100% Managed Code

Hi Everyone,

What dose it mean when a company advertises 100% .net managed code. For
example
I found a company offering a PDF generation control that they claim is 100%
..net managed code. Does that mean that they don't use any adobe api calls.
To my understanding the PDF kits I have purchased in the past have been ocx
files that provide easy access to the underlying Adobe API functions. Am I
correct in thinking that these .net controls do the same thing?

Just curious,

Frank,

If they advertise it as 100% managed code, then that means they probably don't use Interop to use the Adobe API. However, I've also seen companies that build .NET components advertise their products as being 100% managed code, when they are using Interop to talk to existing COM objects and what not. They just kind of feel that since the code they wrote was in .NET, that its 100% managed...entir ely not true though.

I'd be a little fishy about it, and check things out..maybe even followup with their sales team just to find out for sure.

I would certainly agree with what you are saying... however in this
particular case it shouldn't be all that surprising since the PDF file
format is freely published.

I'm definately not arguing with that...just wanted him to be aware that some companies misuse (and overuse) the "100% managed code" phrase.
