C++ v. Managed C++

[Kaabi]

What are the differences between C++ and Managed C++? What does Visual Studio .NET have to do with C++? Are they similar languages?

Managed C++ means that the memory is managed for you. You do not have to free up any pointers that you create.

Visual Studio .NET is a "managed" library. Inside of VS .NET there are several different languages you can make such as C++, Visual Basic, and C#.
