Hi all, I'm not very familar with microsoft .net technologies, but I would like to know if anyone has been able to use boost inside a managed c++ application? Are there some performance hits, pitfalls, or is it in general a bad idea? Thanks. Kevin
I've not tried it, but I do know a bit about .NET. I can't see any reason why boost should not work in there BUT in a managed C++ application I'd say it really only makes sense in the *un*managed parts of the code.

There is no problem using Boost, or any standard C++ libraries, as long as you do so in a native C++ class and not a managed C++ class. Managed C++ classes do not understand templates or template instantiations at all in the 1.0 and 1.1 release of .NET and will fail to compiler with them.
