Line 1: The '''Common Language Infrastructure''' is used in the [[Microsoft]] [[.NET]] initiative as the basis for running programs written in different [[programming language \| programming languages]]. Before this [[Visual Basic]] for example has required a component ~~<i>VBRUN</i>~~''VBVM'' and Visual C++ uses <i>MSVCRT</i> for the compiled programs to run. The common language infrastructure is an effort to unify the different runtime modules needed. It uses a [[virtual machine]] and a class library [[Common Language Runtime]]. (see Microsoft site [http://www.microsoft.com/partner/products/microsoftnet/CLRTechPage.asp]). There are many compilers being developed which produce code for this virtual machine. The code it executes is called Common Intermediate Language (CIL) or Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL).
