  Any application that runs/executes under the Common Language Runtime (.NET Framework) is said to be a managed application. This doesn't mean that .NET applications can't use the Unmanaged resources. Like for e.g. a COM component can be easily used in a .NET application. This happens in background with the help of the RCW(Runtime callable Wrapper), which marshals calls between the .NET code to the Unmanaged COM component.
  
  Ultimately every code whether managed/unmanaged gets converted to the native code.
