The Common Intermediate Language (CIL) is "the" core language of
.NET. Although .NET developers often use a high-level language
(such as C# or VB .NET) to develop their systems, they can use CIL
to do "anything" allowed by.NET specificationswhich is not the case
for C# and VB .NET. Understanding how CIL works will provide you
with a deep, language-independent insight into the core parts of
.NET. This knowledge is essential for creating dynamic types, a
powerful part of the .NET Framework.
In "CIL Programming: Under the Hood of .NET," Jason Bock offers
an in-depth tutorial on programming in CIL. First, Bock discusses
the basics of .NET assemblies and manifests. He then shows how to
create assemblies in .NETincluding the ilasm directives and CIL
opcodes, and how these are used to define assemblies, classes,
field, methods, and method definitions. Bock also covers the ways
in which C#, VB .NET, and other non-Microsoft languages emit CIL,
and how they differ. Finally, he reveals how developers can create
dynamic assemblies at runtime via the Emitter classes.
After reading this guide, you will gain a better understanding
of CIL and how to program directly into it. "CIL Programming: Under
the Hood of .NET" is a must-have on every .NET developer's desk
