c++ and cli

[lk@7]

Have read several articles but still not sure what are differences among c++, managed c++ and c++/CLI?. what are roles of managed c++ and c++/CLI under .NET?. finally, where to get online tutorial help examples on how to create GUI or console projects under c++/CLI?.

Well... C++ is just the language. Managed C++ was the implementation of the managed components for C++. Managed C++ was the first version of some C++ extensions Microsoft did to support the .NET framework. It has now been replaced with C++/CLI which are C++ extensions that bind the C++ language to the ECMA standard Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). These extensions are currenlty in the process of being standardized by the ECMA and are also being discussed to be integrated into the next C++ standard.

As to the tutorial...have you tried a search engine such as Google?
