Virtual Execution System (VES) The VES (usually referred to as the runtime) is the environment in which the CIL byte code is executed. The VES reads the byte code generated by the C# compiler and uses something called a Just in Time (JIT) compiler to compile the byte code down to the native machine code of the processor on which it is running. While this code is executing it does so in conjunction with a runtime agent which essentially manages the execution process. As a result, this executing code is known as managed code and the process handles issues such as garbage collection (to handle memory allocation and deallocation), memory access and type safety to ensure that the code does not do anything it is not supposed to do. A term that is often used in connection with the VES is the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR is officially the name given to Microsoft's implementation of the VES component of the CLI specification. It is worth noting that the JIT process can introduce a...

1. What is CLR? Common Language Runtime (CLR) is a run-time environment that manages the execution of .NET code and provides services like memory management, debugging, security, etc. The CLR is also known as Virtual Execution System (VES). 2. What is CLI? The CLI is a set of specifications for a runtime environment, including a common type system, base class library, and a machine-independent intermediate code known as the Common Intermediate Language (CIL). (Source: Wikipedia.) 3. List the various stages of Page-Load lifecycle. o Init() o Load() o PreRender() o Unload() 4. Explain Assembly and Manifest. An assembly is a collection of one or more files and one of them (DLL or EXE) contains a special metadata called Assembly Manifest. The manifest is stored as binary data and contains details like versioning requirements for the assembly, the author, security permissions, and list of files forming the assembly. An assembly is created whenever a...
