TheVirtual Execution System (VES) is arun-time system of theCommon Language Infrastructure CLI which provides an environment for executingmanaged code. It provides direct support for a set of built-in data types, defines a hypothetical machine with an associated machine model and state, a set of control flow constructs, and an exception handling model. To a large extent, the purpose of the VES is to provide the support required to execute theCommon Intermediate Language CIL instruction set.
TheCommon Language Runtime (CLR) implements the VES as defined in theCommon Language Infrastructure (CLI) standard. Other notable implementations of the CLI such asMono andPortable.NET include their own VES implementations. The.NET Micro Framework includes the .NET Micro Framework Interpreter as their VES implementation.
