I installed the latest VAX build (1418) along with Visual Studio Beta 2.
However VA is very limited when programming Managed C++. There is no syntax coloring for the .NET classes (for instance System::Windows::Forms::GroupBox results in Forms and GroupBox being underlined red), no ./-> correction for handles (^) and no listboxes/parameter info for instances of/references to .NET classes.

Is there a setting I have missed or doesn't VAX support Managed C++?

i was not aware of the red underlining problem before

case=719

you may find turning on:
VA Options -> text editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense

helps with the listboxes.

Microsoft have made various changes to C++ with managed C++ and the current builds of VAX do not handle the resultant code very well.

Thanks for the reply feline!
"Get content from def. Intellisense" indeed helps a bit ... but I'm missing all the other features from VA badly. I hope the next releases/betas will handle Managed C++ better ...
