C++/CLI is not like Managed C++

I have been using for sometime and have to say I love this. It's amazing how simplified this is from Managed Extensions. My only complaint is that there is not much documentation for the same. msdn2 has some docs but many links are broken. - Anonymous

I do agree with you Kris. Let's not even talk about the lack of books!
I hope this will change after Beta 2, in the interest of the Visual C++ team...
BTW, I do like the new C# 2.0 features (anonymous methods, iterators, static classes, ...) but I don't think those are appealing enough to change language. - Anonymous

Its great. But the fact is the samples given in MSDN are not wokring in VS 2005 beta 1, and im forced to depend on workarrounds.
Moreover when can we expect final version C++/CLI sepcification. - Anonymous

I know. Beta 2 won't much longer before being released and I believe that most if not all of the C++/CLI features will be available.
