CLR Hosting

CLR hosting refers to the process of running the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR)—the core component that manages .NET applications—inside a custom environment or application. It allows developers to embed the CLR into their programs, enabling them to execute .NET code, manage memory, and handle security and exceptions within their own systems. Essentially, CLR hosting provides control over how and when .NET code runs, integrating it seamlessly with other software or services, which is useful for creating specialized applications, servers, or tools that leverage .NET capabilities within a broader platform.
