Hosting Interfaces

This section describes the interfaces that unmanaged hosts can use to integrate the common language runtime (CLR) into their applications.

Important Note:
The hosting interfaces that are supported for the CLR in the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1 are not supported in later versions of the .NET Framework. Mixing and matching these interfaces could cause unexpected behavior. Because of the significant differences between the hosting interfaces, the documentation is organized in two subsections.

In This Section

Hosting Interfaces for the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1
Describes the hosting interfaces available with the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1.
Hosting Interfaces for the .NET Framework 2.0 and Later
Describes the hosting interfaces available with the .NET Framework version 2.0 and later versions.
