C# - One Programmer’s Approach

C# Environment

Program in C# (or VB.NET or C++)

Build project (called a Solution, which can contain one or more assemblies)

Compile each assembly into IL (intermediate language)

Run solution under CLR (common run time) which

–Checks IL to make sure it is well behaved

–Combines assemblies in a solution to make a single executable

–Converts IL of all assembiles to machine code optimized for machine on which it is running

–
