Question Compilation of Code

[Sureshg03]

Dear All,

I m starting with .Net, i have read a few article and bit confused how the compilation works.

Pls see where m i going wrong
1.When u compile the code, the CLR/vbc compiles the code in MSIL(native code)
2.JIT converts the code into machine code

i want to ask does JIT have to convert the code each time the native code is executed?

Pls help, so that i can go to the further concepts

Regards
Suresh G

True for all above. You can go one step further by precompiling assembly with ngen to add it to computers native image cache. Ngen.exe (Native Image Generator)
