What is a CLS (Common Language Specification) In .Net Framework

This is a subset of the CTS, which all .NET languages are expected to support. It was always a dream of Microsoft to unite all different languages in to one umbrella and CLS is one-step towards that. Microsoft has defined CLS, which are nothing but guidelines, that language should follow so that it can ommunicate with other .NET languages in a seamless manner.

CTS , CLS Explaition :

CTS is a base class library that contains all type information like Int32, Int64, String , Boolean etc.  CLR understands only base type of library type not others type like CLR dont know what is int (C#) or Integer (VB) CLR only know Int32 type, So what about the CLS - CLS just a documentation that map base type into different - 2 language datatype, compiler reads and converts language datatype to documented base type (i.e CTS type) e.g compiler reads the associated base type of int(C# Integer in VB) is Int32 from CLS guidelines and convert it to Int32.
