The nomenclature difference is that managed code is .NET, whether a web or Windows app.  Unmanaged code, also called Native Code, is non-.NET code.

Hi

In .NET all the applications you have developed are Managed code where as unmanaged code is when you write applications using native C or C++ compilers that compiles directly into machine code. 

.NET Runtime provides the management services for Memory management (through Garbage collection) and Security whereas application built using unmanaged code does not have these services offered because they are accessing to the Windows API directly and not going through a common Runtime such as .NET Common Language Runtime. 

I find this article to be very helpful on topics regarding managed, unmaged and native code.  You can refer to this article for more info: http://www.developer.com/net/cplus/print.php/2197621
