Hi!
By "managed", we mean to refer to entity is executed, maintained and
released by the control of the Common Language Runtime. Thus, all code that
is executed by the CLR, or objects that are allocated/deallocated by it are
termed as managed entities by nature.
This is in contrast with the non-CLR based development (typically win32
based, COM based) where in no entity outside the execution application
manages the application code, memory, security and so on. In this case, the
application is responsible for doing it on its own. Such entities are
termed, thus, as unmanaged entities.
