Any late-breaking updates on C++/CLI docs or books?  I've been waiting
for Lippman's book, listed as published in September, but it looks
like it's not available.

My primary project is conversion of a VS2003 wrapper for a legacy
Win32 DLL.  I'm figuring that this should simpler and more reliable in
C++/CLI.  I'd like to find docs and sample code for doing this.


The product (VS 2005) will launch on November 7. The VS 2005 documentation does contain some samples and documentation for C++/CLI, and the C++/CLI specification can be found on the internet.

Stan's book is apparently delayed, but I'm sure it'll be coming along.

The product VS 2005 final is supposed to be available to MSDN subscribers TODAY.

I was told there are a lot of books in the make on c++/CLI.
I know of 3:

"Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform" http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10082

"Pro Visual C++ 2005 for C# Developers"
http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10074

"C++/CLI Essentials"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321174054/qid=1129279079/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/302-2997572-1032002
