In my case (as an MFC hack of many years standing who has never
actually tried .NET) it is because I was unsure of the nature of
the equivalence between "unmanaged code" and "native code", and of
mechanisms like the managed heap and the unmanaged heap.. But I'm
getting a far clearer picture from this thread and "native code"
makes a lot of sense. I feel that I'm learning a lot which will
help me get my bearings if and when I get into it.
