Is ASP.NET engine the same as CLR

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

In a book that I read it says The ASP.NET engine execute the code when the a
web request is received.

So my question is if ASP.NET engine is the same as CLR because it's CLR that
is executing the code and not the ASP.NET
engine or I'm I wrong here ?

It is the ASP.NET engine and the CLR.



Logically it is layered as:
your web app
ASP.NET
.NET CLR
Windows

Think of ASP.NET as a program listening at TCP port 80, when
a browser connects it read the request, determine the code
corresponding to the URL and call that code, that code calls
a lot of ASP.NET specific classes.

That is a gross oversimplification of things, but it should
explain the big picture.
