Actually, this was my thought as well. However, I have just created a
very simple Managed C++ / CLR chat client and server, where the client
uses Windows Forms. As long as the CLR setting isn't for pure CLR, it
seems to work well. MC++ is different in this respect, compared with
other .NET languages, I think. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm
rather surprised I ran into so few problems (I'm not a heavy user of
Managed C++, my preference for .NET is F#).
