Managed Extensions for C++ (MC++) are extensions added to the Visual C++ compiler from Microsoft to enable access to the functionality provided by the .NET framework. Two key members of the Visual C++ .NET compiler development team at Microsoft show how to combine the power of native C++ code with the flexibility of managed code when writing managed applications for the .NET platform.
Both authors are key members of the Visual C++ .NET compiler development team at Microsoft This is the premier title published on .NET programming with C++ All chapters include code samples with detailed explanations Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

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."
