How to Microsoft .Net Framework

Microsoft .Net Languages source code are compiled into Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) . MSIL we can call it as Intermediate Language (IL) or Common Intermediate Language (CIL).
 Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) is a CPU independent set of instructions that can be converted to the native code. Metadata also created in the course of compile time with Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and stored it with the compiled code .
ematodes is completely self-describing . Metadata is stored in a file called Manifest, and it contains information about the members, types, references and all the other data that the Common Language Runtime (CLR) needs for execution .
the Common Language Runtime (CLR) uses metadata to locate and load classes, generate native code, provide security, and execute Managed Code.
both Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and Metadata assembled together is known as Portable Executable (PE) file. Portable Executable (PE) is supposed to be portable across all 32-bit operating systems by Microsoft .Net Framework.
