Important of MSIL:

• The microsoft intermediate Language(MSIL) also known as the common intermediate language(CIL).
• It is a set of instructions that are platform independent and are generated by the language-specific compiler from the source code.
• The MSIL is platform independent and consequently.
• It can be executed on any of the common language infrastructure supported environments such as the windows .NET runtime.
• The MSIL is converted into a particular computer environment specific machine code by the JIT compiler.
• This is done before the MSIL can be executed.
• The source code is converted into the MSIL by a language-specific compiler in the compile time of the CLR.
• Metadata is also produced in the compilation.
• The metadata contains information such as the defination and signature of the types in the code, runtime information etc.
• The JIT compiler then converts the MSIL into the machine code that is specific to the computer environment that the JIT compiler runs on.
• The Machine code obtained using the JIT compiler is then executed by the processor of the computer.
