Managed C++ is a now deprecated Microsoft set of deviations from C++, including grammatical and syntactic extensions, keywords and attributes, to bring the C++ syntax and language to the .NET Framework. These extensions allowed C++ code to be targeted to the Common Language Runtime (CLR) in the form of managed code as well as continue to interoperate with native code. Managed C++ was not a complete standalone, or full-fledged programming language.
Managed C++
#using
using namespace System;
int main() {
Console::WriteLine("Hello, world!");
return 0;
}
Vanilla C++
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello, world!";
return 0;
}
