Hello

Does anyone know if STL containers work with Visual C++ Express?

For example how would one correctly declare a map with a System::String as
a key and another System::String as a value? The following does not work:

std::map<System::String^, System::String^) amap;

I believe gcnew can not be used with 'unmanaged types'.

Thanks very much in advance.

Yes it does.

You can't. Use the System::Collections::Generic::Dictionary<K,V> generic
collection instead. "STL.NET", which hasn't been released, would let you do
what you want.

Once again, thank you very much, Carl.
