Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard
VA_X.dll file version 10.2.1440.0 built 2006.01.17
Visual C++/CLI
Visual Assist X does not seem to recognize "GetType()" and "typeid"
public ref struct Record
{
String ^ name;
int age;
};
...
Type ^ type1 = Record::typeid; // red underline (no intellisense)
Record ^ rec = gcnew Record;
Type ^ type2 = rec->GetType(); // red underline
...

| That is C#, isn't it? The ^ in C++ is the bitwise OR. |

jpizzi this is managed C++ syntax. CLI is its new name in VS2005, i know that much, but that is about where my knowledge of this ends.
case=998
interestingly enough, with VA disabled the IDE its self will not suggest typeid after the struct name, at least it will not for me. |

| You are right! It does not show up when VAX is disabled. However, it does turn blue. |

Come on, now! Let's not get started!
I have a lot of native C code to work with! C++/CLI is a better tool to work with this code. |

It appears "static" methods or properties on types get the red underline:
__int64::MinValue |

Managed C++ is better to work in than native C++?
Please, do tell how that is. Maybe I can learn something about managed C++. |

| Native C++ is great, and I have written a lot of code using ATL, STL, WTL, MFC, Boost library and Win32. C++/CLI (or Managed C++) is just another nice tool that integrates legacy code with Managed code without a lot of effort. I needed to access an entity-relation database via the web and C++/CLI cut development time. I still need to know C# to create ASP.NET applications; however,the helper assemblies were created in C++/CLI. |

i am seeing the same thing.
case=1007
as for the whole question of managed C++, i do not know enough about the language to have an informed opinion. however what i have seen seems rather "complicated", since mixing garbage collected memory allocation with normal memory allocation, plus the new types, all seems like quite a lot to juggle. certainly it tends to result in code snippets that look very strange.
then again, this could simply be because i am not familiar with it *shrug* |

| Generally, C# is a cleaner looking language than C++/cLI. However, C++/CLI appears more C++ like than the old 1.1 Managed C++. Anyway, C++/CLI is not for everyone. There is much more learning resources available for C# and VB than C++/CLI. Since I have used C++ for years, C++/CLI seems quite natural to me. |
