VS 2005 / C++ __gc program / Converted from VS2003

i have a simple statemant in my program:

if(this->txt_MediaDir->Text != "")

txt_MediaDir is a standart singe line textbox. For some reason in my code
this statemant ALWAYS evaluates to "True". Does anyone have any experance or
idea what's could be going on?

I'd guess that you're getting an object reference comparison for some some
reason instead of a string comparison. You might try using

if (this->txt_MediaDir->Text->Length > 0)

or

if (!this->txt_MediaDir->Text->Equals(""))

instead.
