this is the new C++/CLI format for managed pointer, or reference (I think). Ask in the "C++/CLI" forum for a better answer.

It represents a handle.It shows a handle to managed object.Poniters are with * but handles with ^.If you use of pointers then you must use of delete else you will have a leak but for handles its optionly.

Does it mean handle is just another way of declaring a pointer? Is that right?
