Common Language Runtime (CLR) manages the implementation of code and provides diverse services like trash collection and support for Base Class Libraries etc.

As the name suggest CLR Common Language Runtime is basically a technique used in .Net technology which helps to support different languages in a common or same manner. It means whether you code in C#, C++ it will basically convert into common language. It is this feature of .Net technology which helps to code in different languages for one single project...

Common Language Runtime is implementation of CLI. The core runtime engine in the Microsoft .NET Framework for executing applications. The common language runtime supplies managed code with services such as cross-language integration, code access security, object lifetime management, resource management, type safety, pre-emptive threading, metadata services, and debugging and profiling support.

CLR is a tool that is used for converting various programming language, to a common programming language while working on a single project.

Common Language Runtime (CLR) - Executes the code we write and allows objects written in different languages to interact with each other. CLR makes development of Web applications simple and smoother.

Common Language Runtime - It is the implementation of CLI. The core runtime engine in the Microsoft .NET Framework for executing applications. The common language runtime supplies managed code with services such as cross-language integration, code access security, object lifetime management, resouce management, type safety, pre-emptive threading, metadata services (type reflection), and debugging and profiling support. The ASP.NET Framework and Internet Explorer are examples of hosting CLR.

CLR is an abbreviation for Common Language Runtime and is the most vital component of the .NET framework. All languages have runtime and it is the responsibility of a runtime to take care of the code execution.

For example, Java has its Java Virtual Machine and VB6 has MSVBVM60.Dll. Similarly .Net has CLR.

The CLR has the following responsibilities :


* Execute IL (Intermediate Language) code
* Garbage Collection
* Code Access Security
* Code verification, etc.

CLR is common language runtime its use code implementation in .NET it manages the code.

CLR stands for Common Language Runtime and is the most important part of the .NET framework. The code written in any language is the responsibility of a runtime to take care of the execution.

It is also main part of .Net Framwork. It is a Set of Rules and Regulations The Code Controlled by the CLR is alleged Managed Code,The Code Not controlled by the CLR is Unmanaged code.
