C++/CLI: handle to ref class member of native class

[Slawomir Lisznianski]

The C++/CLI Language Specification Working Draft 1.5, Jun, 2004 doesn't
mention this scenario: can a handle to a ref class type be a member of a
native class?

Thanks,

The C++/CLI Language Specification Working Draft 1.5, Jun, 2004 doesn't
mention this scenario: can a handle to a ref class type be a member of a
native class?

This has not been addressed in any of the released previews of the language
specification. However, there is a design here. It is called Mixed Types,
and you will note that there is a chapter reserved for the topic.

Specification aside, this is not going to be supported in the Visual C++
2005 release. We had a lot to do, and we wanted to provide high quality
features. Unfortunately, that meant we had to make difficult cuts such as
this.
