No in my opinion perhaps not, see this link:-

http://vb.net-informations.com/framework/managed_code.htm

at 2nd para line:-
The Managed Code running in a Common Language Runtime (CLR) cannot be accessed outside the runtime environment as well as cannot call directly from outside the runtime environment. This makes the programs more isolated and at the same time computers are more secure . Unmanaged Code can bypass the .NET Framework and make direct calls to the Operating System. Calling unmanaged code presents a major security risk.

appears like there is difference between them.

Solution 2

In managed code memory allocation and release is managed by underlying system (like JVM in java and CLR in .NET) whereas in Unmanaged code programmer need to do that (like destroying pointers in C).

There is a lot more to it than just memory management.
