Managed C++ and Jagged Arrays

[PaulW]

Does anyone know the forthcoming Whidbey release of the C++ compiler support Jagged (or Ragged if you prefer) Arrays
If so how?

Hello Paul,

According to the post:

Ronald Laeremans from Visual C++ team answered that Jagged Arrays is
supported in VC++ in Whidbey.

You should be able to do aggregate initialization in Managed C++ in
Whidbey. The only thing not allowed in Managed C++ V1 Whidbey is declaring
a jagged array, but it's allowed in MC++ V2.

String* strArray[,] = { {S"one", S"two", S"three"}, {S"four", S"five",
S"six"} };

I can compile this using Whidbey compiler. However, since Whidbey has no
beta version yet. So it is possible to change.

Does that answer your question?

Hi Paul,

Yes, it is:
array<array<int>^>^ MyArray = gcnew array<array<int>^> (10);

Thanks very much for the reply.
It will eliminate a smallish C# module that I have to use at the moment
It could be smaller but I had to put more code into it for perf.
