The .NET Framework has two main components: the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library.
The CLR helps the execution of a code during runtime. CLR takes care of code management at program execution and provides various beneficial services such as memory management through Garbage Collector, thread management, security management, code verification, compilation, and other system services. The managed code that targets CLR benefits from useful features such as cross-language integration, cross-language exception handling, versioning, enhanced security, deployment support, and debugging.
