VS2008 Code Coverage and C++/CLI

[innes]

I can't find anything on this in the VS2008 help (searching for
'coverage' returns no results).

Can anyone confirm that VS2008's code coverage functionality doesnt
extend to working on C++/CLI assemblies, apart from the least useful
type (/clr:safe)? I think I saw that last detail somewhere on the
internet.

Thanks.

It's my understanding that code coverage in VS2005/2008 covers everything -
but sometimes you have to "go offroad" and deal with the command0line
coverage tools directly instead of using the Visual. Studio support. I'll
be curious to hear if that's not the case.

Thanks for the reply - I managed to get code coverage working with a
small test app, and then tried again with my assembly, and got it
working this time.
