Common Language Runtime (CLR)

The CLR is the execution engine for .NET applications. It handles compilation, memory management, security, and more.

Explore the CLR Overview for details.

Memory Management

.NET uses a generational garbage collector that automatically reclaims memory for objects that are no longer in use.

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var obj = new MyClass();
        // No explicit delete needed
    }
}
