This book is not exactly about the common language runtime—even though it s only the tip of the .NET pyramid, the runtime is too vast a topic to be described in detail in any book of reasonable (say, luggable) size. Rather, this book focuses on the next best thing: the .NET IL Assembler. IL assembly language (ILAsm) is a low-level language, specifically designed to describe every functional feature of the common language runtime. If the runtime can do it, ILAsm must be able to express it.
