What is Manage and unmanaged code

Question

Accepted Answer

Managed code is code that is executed by the Common Language Runtime (CLR) while unmanaged code is code that is executed outside of the CLR.

Managed code is written in high-level languages like C# or VB.NET and is compiled to Intermediate Language (IL) which is then executed by the CLR.
Unmanaged code is written in languages like C or C++ and directly compiled to machine code which is executed by the operating system.
Managed code provides automatic memory management, exception handling, and security features, while unmanaged code requires manual memory management and lacks these features.
Examples of managed code include .NET applications, while examples of unmanaged code include legacy applications or system-level code.
