Hello friends,
I am new to IT. I am learning .net.
First topic in .net is .net framework architecture.
Layer 1 - Representing .net languages
Layer 2 - Representing .net technologies
Layer 3 - Representing BCL
Layer 4 - Representing execution engine. i.e, CLR

I have windows 8 OS, and .net framework version it came with is v4.0.
So is there any comparision of these layers with content inside framewrok version4.0 folder?
Like, in this folder i can see all .dll files which are BCL files. So that helped me to understand abt Layer 3. But how to interpret layer 1,2,4 in local .netframework ver4.0 folder?

Explanation of it will be really helpful

What I have tried:

i tried looking into all folders inside version4.0 folder. But not getting clear idea.

There is no comparison in between the folder structure and layers discussed above. The .Net framework architecture is doesn't represent any physical thing, rather it is all about conceptual or functional. Checkout these links,
