ICorRuntimeHost::Start Method

Starts the common language runtime (CLR).

HRESULT Start ();

Return Value

HRESULT

Description

S_OK

The operation was successful.

S_FALSE

The operation failed to complete.

E_FAIL

An unknown, catastrophic failure occurred. If a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable in the process. Subsequent calls to any hosting APIs return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE.

HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE

The CLR has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully.

Remarks

It is typically not necessary to call the Start method, because the CLR starts automatically upon the first request to run managed code.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family

Header: MSCorEE.idl

Library: Included as a resource in MSCorEE.dll

.NET Framework Version: 1.0, 1.1
