It always amazes me how people will post messages to a forum without even bothering to see which forum they're posting in! (That's a hint: you posted your original message here in the C++/CLI forum.) I guess people just see the first three letters of the forum's name and don't bother to read the rest (I wish CP had a smiley that was less intense than :mad:, but more intense than :rolleyes:. Maybe a little guy looking annoyed with a bit of steam coming out of his ears.) Anyway, now that I've had my rant -- C++/CLI is Microsoft's slightly-modified version of C++ that works with their .NET framework. Here's a good introductory article: http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/cppcliintro01.asp[^]
