Microsoft developed a new runtime environment known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR includes the Common Type System (CTS) for cross-language type compatibility and the Common Language Specification (CLS) for ensuring that third-party libraries can be used from all .NET-enabled languages.

I guess it does look for a main() method after the generation of IL code.

CLR won't look for main. the code developed using c# or vb.net or etc is not understood by clr .it knows only IL code. The language types and code is not understood by clr.
so, after converting into IL only clr understands.

The services of CLR like the memory management,Garbage collector will be carried on once the IL and Machine Language is generated. Assemblies will be created for the project and the lifetime of objects so created in use is managed upon.

Once IL and Machine Language is generated, by using CLR, JIT(just in time) compiles the IL files, where it converts the code to Operating System understandable.

CLR translates this MSIL code into an executable code when the program is executed making the program to run in any environment for which the CLR is implemented.

When .Net program is executed CLR activates the JIT compiler, where JIT compiler converts MSIL code into native code (OS understandable).

When assembly is loaded for execution CLR component -JIT compiler convert it into machine specific code, after that CLR loads the required references and dll required by assembly and then for any type of application (Console or GUI) Main method is executed as starting point of assembly.
