In This Section

ALink API (Unmanaged API Reference): Describes the ALink API, which supports the creation of .NET Framework assemblies and unbound modules.
Constants (Unmanaged API Reference): Describes the constants that are defined in CorSym.idl.
Custom Interface Attributes (Unmanaged API Reference): Describes component object model (COM) custom interface attributes.

Fusion (Unmanaged API Reference): Describes the fusion API, which enables a runtime host to access the properties of an application's resources in order to locate the correct versions of those resources for the application.
Hosting (Unmanaged API Reference): Describes the hosting API, which enables unmanaged hosts to integrate the CLR into their applications.
Metadata (Unmanaged API Reference): Describes the metadata API, which enables a client such as a compiler to generate or access a component's metadata without the types being loaded by the CLR.
