* .NET framework-based applications that are written in supportive languages like C#, F#, or Visual basic are compiled to Common Intermediate Language (CIL).
* The .NET framework is a software development platform that supports an object-oriented approach. It offers services, like memory management, networking, security, and type safety.
* Compiled code is stored in the form of an assembly file that has a .dll or .exe file extension.
* When the .NET application runs, Common Language Runtime (CLR) takes the assembly file and converts the CIL into machine code with the help of the Just In Time(JIT) compiler.
