are created by the user is called user defined namespace. The namespace which are provided by the .NET is called predefined namespace. The following are the some predefine namespace in .NET 1.        System:- The System na

Visual studio .Net IDE: - Introduction To develop applications in Visual Studio.Net, we use a special editor called the Integrated Development Environment (IDE).The IDE allow the user to design the applications, write the action code as well as manage the files of project. An IDE help the programmer in his tasks by provides auto-formatting of the source code, highlighting of the important keywords, etc. The IDE has smart editor, compiler and some predefined tools. These tools are used for testing the project, creating the setup and creating the help files etc. Components of  IDE: - Introduction The following are the basic components of IDE New Project Dialog Box Toolbox Window Solution Explorer Server Explorer Property Window Form Design Window Code Window
