CLR in .NET Framework

Hi Frank,

Common Language Runtime (CLR) is a core part of .NET Framework.

In other word, 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.

CLR 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.
