Managed C++ will not be supported in the future...

At the following link:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b23b94s7

there is the following quote near the top of the page (pay special attention
to the last sentance):

"For Visual C++ 2005, C++ includes new features for targeting virtual
machines with garbage collection, such as the .NET Framework. In a future
release, support for Managed Extensions for C++ will be removed."

Ouch..... ; )

What that means is that support for the old syntax will be removed. The new
syntax is here to stay!

Unfortunate wording of course.... I don't think Managed code will go away,
but the old awkward syntax will likely be deprecated in the future. Even
so, it takes MSFT years to actually remove anything so we'll all be retired
by then ;o)

Why would you say that?

Given that:

1) MC++ was not all that well received as to its elegance.

2) MS heard the feedback and put Stan Lippman

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/p...lippmanpr.mspx

on the case

3) His team revamped the language

4) And they submitted it as an ECMA standard.

Will

Because I've been programming since 1969 and it has become apparent that
absolutely no syntax is ever here to stay... : )

Oh, I don't know about that :) They lose favor, but languages rarely truly
die - heck, you can even still write programs in Atlas Autocode if you want,
thanks to computer historians.

I have a complex codebase developed in Managed C++ that I am not particularly looking forward to porting to C++/CLI :) I'd like to know what the most compelling arguments for doing so are so I can justify the cost. For example, will Whidbey generate 64-bit assemblies for Managed C++, or only for C++/CLI? If we have to move to C++/CLI to get 64-bit support, then that's a pretty good reason to move. Also, I've heard rumors about a tool...

Hey everyone, I noticed that unlike C#, managed C++ still uses headers and implementation files. My question is, is there any consensus of where to put the implementation of the managed class? In my project, I put everything in the header file. I don't see the need to put it in a seperate implementation file. Any thoughts?

Hello Esteemed Developers and Experts, I have been using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET for 1 year. During this time, I have searhed some topics over internets. Most of the topics about .NET is related to C# and Visual Basic .NET. There are less documents about Visual C++ .NET or Managed C++. I wonder the reasons of below questions: 1) Is C# more powerful than Managed C++ and Visual C++ .NET? 2) Is Microsoft intending to support C# and...

Hello, I am trying to create a dll that internally uses managed types but exposes a plain unmanaged interface. All the managed stuff shall be "wrapped out of sight". So that I would be able to use that dll from pure unmanaged code (for example inherit from classes in that dll). Is something like that possible. I heared something called ManWarp tried that approach. If it is possible, how can I do that. Maybe there is a small litttle
