What makes .NET platform Independent?
To answer this question, we must first understand
what Platform dependency and Platform
independency mean. Platform dependence
Usually refers to applications that run under
only a single operating system in one series of
computers (like Windows running on x86 hardware)
which means software will function only in one
particular hardware.

What makes .NET platform Independent?
Platform independence Means implementing a
code irrespective of the operating system on
which it is being executed. It first converts the
program to the intermediate state Byte code and
then compiles the program to another language
source code. Theoretically, .NET (DotNet) is
platform independent because it is compiled and
executed with CLR!

.NET
.NET is a platform for developing managed
applications. The code written using .NET
framework is called "managed code". DotNet
framework is the engine present inside the .NET
platform which compiles and produces executable
codes. .NET framework contains CLR (Common
Language Runtime) and FCL (Framework Class
Library) which are responsible to produce the
platform independent codes.

2 Phases of conversation - Source code into
Machine code
Phase 1 The compiler of any .NET language
converts the source code into Microsoft
Intermediate language (MSIL) / IL (Intermediate
Language) or Byte Code. Phase 2 The CLR
converts this byte code which is assembled into
machine code using .NET compiler JIT converts
this code into native code that is understood by
operating systems.

So, in short we can say CLR resides above the
operating system and handles everything. It is
the heart of .NET framework and is responsible
for its platform independency.
