PE = portable executable

If you take a simple, single file assembly, as a PE, it has assembly info,
as well as the IL code. The tool to create a PE, in .NET, is one of the
compilers.

Now, if you are talking creating a standard COM PE, you cannot do that in
..NET. You can wrap the .NET assembly in a COM wrapper, but you will still
have to have .NET installed to run the assembly.

Hope this helps.

Hello Balaji,

..NET PE files, that is,Microsoft Windows portable executable dlls or exes
contain the MSIL.
Compilers for languages, such as the Microsoft Visual C#® development tool
and
Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET development system, output Microsoft
intermediate
language (MSIL) instructions, which are contained in standard Microsoft
Windows
portable executable (PE) .dll or .exe files. When the assembly is loaded and
a method is
called, the method's MSIL code is compiled by a just-in-time (JIT) compiler
into native
machine instructions, which are subsequently executed. Methods that are
never called are not JIT-compiled.
