What is a CTS
What is a CTS?

In order that two language communicate smoothly CLR has CTS (Common Type System).Example
in VB you have “Integer” and in C++ you have “long” these datatypes are not compatible so the
interfacing between them is very complicated. In order to able that two different languages can
communicate Microsoft introduced Common Type System. So “Integer” datatype in VB6 and
“int” datatype in C++ will convert it to System.int32 which is datatype of CTS. CLS which is
covered in the coming question is subset of CTS.
Note: If you have undergone COM programming period interfacing VB6 application with
VC++ application was a real pain as the datatype of both languages did not have a
common ground where they can come and interface, by having CTS interfacing is smooth.
