    <p>The JIT is one aspect of the CLR.</p> <p>Specifically it is the part responsible for changing CIL/MSIL (hereafter called IL) produced by the original language's compiler (csc.exe for Microsoft c# for example) into machine code native to the current processor (and architecture that it exposes in the current process, for example 32/64bit). If the assembly in question was ngen'd then the the JIT process is completely unnecessary and the CLR will run this code just fine without it.</p> <p>Before a method is used which has not yet been converted from the intermediate representation it is the JIT's responsibility to convert it.<br> Exactly <em>when</em> the JIT will kick in is implementation specific, and subject to change. However the CLR design mandates that the JIT happens <em>before</em> the relevant code executes, JVM's in contrast would be free to interpret the code for a while while a separate thread creates a machine code representation.<br> The 'normal' CLR uses a <a href="http://codeidol.com/csharp/net-framework/Inside-the-CLR/Just-In-Time-(JIT)-Compilation/" rel="noreferrer">pre-JIT stub approach</a> where by methods are JIT compiled only as they are used. This involves having the initial native method stub be an indirection to instruct the JIT to compile the method then modify the original call to skip past the initial stub. The current compact edition instead compiles all methods on a type when it is loaded.</p> <p>To address the addition of Generics.</p> <p>This was the last major change to the IL specification and JIT in terms of its semantics as opposed to its internal implementation details.</p> <p>Several new IL instructions were added, and more meta data options were provided for instrumenting types and members. Constraints were added at the IL level as well.</p> <p>When the JIT compiles a method which has generic arguments (either explicitly or implicitly through the containing class) it may set up different code paths (machine code instructions) for each type used. In practice the JIT uses a shared implementation for all reference types since variables for these will exhibit the same semantics and occupy the same space (IntPtr.Size).</p> <p>Each value type will get specific code generated for it, dealing with the reduced / increased size of the variables on the stack/heap is a major reason for this. Also by emitting the constrained opcode before method calls many invocations on non reference types need not box the value to call the method (this optimization is used in non generic cases as well). This also allows the default<code>&lt;T&gt;</code> behaviour to be correctly handled and for comparisons to null to be stripped out as no ops (always false) when a non Nullable value type is used.</p> <p>If an attempt is made at runtime to create an instance of a generic type via reflection then the type parameters will be validated by the runtime to ensure they pass any constraints. This does not directly affect the JIT unless this is used within the type system (unlikely though possible).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
