Um...pretty much all of it...

That's a "nonsense question" in a lot of ways. Yes, .NET is implemented as a set of libraries, but it's a Framework - it acts as a layer between the OS (or more specifically the OS API libraries) and the C# or VB code that you write. There is no one specific "bit" that communicates, because (for example) Control objects interact in many different ways : processing and sending windows messages for example, and calling OS libraries functions to perform specific tasks. And other classes interact with different bits in different ways.

And an application doesn't have to go via the .NET assemblies to do it - you can use DLLImport to directly access the same API functions that .NET does.

The is no .NET assembly that is the only communication interface.
