more unmanaged/managed questions

So from some experiments, is it correct that a managed class can
contain a pointer to an unmanaged class?

But, a managed class cannot contain an instance of an unmanaged class?
Can a C# application have a reference to a unmanaged class created
with a C++/CLI project?

If not, is the strategy to just create a managed class that wraps the
unmanaged class?

Yes.
But, a managed class cannot contain an instance of an unmanaged class?
Not at the moment.
Can a C# application have a reference to a unmanaged class created
with a C++/CLI project?
No. Only C style exported functions and COM servers can be reused as native
code by C# or VB.NET.
If not, is the strategy to just create a managed class that wraps the
unmanaged class?
Yes. That or create a COM server.
