I found new character(^) included to some c++ cods. Such as:

public:
virtual String^ ReadLine ()
 Can anybody tell what it is?

Thanks.

Hi,

I may be wrong, but it seems to be related to Mumps
http://cns2.uni.edu/~okane/source/ISR/classes.html

But I didn't go further. I tried googling more, but found nothing else. good 
luck!

I hope it helps

This is new managed c++ syntax. ^ is a shortcut for __gc, which marks 
garbage collected objects.

Not a shortcut, a replacement.

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc is the right place to discuss that sort 
of code (C++/CLI)
