      MSDN, this book[^] are good places to start. The framework is so big, though, that you will never get complete information - you will just never need to use it all.

        Not for advertisement, but take a look to the book "CLR via C#" by J. Richter. It's a nicely describe CLR and programming for CLR.

            Yeah, I'm familiar with that name. I like to find more topics about that deepness in .NET.

              Dear lord no. This is a huge area and it would take you 100s of books and 10s of 1000s of hours to master ALL of the insides of the framework, and by that time it will have grown again.

                Honestly the best way to learn how a runtime works is to learn how to debug it at the lowest levels. Read every single article here: Tess Ferrandez on MSDN[^]. Read if from start to end (well, actually end to start) and you should have really good in-depth knowledge (granted, reading and digesting that whole blog will probably take a few months). Real-world experience/stories sticks a lot better than raw theory (at least in my experience).

                    CLR via C# by J. Richter (though already mentioned above) would be my answer to a book. There are some very good reads on msdn which go down in details of the framework. Selective reading on http://www.wintellect.com/[^] will be useful for going in deep into the framework.

                      Perhaps you could download the source code of .Net framework and look into it: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx[^]

                      Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover.

                        .NET is a layer on top of the WinAPI. Learn that. (WinAPI is a layer on top of HAL.DLL - you don't want to learn that)
