Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform

In the comments to a previous post, tzagotta says:

One thing that has frustrated me is the lack of books that have been updated for .NET 2.0. There are lots and lots of books generally related to .NET technology, but nearly all are for .NET 1.x.

I agree that this is frustrating.  Credit where credit is due, though.  Stephen R.G. Fraser has updated his earlier Manged C++ book to cover C++/CLI and this 2nd edition book is out now.  It is, as far as I know, the only C++/CLI book that's currently available.

I do know of at least one other C++/CLI book that's in the pipe.  Interesting that both these books are from APress.  It looks like APress is the publisher to watch for C++/CLI books...

    I remember reading somewhere that there will be a book by Stanley Lippman on the same. I think someone from Microsoft should write a book about how they are using Managed C++ in their products to bridge both Managed and Unmanaged world. Something along the lines of Adam Nathan's book. Using C++/CLI just to target the CLR is not worth the effort as C# is much more productive and the learning curve is less.
