Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) is a byte-code that Microsoft .NET technology uses to accomplish platform independence and runtime safety. During compilation of .NET programming language, the source code is translated into MSIL code rather than machine-specific object code. MSIL is a CPU- and platform-independent instruction set that can be executed in any environment supporting the .NET framework. MSIL code is verified for safety during... more
