how powerful the manged c++ from .net is?

[CChakra]

I want to know if managed c++ have the same power as the standard c++ does.

And how to run ANSI c++ in .net.?

please enlighten me

best regards,

ANSI (or rather, the proper name, ISO) C++ cannot run in dotNet.
That said, though, I believe C++/CLI (managed) is able to do everything ISO C++ can. For now. That will probably change as C++0x comes out.

Oh! I see.. , thanks for reply

Managed Extensions for C++, as it appears in Visual Studio.Net 2002 and 2003, is a broken mess. Don't use it.

C++/CLI in Visual Studio.net 2005 and 2008 is apparently a very well-designed language that merges standard C++ (as much as VS supports) as well with CLI capabilities as can probably be expected. It supports everything standard C++ does, every CLI feature worth supporting, and even manages to combine these features very well. For example, you can define real CLI class templates (every instantiation is an unrelated CLI class, of course), and you can pass CLI generic classes to templates that have template template parameters.

Although as it is its own standard, it will probably have to be updated to use the new C++ features. But perhaps it can be pretty certain they, too, will get the new C++ features, in time. We will see.

The standard will have to be updated. The actual implementation will just pick these features up as they are implemented in Visual Studio, I'd say.

Well, that explains what managed c++ is.

thanks all
