Re:Announcing .NET Core 1.1 on Wednesday November 16, 2016 @05:20PM (#12972137)
.Net is both a run time and an echo system. C# is one of several programming languages (VB, F#) that get compiled into CIL (common intermediate language) and executed on the .Net run time CLR (common language runtime). Think of Java being compiled and executed on the JVM (java virtual machine).
