Managed Code

Managed code refers to code that has been written using any one of the high-level programming languages supported for use with the Microsoft .Net Framework. All of these languages share a unified set of class libraries which can then be encoded into an Intermediate Language (IL). A run-time aware compiler is used to compile the intermediate language into a native executable code which can be run within the managed execution environment. This will ensure that there will always be proper array bound and index checking, as well as proper garbage collection and error handling.

Many typical programming mistakes can be avoided using managed code through compiling in the managed execution environment. Small and tedious tasks such as safety checks, destruction of unused objects and memory management are already done automatically.

Programming languages supported:

• C++
• C#
• J#
• Microsoft Jscript .Net
• Microsoft Visual Basic .Net
• Other languages which support the .Net framework
