Play the CLR acronym game! [Brad Abrams]

  • Article

One of my pet peeves is seeing people use obscure managed code related terms incorrectly. So, I thought I’d make a little game out of it… Can you match the term to their usage correct?

 

Terms:

  1. CLR
  2. CLS
  3. CTS
  4. CLI
  5. CER

 

Fill in the blank:

  1. The __ is a contract between language vendors and framework authors that allows languages to work with the framework.
  2. ECMA and ISO standardize the __.
  3. The __ manages the execution of your code.
  4. This .NET Framework 2.0 feature known as __s allows you to specify a constrained subset of your code that the runtime can provide stronger execution guarantees.
  5. The fact that generics work for both value types and reference types is a feature of the __.

 

Any one got a guess? Extra credit if you can provide the expiation for the acronym and link to a valid usage on the web.
