Delphi.NET CLS compliance

Alert: .NET newbie

I'm reading about CLI, CLR, .NET, and the like.

So, with the CLR there is a CTS (Common Type System) model for defining CLI
types, and the CTS is a superset of types. The CLS (Common Language
Specification) is a subset of CTS that all .NET compilers are supposed to
(or should?) implement/follow so that .NET assemblies produced from
different compilers can be used with one another. At least that is my
understanding of it.

My question: Are many of the components with rich Delphi.NET UI controls
constructed using only CLS types, such that Delphi .NET components can
theoretically be used with .NET apps generated with MS compilers, such as
Visual C++\CLI generated apps? If not, why not?

Thanks!
