.NET IL Assembler for Not Yet Techies

"Computer Careers: Working Behind the Scenes of .NET With Its Assembly Language"

by Richard Stooker, President Info Ring Press and author of Secrets of Changing to a Computer Career

.NET IL Assembler is an important piece of Microsoft's .NET initiative though it works completely behind the scenes. .NET IL Assembler is an assembly language called ILasm, not to be confused with ILASM, which is the compiler with which developers can use to develop in MSIL rather than the higher level .NET languages.

.NET IL Assembler is platform-driven rather than data-driven. The CLR converts the high level commands of the .NET languages C# and VB.NET to MSIL Microsoft Intermediate Language. This must be converted into machine and platform specific native byte code. It must use exact linguistic mapping of the underlying platform.

It also contains the IL Disassembler.

.NET IL Assembler uses metadata validation tools, but not a RAD Rapid Application Development environment

The first versions of .NET IL Assembler began life in 1998 by Jonathan Forbes. The beta came out in late 2000.
