Some ECMA Definitions.

It should help all those .NET aspirants…

Object: An instance of a reference type. An object has more to it than a value. An object is self-typing; its type is explicitly stored in its representation. It has an identity that distinguishes it from all other objects, and it has slots that store other entities (which can be either objects or values). While the contents of its slots can be
changed, the identity of an object never changes.

Property: A member that defines a named value and the methods that access that value. A property definition defines the accessing contracts on that value. Hence, the property definition specifies which accessing methods exist and their respective method contracts.

Manifest: That part of an assembly that specifies the following information about that assembly: its version name, culture, and security requirements; which other files, if any, belong to that assembly, along with a cryptographic hash of each file; which of the types defined in other files of that assembly are to be exported from that assembly; and, optionally, a digital signature for the manifest itself, and the public key used to compute it.

Managed code: Code that contains enough information to allow the CLI to provide a set of core services. For example, given an address for a method inside the code, the CLI must be able to locate the metadata describing that method. It must also be able to walk the stack, handle exceptions, and store and retrieve security information.

Managed data: Data that is allocated and released automatically by the CLI, through a process called garbage collection.

Delegate: A reference type such that an instance of it can encapsulate one or more methods in an invocation list. Given a delegate instance and an appropriate set of arguments, one can invoke all of the methods in a delegate’s invocation list with that set of arguments.

Value: A simple bit pattern for something like an integer or a float. Each value has a type that describes both the storage that it occupies and the meanings of the bits in its representation, and also the operations that can be performed on that representation. Values are intended for representing the simple types and non-objects in programming languages.
