Some of the advantages of MANAGED Code in VB.NET are as follows:

• It implements trash collection on its own.
• It improves the application's security by AUTOMATICALLY checking memory spaces for preventing buffer overflow when using the runtime environment.
• It also checks references, which determines whether or not the reference points to a genuine object and whether or not they are duplicates.
• It also includes type checking at runtime and dynamic type checking.

The fundamental drawback of managed languages is that we can't allot memory on our own, and we can't ACCESS the architecture of the Central Processing Unit or CPU at a basic level. C#, Visual Basic, F#, and other high-level languages that may be executed on top of .NET are examples of managed code. You do not RECEIVE machine code when you COMPILE code written in those languages with their respective compilers. The runtime then compiles and executes the Intermediate Language code. The only exception to this rule is C ++, which may generate native, unmanaged binaries for Windows. Runtime engines include Java, Visual Basic, and the.NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). A DBMS may also have a runtime engine for the programming language it supports.
