Solution:-
The Common Language Runtime (CLR), is the runtime environment
of the .NET framework, which manages the execution of code and provides
services. It has five components namely:
·
CTS - Common Type
System
·
CLS - Common
Language Specification
·
CIL - Common
Intermediate Language
·
JIT -
Just in Time Compiler
·
VES - Virtual
Execution System
The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component that supports
building and running the next generation of applications and XML Web services.
The .NET Framework has two main components: the common language runtime (CLR)
and the .NET Framework class library.
CLR is the foundation of the .NET Framework. It runs the code and
provides services that make the development process easier.Thus, we need .NET
Framework to support our .NET application to run on the target machine.
We need the .net framework on the machine to run our application or
software based on .net. For example, As we need JVM where ever we want to run
java applications, right same as .net it require CLR and .net framework on the
machine Java and .net are Platform Independent, not JVM and Nor CLR.
