What is managed code ?

  • Hi,

    Can somebody please explain me what is managed code ?

    I have found a lot of references in SQL Server 2005 literature to Visual Studio .NET (or 2005), Visual Basic.NET, C#  as managed code.

    What is the difference between managed and unmanaged code ? Is SQL unmanaged and why ? Is old Visual Basic 6 unmanaged ?

    Thanks,

    Mark

  • Managed code is the code which is managed by CLR(Common Language Runtime). All the key functions like talking to OS, resource allocation and garbage collection is all managed by your CLR in case of managed code.

    In case of unmanaged code, you need to explicity write for resource allocation, garbage collection.
