The .Net CLR (Common Language Runtime) is a set of libraries and platform utilized by all .Net applications.  At the lowest level, .Net apps are compiled into MSIL – interpreted bytecode – that is then processed by the virtual machine to run the application.  Although the .Net platform has been thoroughly tested and receives frequent updates through the Microsoft Update service, there are certain glitches in controls and subsystems that can cause problems in applications.  At that level, it is often necessary to decompile the CLR and analyze exactly what is causing the problem, as well as review solutions on how to fix it.

In addition to advanced debugging, it may also be necessary to create customizations of the CLR.  The CLR is responsible for advanced language services such as garbage collection, code compilation and dynamic injection, and exception handling.  Customization of the CLR can yield powerful functionality that may be necessary for integration into certain external systems or creation of various platforms. 

The lower-level CLR functions are often leveraged for integration of external COM and C/C++ libraries.  The integration projects can be a challenge, and often require an experienced developer in order to properly bridge the disparate systems.  In addition to properly mapping the memory and execution the functions, highly-coupled systems that use advanced structures and pointers in the interface will require leveraging the static memory management components of the CLR.  This is often especially useful in .Net driver development, where each abstraction can reduce hardware performance and direct mapping between functions is a necessity.
