managed vs unmanaged C++

[Bob Cummings]

Greetings everyone,

Background:

I am working on a project as an intern. When I went to my professor for some guidance, he suggested
the design of the program was just about perfect for the new dotNET architecture. I looked at the
frame work for dotNET and it does seem like it might be a good fit. The project is being written
in C++ by team memebers seperated geographically. We are all college students but only I am
studying CIS the rest are ecology grad students who have taken a course or two in C++.

Question:

I like the idea of using ISO standardized C++. It makes co-development much easier with the others
in our team. So can anyone tell me if Managed C++ for the dotNET framework is radically different
ISO C++. Will it support the STL? I have tried to google my way around this question, but it
appears the C# and VB.NET are all anyone wants to talk about on the net. If anyone can point me in
a good direction to figure this out, that would be nice.


Second Question:

I read alt.comp.lang.l earn.c-c++ quite a bit and they have a nice FAQ that includes book reviews and
such. Where would this news group store it's FAQ?


Thanks for your time

Bob

managed C++ are only "extensions " to normal C++!

In the docu it is called:
"Managed Extensions for C++"

So it is an extension...
