title: Is mscorlib.dll/mscoree.dll loaded when .NET application runs
body: <p>I am trying to get something clarified.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>When a .NET console application is run, does mscorlib.dll/mscoree.dll get loaded in the process's virtual address space? </p></li>
  <li><p>mscorlib.dll and mscoree.dll (CLR) are <strong>not</strong> managed dlls. Is that correct?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Also, what is a good resource to understand more about how a .NET program is executed?</p>
