What are clr?cts?cls?..

Answer / gangadhar

All .NET applications are compiled into Intermediate
Language code (MSIL). When executed on the CLR, MSIL is
converted into native machine code specific to the
operating platform. This process is done by a Just In Time
(JIT) compiler. The code executed by the CLR is called as
Managed Code. This code is type safe and thoroughly checked
by the CLR before being deployed. The .NET runtime also
provides a facility to incorporate existing COM components
and DLL's into a .NET application. Code that is not
controlled by the CLR is called Unmanaged Code.

The .NET Framework is further comprised of Common Type
System (CTS) and Common Language Specification (CLS). The
CTS defines the common data types used by .NET programming
languages. The CTS tells you how to represent characters
and numbers in a program. The CLS represents the guidelines
defined by for the .NET Framework. These specifications are
normally used by the compiler developers and are available
for all languages, which target the .NET Framework.

CTS-> Common Type System
It defines how types are declared,used and managed in the runtime.
CLS works with CTS to support language interoperability
that target .net.

Answer / raj

CLR is .NET runtime execution environment. It manages code
verification, code-based security, code execution, memory
management through Garbage Collector. All the code that
runs under the control of CLR is termed as managed code.
Source code is first compiled to MSIL (microsoft
intermediate language) by JIT. Portion of the code is
executed as it is called by JIT compiler. Not all the code
gets executed for the first time. IL code is then converted
to native machine code.

CLS works with CTS to support language interoperability
that target .net. CTS defines predefined datatypes. CLS is
set of standards that all languages target .net must
support. all code must be CLS-compliant code to be able to
interoperable.

CLR is a combination of complier and runtime environment.It
is integrated unit which can't be saperated, it manage all
