Learn about the fundamentals and inner workings of the Common Type System (CTS) and the Virtual
Execution System (VES) of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and how they relate to the Base
Class Library (BCL) from the perspective of the execution environment. The author first gives
an introduction to the .NET Framework and describes the architectural and engineering resources
required when implementing the .NET Framework on any platform. Next you will learn about the
BCL and understand how to work with system structures including the fundamental built-in types
system.array and system.string. You will then learn about the VES along with its methods and
functionality. Further you will go through the Common Intermediate Language (CIL) Assembly
Manifest and versioning. You will also learn how to design and implement libraries in detail
by creating a .NET class library. After reading this book you will understand .NET Framework
features as well as details about the core functionalities of the VES and elements of the CTS.
