I think this is shown here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...5/JITCompiler/

In addition, even with NGEN, Jit may still be used, look here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6t9t5wcf.aspx , at the section "Native Images and JIT Compilation".

The CLR does JITting on a per-method basis, this means that the entire code not is compiled before the application runs. Just the parts needed are.
