Customizing the Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime

By Steven Pratschner

Packed with expert guidelines and advice, this is the advanced reference you need to customize common language runtime (CLR) applications now--and as you move to Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Microsoft program manager Steven Pratschner takes you inside the workings of the CLR, showing you how it functions, and how to tailor its features for the unique requirements of your application. You'll go from configuring basic startup parameters to controlling critical runtime notations--including how code is loaded into the process, how memory is managed, and when code is scheduled to run. Find the detailed information and insights you need--and take full advantage of the increased flexibility and programmability of the CLR. Discover how to: Write your own CLR host--or customize the default host--to control startup and shutdown Use application domains and domain managers to effectively isolate groups of assemblies Learn key strategies for loading and customizing assemblies in extensible applications Extend and customize the Code Access Security (CAS) system to help protect your extensible application Unload a domain without leaking resources--and make code more reliable--using safe handles, critical finalizers, and constrained execution regions Use the host protection feature for application-specific programming model constraints Create and manage tasks with custom schedulers and thread pools Covers Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Get code samples on the Web: For information on code samples and system requirements, please see the Introduction.

Got Hosted CLR?

If you want to understand the intracies of how the 2.0 build of the CLR has been designed and implemented to support the hosting of it this book is it. I am a very curious person, I love technology and even more I love to understand how it works... When I wanted a better understanding of how SQL Server Hosted the CLR than what BOL could give me I began searching. I was referred to this book by Microsoft Program Manager(s)...

Brilliant - along with essential .net Volume 1 - the best .net books I've read to date. Highly reccommended.

One of the Definitive CLR Books

Having started in 1999, by the year 2002 I already felt old with the CLR/.NET. The exciting discovery phases were over by then. The dozen starting people of the DM CLR list had morphed intro thousands. Consequently, the year 2002, IMHO, saw the publication of the CLR/.NET books that defined the landscape and nothing really since then has really said anything that hadn't been said by then. 2002 saw the defining books of .NET...

The Definitive Book, Not for Beginners

A key part of the .NET environment is the Collom Language Runtime (CLR). At the initial level, this is a fairly simple thing to use. At a higher level, CLR gets more complex. In this book one of the program managers on the .NET Compact Framework team at Microsoft where he worked on several CLR features. This is not a beginners book. You need to have some knowledge of the .NET framework and some idea of the kinds of things...
