Writing CLS-Compliant Code in C#
The syntax of C# ensures that many CLS rules can’t be broken. For example, C# doesn’t permit the declaration of global static fields or non-zero-based arrays, both requirements of CLS compliance. However, some CLS rules can’t be enforced by the language, and guaranteeing that they’re followed is the responsibility of the programmer. The following list highlights some key requirements of writing CLS-compliant code in C#:
