"Essential Guide to Managed Extensions for C++" proves a comprehensive look at the possibilities available to programers writing code in managed extensions for C++ (MC++). The information comes "straight from the horse's mouth" - both authors have been key members of the Visual C++ .NET compiler development team and have spent most of their time implementing the language and educating others about MC++. The book has two parts. Part 1 is about the basics of Managed Extensions for C++. Part 2 is devoted to the transition between managed and unmanaged objects.
With the help of these experienced authors, developers can harness the power of native C++ code to the flexibility of managed code for optimal effect.

From the reviews:
"This book documents the extensions that Microsoft has added to C ++ to allow its use as a language in the .NET environment using CLR (Common Language Runtime). ... the authors have written a book that is very clearly focused on the needs of a C++ programmer faced with decisions about whether to use managed extensions or not. ... I have no doubt that if you need to consider using MC++ this book will help you." (Francis Glassborow, CVU, June, 2002)
"What this book covers is virtually everything that a C++ programmer will need to write code using Managed Extensions for C++ (MC++). ... an excellent tutorial of the various features of MC++. ... contains the best explanation of managed extensions that you are likely to find. Topics are discussed in terms that make sense for C++ programmers. ... The code samples are designed to give a clear explanation of the topic being discussed."
