Main Components of .NET Framework

Common Language Runtime(CLR):   This is the basic and Virtual Machine component of the .NET Framework. It is the run-time environment in the .NET Framework that runs the codes and helps in making the development process easier by providing the various services such as remoting, type-safety, thread management, robustness, memory management, robustness etc.. Basically, it is responsible for managing the execution of .NET programs regardless of any .NET programming language.

Framework Class Library(FCL): FCL is the collection of reusable, object-oriented class libraries and methods etc that can be integrated with CLR. Also called the Assemblies. It is just like the header files in C/C++ and packages in the java. Installing .NET framework is the installation of CLR and FCL into the system.
