More precisely, it is a CLI compliant VM environment which provides a fairly large, high-level, Windows-oriented API which is common for all languages. However C++/CLI design ideals, are not only C++ to be used for application programming as a first class citizen CLI (.NET) citizen, but *also* for .NET library writing (managed dlls). With C++/CLI and VC++ 2005, C++ becomes the systems programming language of CLI (and .NET).

In the managed world every CLI (.NET) feature is provided separately from the unmanaged world features. -- Ioannis Vranos http://www23.brinkster.com/noicys
