Common Language Runtime

The .NET Framework provides a run-time environment called the common language runtime, which runs the code and provides services that make the development process easier.

Compilers and tools expose the common language runtime's functionality and enable you to write code that benefits from this managed execution environment. Code that you develop with a language compiler that targets the runtime is called managed code; it benefits from features such as cross-language integration, cross-language exception handling, enhanced security, versioning and deployment support, a simplified model for component interaction, and debugging and profiling services.
The runtime provides the following benefits:

Performance improvements.

The ability to easily use components developed in other languages.

Extensible types provided by a class library.

Language features such as inheritance, interfaces, and overloading for object-oriented programming.

Support for explicit free threading that allows creation of multithreaded, scalable applications.

Support for structured exception handling.

Support for custom attributes.

Garbage collection.

Use of delegates instead of function pointers for increased type safety and security. For more information about delegates, see Common Type System.

We will see CLR & its services in detail in this video tutorial.
